ABC News: Lobbyist's Credit Card Bill Outs DeLay Trip: "March 2, 2006
The paper trail seems so obvious it makes you wonder whether anyone ever worried about getting caught. When Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and his wife flew from Houston to a golf resort in Scotland in June 2000, the first-class airfare cost $14,001, a big-ticket item for a public servant. But someone else paid.
The American Express bills of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in January, show he footed the bill for the tickets, in an apparent violation of House ethics rules.
DeLay's attorney told The Washington Post last year that DeLay was unaware of the 'logistics' of bill payments and did not believe Abramoff paid for the tickets. "
Da-Nile is a river... denial is The Hammer and Happy Jack.
