If you select "Donations by Donor" and then "Abramoff, Jack and Pamela", donations to Democrats are completely absent. Uh, Justin…you may want to look at that again.

Look to this post from my blog (<a><strong>But He Gave Money To The Dems too!... oh, never mind </strong></a>), which has a link to a site (NewsMeat) that allows for a full search of the federal campaign donation database. Bear in mind that these donations are the *legal* ones that Abramoff himself gave, not any "under the table" cash or donations that he told his clients to give to candidates and PACs. The under-the-table (what we In Real Life call "bribes") and directed donations are another kettle of fish entirely. ANd there *will* be fallout over those directed donations. However, just how candid Jackie A is will determine if the plea-bargin jailtime he spends is served concurrently or consequtivly (a difference of serving either 10 years or 17 years...) Cindy:
