John McCain - Jack Abramoff - Bob Riley - Tom DeLay - Bob Ney - Money - Politics - Investigation - Law - EMail - Alabama - Louisiana - Mississippi - Arizona - Texas - Ohio - History - 2002 Election - 2006 Election - 2008 Election - "McCain Withheld Controversial Abramoff Email." ... "In the 2006 Senate report concerning [Republican Lobbyist Jack] Abramoff's activities, which [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate John] McCain spearheaded, the Arizona Republican conspicuously left out information detailing how Alabama [Republican Governor] Gov. Bob Riley was targeted by Abramoff's influence peddling scheme. Riley, a Republican, won election in November 2002, and was reelected in 2006." ... "In a December 2002 email [PDF] obtained by the Huffington Post -- which McCain and his staff had access to prior to the issuance of his report -- Abramoff explains to an aide what he would like to see Riley do in return for the "help" he received from Abramoff's tribal clients." ... "An official with the Mississippi Choctaws "definitely wants Riley to shut down the Poarch Creek operation," Abramoff wrote, "including his announcing that anyone caught gambling there can't qualify for a state contract or something like that."" ... "The note showed not only the reach of Abramoff, but raised questions about Riley's victory in what was the closest gubernatorial election in Alabama history." ... "And yet, despite the implications of the information, McCain and the Senate Indian Affairs Committee sat on the controversial portion of the email. According to an official familiar with the investigation, McCain also subsequently refused to make the email public after the report was released." ... "There was a brief footnote in the report that quoted William Worfel, former vice chairman of the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, saying that Abramoff told the chief of a Mississippi tribe to spend $13 million "to get the governor of Alabama elected to keep gaming out of Alabama so it wouldn't hurt ... his market in Mississippi."" ... "But Riley's name and the details of what was being asked of him were not mentioned once in the 373-page document." ... "Indeed, as the Associated Press noted in 2006, McCain stayed deliberately agnostic as to Riley's involvement." ... ""Although Sen. McCain has long bragged of his role in the Abramoff investigation, he let [former Texas Republican Representative] Tom DeLay and the other members of Congress who were doing Abramoff's bidding completely off the hook. The sole exception was [former Ohio Republican Representative] Rep. Bob Ney, who served time in prison," Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics In Washington told the Huffington Post recently. "Sen. McCain knew what his colleagues were up to, he chose to take the easier path and give them a free pass."" -By Sam Stein -HuffingtonPost.com

Craig - Vitter - Stevens - DeLay - Ney - Cunningham - Sherwood - Renzi - Doolittle - Jefferson - Politicians - Lawmakers - Homosexual - Idaho - Louisiana - Alaska - Texas - Ohio - California - Pennsylvania - Arizona - 2008 Election - "House G.O.P.'s History Could Repeat in Senate." ... "The embarrassing [Idaho Republican Senator] Larry Craig episode combined sex and the justice system – always a potent political mix and one reason the Republican leadership moved so swiftly to jettison Mr. Craig." ... "Already, Mr. Craig is the star of a Web video from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee featuring a lineup of recent Republican scandals being shown to the tune of the “Bad Boys” theme song from the television show “Cops.” It seeks to ridicule Republican claims to hold the moral high ground." ... "Mr. Craig’s guilty plea to a sexually related disorderly conduct charge only served to remind people about Mr. [Louisiana Republican Senator] Vitter’s [alleged prostitution] case – and prompt accusations of a double standard since Republicans took no action against the Louisiana lawmaker for his heterosexual incident compared to Mr. Craig’s homosexual one." ... "Republicans can point to the indictment of Louisiana Democrat[ic Representative] William Jefferson, but Democrats can counter with the names of Senators Craig, Vitter and [Alaska Republican Senator Ted] Stevens not to mention those of former Representatives [Texas Republican] Tom DeLay, [Ohio Republican] Bob Ney, [California Republican] Duke Cunningham and [Pennsylvania Republican] Don Sherwood." ... "Representative Rick Renzi of Arizona, another Republican under investigation, has already announced he will not seek re-election [in 2008] and top aides to [Republican] Representative John Doolittle of California, a former member of the Republican leadership, were called before a grand jury this week." -By Carl Hulse -NYTimes

Neil Volz - Bob Ney - Jack Abramoff - Michael Scanlon - Tony Rudy - David Safavian - Money - Law - Politics - Ohio - "Document details Volz’s cooperation in Abramoff case." ... "A new court document details the extent to which Neil Volz, who at one point was the top aide of former [Ohio Republican Representative] Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) before going to work for lobbyist Jack Abramoff, assisted federal authorities in building a case against the lawmaker that resulted in a guilty plea on charges of bribery and public corruption last year." ... "Volz was one of the first people to begin to explore cooperating with federal prosecutors in its investigation of the wide-ranging corruption scheme Abramoff and others perpetrated. According to a “substantial assistance memorandum” filed in the D.C. district court Wednesday, his cooperation was both “timely and substantial.”" ... "In May of last year, Volz pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring with Jack Abramoff, Michael Scanlon, Tony Rudy and others to commit honest services fraud and to violate the federal one-year lobbying ban, For his help in bringing down Abramoff, Ney and others, prosecutors are recommending home confinement as punishment." ... "In February 2006, he began providing “unlimited cooperation in dozens of debriefings, and his cooperation was substantial, especially in connection with the investigation and prosecutions of Ney, [William] Heaton and [General Services Administration chief of staff] David Safavian,” according to the document." -By Susan Crabtree -TheHill.com

J Dennis Hastert - DeLay - Foley - Cunningham - Ney - Legislation - History - Illinois - Texas - Ga - La - Florida - California - Ohio - "Hastert Planning to Retire at End of 2008, GOP Sources Say." ... "After less than a year as a rank-and-file House member, former Speaker [Illinois Republican Representative] J. Dennis Hastert is expected to call an end to a political career that made him the longest serving Republican Speaker in the history of the House of Representatives." ... "Hastert, 65, was first elected to Congress in 1986 after GOP [Illinois Republican Representative] Rep. John E. Grotberg retired. He quietly worked his way up the ranks in the House, propelled into the Republican leadership in 1994 by then-Rep. [Texas Republican Representative] Tom DeLay, R-Texas." ... "Hastert ran DeLay’s successful upstart campaign for majority whip after Republicans captured control of Congress, and DeLay in turn named Hastert as his chief deputy. Four years later, in 1998, DeLay helped to elevate Hastert to Speaker after [Georgia Republican Representative] Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., stepped down following the loss of GOP seats in that year’s elections and [Louisiana Republican Representative] Robert L. Livingston, R-La., withdrew abruptly from contention after acknowledging an extramarital affair." ... "Throughout his time as Speaker, Hastert was personally popular with rank-and-file Republicans, who never saw him as part of the ethics problems that plagued DeLay and former [Florida Republican Representative] Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. (1995-2006), or the criminal misdeeds of former [California Republican Representative] Reps. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Calif. (1991-2005) and [Ohio Republican Representative] Bob Ney, R-Ohio (1995-2006)." ... "He also set a standard for the GOP majority by only allowing legislation on the floor of the House that was backed by the “majority of the majority,” [of Republicans] an approach that all but denied Democrats a chance to help shape legislation." ... "The minority party had little say in conferences with the Senate during Hastert’s tenure, because conference committees became an after-the-fact formality that rubber-stamped deals worked out by a handful of House and Senate Republican members who operated under the thumb of party leaders." -By Jonathan Allen with contributions by Alan K. Ota, Martin Kady II, and David Nathe -CQPolitics.com

Bob Ney - Jack Abramoff - Money - Politics - Law - Secrets - Ohio - "Ney's Chief of Staff Wore Wire, Was Key To Boss's Conviction." ... "When Will Heaton went to work for [Ohio Republican Representative] Rep. Robert W. Ney in 2001, he was 23 years old and still in awe of the members of Congress he had come to know years earlier as a congressional page. Within six months, the Ohio Republican promoted the fresh-faced neophyte to be the youngest chief of staff in Congress." ... "For the next five years, Heaton stuck by Ney, even as the House Administration Committee chairman accepted free meals at super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff's downtown restaurant, sports tickets in his arena skyboxes and luxurious junkets around the world. Heaton accompanied Ney on a golf junket to Scotland with Abramoff, and he helped Ney return the favors to Abramoff." ... "But as Ney's political career disintegrated amid revelations of his ties to Abramoff, Heaton became disillusioned and began secretly helping an FBI task force investigating Abramoff. At first, through his attorney, Heaton handed over internal documents from Ney's office to the FBI. Then he recorded colleagues in Ney's office." ... "Last summer, Heaton began secretly recording his conversations with the six-term congressman, according to documents filed in court last week by the government and Heaton's lawyers. Heaton taped numerous phone calls and wore a hidden wire to a 2 1/2 -hour, face-to-face meeting with Ney that provided "exceptionally important" help to the FBI's investigation of Abramoff."

Ney - Abramoff - Money - Politics - Ohio - "Ney Says He’ll Resign From House." ... "Rep. Bob Ney, facing certain expulsion from the House after being convicted of two felonies in relation to the Jack Abramoff scandal, said on Friday he will resign by the end of the day." ... "Ney’s corruption case was detailed in Justice Department documents released in September, and they revealed a five-year association with Abramoff that included taking trips to Scotland, luxury sports suite tickets and gambling chips from a foreign businessman." ... "In return for these favors, Ney tried to give Abramoff clients favorable treatment." ... "In the plea document, Ney says he accepted free trips, including a $160,000 excursion to play golf in Scotland in 2002; a $7,200 gambling vacation in New Orleans in 2003; and a $3,500 vacation in Lake George, N.Y., that same year, with lobbyists picking up the tab in each case." ... "Ney also accepted thousands in gambling chips at a British casino. He had a staffer carry $5,000 in cash through U.S. Customs so he wouldn’t have to report tens of thousands in winnings from the casino." -By Martin Kady II -CQ.com

Ney - Abramoff - Doolittle - Volz - Money - Politics - Ohio - Montana - California - "Ney Pleads Guilty to Corruption Charges: Lawmaker's Conviction Is 8th in Abramoff Probe." ... "[Ohio Republican Bob] Ney is the eighth person convicted in the continuing federal investigation into Abramoff's activities. A federal task force that includes a dozen Justice Department prosecutors is investigating Abramoff's dealings with other congressional offices, including those of Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont. [Republican-Montana]) and Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-Calif. [Republican-California]), according to lawyers and witnesses involved in the probe." ... "The Ohio Republican had been a target of the investigation for a year and came under increasing pressure -- first in January with Abramoff's guilty plea and agreement to cooperate in the investigation, then with the guilty plea in May of his former aide Neil G. Volz, who admitted conspiring to corruptly influence the congressman and others. Ney admitted encouraging Volz to violate the one-year ban on lobbying by former staffers." ... "Earlier this year, Ney's committee passed ethics legislation to strip convicted lawmakers of their pensions, but the bill died in the House." -By Susan Schmidt and James V. Grimaldi with contributions by Alice Crites -WashingtonPost

"Standing before Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, Ney pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements. He acknowledged taking money, gifts and favors in return for official actions on behalf of Abramoff and his clients." ... "Three former House GOP aides have already pleaded guilty to corruption charges involving Abramoff, a once powerful lobbyist with especially close ties to top Republicans." ... "The Abramoff fallout has now spread wider, with a Senate Finance Committee report maintaining that five conservative nonprofit groups may have illegally helped the once powerful lobbyist." ... "Most notable are the charges aimed at Americans for Tax Reform, headed by Grover Norquist, an influential adviser to Republicans with close ties to President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove. The organizations cited in the report deny any wrongdoing." ... "Committee investigators said the groups may have violated their tax-exempt status by helping Abramoff and his clients."

Bob Ney of Ohio has agreed to plead guilty to charges of corruption and is not seeking re-election [in 2006]." ...

Ohio - 2006 Election - Bob Ney - Abramoff - Law - "Ney's formal withdrawal sets clearer stage for House race." ... "[Ohio Republican] Rep. Bob Ney's official withdrawal from a southeast Ohio congressional race Monday was more than a procedural formality." ... "It ended a week of intense speculation about how and if the embattled Republican would be replaced on the Nov. 7 [2006 Election] ballot and brought at least some clarity to the legal fight ahead over his hand-picked successor's ability to run in his place." ... "Monday's letter from Ney to the controlling election board in Tuscarawas County, the most populous in the sprawling rural district, formally ends his bid for a seventh term. It also means Republican voters, not the leaders of various party committees, will choose his replacement." ... "When Ney announced his plans to withdraw, he cited the strain of an intensifying corruption investigation that had focused for months on his dealings with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ney denies wrongdoing and has not been charged." -By David Hammer with contributions by John McCarthy -AP via -MercuryNews

"Neil Volz, former chief of staff to U.S. Representative Bob Ney, pleaded guilty in the corruption scandal surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff." ... "The agreement may increase the pressure on Ney, an Ohio Republican who accompanied Abramoff on a golf trip to Scotland in 2002. Papers filed as part of Volz's plea and three others in the Abramoff case referred to ``things of value'' Ney accepted from Abramoff and his team. Ney has denied wrongdoing." ... "Ney, 51, cited the allegations surrounding him in the Abramoff case when he temporarily stepped down in January from his post as chairman of the House Administration Committee, which oversees federal elections and day-to-day House functions such as assigning parking places." ... "Abramoff, 47, was one of Washington's best-connected lobbyists and a major fundraiser for the Republican Party and President George W. Bush.

During the period from January 2000 through April 2004, Volz said Abramoff and his lobbyists gave Ney and members of his staff trips to Lake George in New York state, New Orleans, the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., in 2003, and a weeklong golfing retreat to the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland." ... "In addition, Volz wrote, Abramoff provided the congressman and his staff numerous tickets to concerts and sporting events in the Washington, D.C., area; regular meals and drinks at restaurants including Abramoff's restaurant Signatures, and unreported use of Abramoff's box suites at the MCI Center Arena in Washington and Camden Yards Stadium in Baltimore for political fundraisers for Ney and for candidates and political organizations he supported." -By Pete Yost with contributions by Mark Sherman and David Hammer -AP via -Forbes

"In early 2002, Mr. Volz left his Congressional position to join Mr. Abramoff's lobbying firm.

"When U.S. Rep. Bob Ney assailed the owner of SunCruz Casinos in 2000, it seemed puzzling that an Ohio lawmaker would go out of his way to attack a South Florida businessman who was trying to sell his floating gaming empire." ... "It turns out, according to federal investigators, Ney publicly called SunCruz founder Konstantinos ''Gus'' Boulis a ''bad apple'' in exchange for the company's new owners contributing $10,000 -- in his name -- to a national campaign fund to help elect Republicans to Congress." -By Jay Weaver-Miami/Herald

"Abramoff, known to envious competitors as "Casino Jack" because of his multimillion-dollar lobbying fees from the gambling operations of Indian tribes, wrote to a Texas tribe in June 2002 to say that a member of Congress had "asked if we could help (as in cover) a Scotland golf trip for him and some staff" that summer." ... ""The trip will be quite expensive," Abramoff said in the e-mail, estimating that the bills "would be around $100K or more." He added that in 2000, "We did this for another member - you know who."" ... "Abramoff did not explain why the tribe should pay for the lavish trip or identify the congressmen by name. But a tribe spokesman has since testified to Congress that the 2002 trip was organized for Representative Bob Ney, Republican of Ohio and chairman of the House Administration Committee, and that "you know who" was Tom DeLay, Republican of Texas, the House majority leader and old friend of Abramoff's." ... "Both lawmakers have said they believed that their trips to Britain complied with House travel rules." -By Philip Shenon -NYTimes via -IHT.com
