Michigan Connection to Jack Abramoff

Well it didn't take long to connect the dots in Michigan and you can see that scumbags like rep Hoekstra from Holland was on the take. You even have the combover Levin brothers and Debbie Stabenow, I think she just wanted more cookies thats all. I knew it would ensnare some dems, its too big of a scandal not to but the bulk of the people going down will be republiscums and it will be nice to see a change come this November. If Debbie and the Levin brothers are guilty well lets get rid of them, replace them with some honest dems who will do the right thing. This scandal is too hot to sweep under the rug and Jack better be wearing a bullet proof vest from now til November because I can just imagine how many hits are out on this sleazeball.

  • The Saginaw Chippewa tribe: Abramoff allegedly bilked the tribe out of $10 million, while Scanlon got $4 million. The money was part of $80 million the pair charged for consulting four tribes in 2000-03.

    Representatives of the Michigan tribe told a U.S. Senate panel in 2004 that they paid about $4 million for a database of Michigan voters that could have been purchased for $75,000.

    In various e-mails to Scanlon, Abramoff called his Saginaw Chippewa clients "troglodytes," "plain stupid," "morons," "SagChip idiots" and "the stupidest idiots in the land for sure."

    The wealthy tribe did get $3 million in federal money meant to build schools for poor tribes after intervention by Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont. The tribe's Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant earns more than $400 million yearly.

    Burns, who got $136,000 from Abramoff, has returned some of the money.

    Democratic Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Rep. David Camp, R-Midland, have said they urged Burns to allow the tribe to get the school money. The tribe's casino is in Camp's district.


  • Contributions to Michigan congressional members (all since 1999):

    Camp, $35,500; Rep. Dale Kildee, D-Flint, $19,000; Stabenow $5,000; Carl Levin, $2,000; Rep. Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, $4,000; and Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, $2,000.

    Other contributions: Carl Levin: about $5,000 from Abramoff's former employer, Greenberg Traurig, LLP. The funds weren't connected to Abramoff or casinos, said Tara Andringa, a Levin spokeswoman.

    Rep. Peter Hoesktra, R-Holland, $2,000 from Greenberg Traurig. Hoesktra has said he never got money from Abramoff. In 2000, Hoesktra got $5,000 from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, one of Abramoff's clients.
