More on Republican slush funds

This is an example of how money has been flowing around in the Republican Party. Jack Abramoff has been a lobbyist and slush fund manager, from which he made a great deal of money. However, he was supporting a private Jewish school and ran short of money, so he apparenlty got creative and a bit reckless, so he has been caught. I have no doubt that there are others who have been more careful.

Billon has the story.

Note the intermediate steps on the transfer of funds to Ralph Reed. Those have no purpose other than obscuring the source of the funds from the recipient.

Notice how eLottery had hired Abramoff to lobby against the bill to prevent on-line lotteries, and yet he has eLottery send the check to Sheldon's Traditional Values Coalition (TVC). TVC was trying to get the bill passed.
