Who specifically took a bribe? That is what I'm missing. So far I've only seen donations reported.

(I must be especailly dumb this Friday)

Don't you remember? It is not the evidence that is important but the seriousness of the charge.

Abramoff has claimed that sixty Congressman and Senators took bribes.

To prove that DOJ would need to establish that specific actions were taken in exchange for contributions or other benefits.

Those cases have not yet been presented to a grand jury but they will be.

Supposedly Abramoff will have evidence of the following form:

Emails to staff member(s) of Congresscritter A establishing proposed quid pro quo

Contribution to Congresscritter A

Action taken by Congresscritter A

Thank you contribution to Congresscritter A

There are other aspects of these cases but that is the basic outline.

Do not underestimate Abramoff.

I think this story has legs and a lot of pols from both parties could be wearing orange by this time next year.
