Reid Not A Member of Team Abramoff

Daily Kos: The Reid Smear: AP, Why is this so hard to understand?:

"In his statement, Platt sought to minimize the extent of his lobbying of Reid's office on behalf of Abramoff, saying he never considered himself 'part of Team Abramoff.' Abramoff has pleaded guilty in a fraud and bribery case.

'These contacts were incidental, insofar as I simply bumped into Reid staffers at Democratic Party functions or occurred incidental to discussions regarding my clients, not Abramoff's,' Platt said. 'Any contacts that I may have had in regard to Abramoff's tribal clients would have been similarly incidental.'"
