In regards to our JAG Scandal: "Dems of Corruption" Investigation, we now have 14 Democrat Lobbyists, and three secondary Firm partners, that worked directly for/with Jack Abramoff's Lobbyist Group. Six JAG Democrat members are already under serious DOJ criminal investigation, which is opening up investigations on key Democrat U.S. congressional members.
Further, the detailed list we posted last month reflecting $1.5 million Abramoff Group tied cash going to hypocrite Democrats, has now risen to $2.4 million, to-date. We should be able to post key info from our investigation at the end of January.
There is a key word and that word is "Group". Jack Abramoff ran a very powerful DC Lobbying Group, from 1994 - 2004, within two top and powerful U.S. law firms being Preston, Gates, Ellis LLP (PGE), and then Greenberg Traurig LLP (GT). JAG's lobbyist size and power became very large over the years. While the mindless MSM focuses on Abramoff, Scanlon and Kidan, the real focus should be (and is the DOJ's focus) Abramoff's Lobbyist Group, that were significantly involved in this scandal with numerous U.S. Congressional members on "both sides of the isle".
About the two Firms JAG worked for: - - The firm of William H. Gates Sr., father of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, merged with Preston in 1990. The later old line Seattle firm started when Harold Preston relocated to Seattle from Iowa in 1883 and began practicing law. Jim Ellis joined Preston in 1949. Members of JAG were registered lobbyists for Microsoft. During the 90's PGE became a Top 10 lobbying Firm based on lobbying gross revenue. Much of their lobbying success and revenue was due to the success of JAG.
Greenberg Traurig LLP is a relative "new" Firm, founded in 1967 in Miami by Mel Greenberg and two attorneys. Today GT is an international, full-service law firm with 1,500 attorneys and governmental professionals in The Americas, Europe and Asia. The firm is eighth on The National Law Journal's NLJ 250 listing of the largest law firms in the U.S. and ninth among The American Lawyer's Am Law 100, based on number of lawyers. Approximately 60% of the Firm's political PAC, and overall individual US members, political donations goes to Democrats. GT wanted JAG, and money lured them away (anything they wanted per Firm insiders) from PGE in late 2000. One more thing, let's just say I know my way around the GT Miami office quite well.

Yes, but TN is not necessarily opposed to hypocrisy in its potential senators.
