Hypocrite Democrat of Corruption #37 - Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN)
Harold Ford, Jr. Says Republican’s Hilleary, Bryant, & Corker
Should Donate "Corrupt Abramoff Money"
Tuesday, January 10, 2006
Congressman Harold Ford Jr. called on U.S. Congressional members Van Hilleary, Ed Bryant and Bob Corker "to give to charity any and all contributions they have ever received from corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates." "Van Hilleary, Bob Corker and Ed Bryant should disclose what Jack Abramoff and his associates gave them over the years and they should donate that money to a charity of their choice immediately", Ford said. In recent days, President Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Tom Delay and other senior members of Congress have either returned or donated Jack Abramoff corrupt money to charity. Van Hilleary, Bob Corker and Ed Bryant should do the same thing. He said Abramoff "is the center of the one of the most egregious lobbying scandal ever. Earlier this week he pleaded guilty to fraud, conspiracy to bribe public officials and tax evasion."

Oh Really Hypocrite and Fraudulent Junior
Let's Review the Case Facts
1....Oops, hypocrite and fraud Harold Ford Jr. "forgot" to disclose to the public they he also received Abramoff Group Scandal (AGS) cash, from four of fourteen Democrats that were Jack Abramoff Group (JAG) lobbyists as follows:
Democrat Edward Ayoob $ 500
Was a key staff member to AGS Dem Harry Reid before joining JAG from '01 - '04
While a key lobbyist with JAG, Ayoob donated $4,000 to Reid, for lobbying client kickbacks,
held a fundraiser for Reid at JAG's law offices/employer being Greenberg Traurig (GT),
and GT also donated $19,941 to Sen. Reid - his 18th single largest donor.
100% of Ayoob's $49,000+ donations were to Dem U.S. Congress members, most AGS involved.
Ayoob left Greenberg Traurig in order to not be forced to resign, due to his AGS involvement.
From '97 - '98, Edward Ayoob was the Assistant Finance Director for Harry Reid's PAC,
"Friends for Harry Reid", and on the PAC's payroll. During that time Reid's PAC was FEC
fined for improper payroll accounting involving $316,737 in payroll expenditures.
At 01.10.06, per a highly knowledgeable source, Ayoob is under DOJ criminal investigation for
his AGS role, along with Sen. Harry Reid and the law firm of Greenberg Traurig. Sen. Reid has
significant AGS involvement.
Democrat Stephanie Leger Short $ 250
Leger Short was a key Legislative staff member to AGS Dem John Breaux before joining JAG,
'01 - '04, at the law firm of Greenberg Traurig (GT). GT forced Leger Short to resign 04.30.04,
due to her role in the AGS.
Leger Short's husband is a key Legislative staff member to AGS Dem Byron Dorgan.
While working as an JAG lobbyist, Leger Short made a donation to Byron Dorgan.
100% of Legar Short's political donations were to Democrat U.S. Congressional Members.
Leger Short is now a key DC staff member to LA Dem Gov Kathleen Babineaux Blanco.
At 01.10.06, per a highly knowledgeable source, Leger Short is currently under DOJ criminal investigation
for her AGS role. The DOJ investigation also includes Dem Byron Dorgan and Dem ex-Sen ('04)
John Breaux. Both Congressmen had significant AGS involvement.
Democrat Michael D. Smith $2,223
Smith's wife is Legislative Director for AGS Dem Tom Harkin.
JAG lobbyist Smith personally assisted Tom Harkin write a letter, in behalf of an JAG client, for
specific donation kickbacks to Harkin.
As a JAG lobbyist, Smith donated over $173,000, 100% to Top U.S. Dem Congressional members,
for JAG client influence and political favors/kickbacks, including Harkin, Reid, Dorgan ($14,500),
Murray, Cantwell, Durbin, H. Clinton, and many more Dems, including Harold Ford. Smith's
JAG member donations, at Greenberg Traurig, were #1. 2nd was Abramoff at $147,420 (100% Repubs)
Smith also donated to a top George Soros organization, America Coming Together.
JAG insiders stated Smith was the Democrat alter-ego to Republican Jack Abramoff.
At 01.10.06, per a highly knowledgeable source, Smith is under DOJ criminal investigation
for his AGS role. Dem Tom Harkin, who received significant AGS donations, is also under
current DOJ investigation.
Like Stephanie Leger Short, Smith was forced to resign by GT. Like Abramoff and Scanlon,
Leger Short and Smith are being investigated by the DOJ, not only for Congressional members bribery
and kickbacks, but also JAG client over-billing and submitting fraudulent billing statements.
Democrat Alan Slomowitz $1,000
While a lobbyist for JAG, 100% of Slomowitz $37,000+ donations were to Democrats, many tied
to JAG lobbying clients.
Currently investigating Dem Congressman ties, and if under DOJ investigation - TLG
Total Received AGS Cash by Dem hypocrite Harold Ford, Jr.: $3,973
2....Oops, fraud Dem Harold Ford Jr. "forgot" to tell the public that 3 of 4 JAG members that donated to him are under DOJ criminal investigation for their roles in the JAG scandal. All four JAG donors to Ford also significantly contributed to numerous other Dem Congressional members involved in this scandal.
3....Ford, nor his Dem hypocrite colleagues, will talk about the significant cash that Dem Ford also receives from fraudulent and criminal Soros-Shadow Party organizations. Mums the word for hypocrite Democrats who are significantly backed by Soros~Shadow Party Mob members who are admitted Marxists, Socialists, Communists, Atheists, Homosexuals, and other ultra liberal and radical scum, that don't represent our American culture, values system, or majority views.
