Abramoff's Credit Card Bills Show Heavy Spending On DeLay...
ABC News | Brian Ross | March 2, 2006 at 12:37 PM

The paper trail seems so obvious, it makes you wonder whether anyone ever worried about getting caught. When Congressman Tom Delay and his wife flew from Houston to a golf resort in Scotland, in June, 2000, the first class air fare cost $14,001. A big ticket item for a public servant. But someone else was paying.

The American Express bills of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff show he footed the bill for the tickets, in an apparent violation of House ethics rules.

1. Of course, no one worried!

Oh well, Tom, sic transit gloria mundi and all that...

2. I have to believe they figured since they had control of everything
not only wouldn't they get caught, but nobody would even look!

Either that, or they're the damn dumbest criminals i've EVER seen!

There is a golden rule that all "successful" criminals abide by.

Never write anything down. Never leave a paper trail. Never let anything connect to YOU!
