In the following voicemail recording, Holmes Norton seeks a campaign contribution from the lobbyist and even mentions that she hadn’t previously asked for a donation. Such is the pressure Speaker Pelosi has placed on the members. But, it is the content of Holmes Norton’s message that is interesting. (Note: the first few seconds of the recording, where the name of the lobbyist is said by Holmes Norton, have been redacted by the source.)

All 535 of them do this every day. Now you know what the problem is when government has so much power, company profits have to be sent to them or they will pass laws putting you out of business.

She has something in common with THE ONE... she likes to use the “um”...”uh”...”umm”. soundtrack...

Really makers her sound smart! Just like making illegal solicitations for campaign cash... So bright.

Unfortunately, I know “DC Voters, both dead and alive”...and they are solidly in favor of crooked politicians. After all, they re-elected a certain Mayor even after being busted with hookers and enough cocaine to give the entire state of NY a buzz....

And we can rest assured - that congress, even if turned back over to the Repubs in November, will do nothing about this obvious crooked politician.

Status Quo (which is what the Repubs are likely to bring with them).

Disgust? Of course. Anger. Absolutely. Shocked? Nawww...it’s been years since I could be shocked by the actions of “a senior member of Congress.”

Isn’t she just a delegate, as she represents DC, which is not a state?

Thanks. I found it but it didn't have a label to show it was the audio.
