TPM on Abramoff and Democrats

Josh Marshall lays the facts out regarding whether or not Democrats are involved in the Abramoff scandal, the answer of course is no.

Sure, some Democrats may have gotten donations from groups Abramoff lobbied for, but that’s more “tainted-money” then the money this scandal is concerned with. Sen. Dorgan received tainted money, but that’s because he represents Indian tribes as part of his State, and has received donations from them for years, the fact that Abramoff may have also worked for that tribe has nothing to do with the corruption case.

The case instead as blogged on earlier is regarding quid-quo-pro favors, and doesn’t pertain to the natural day to day function on Capitol Hill.
