Reed, Norquist subpoenaed in Indian gambling probe


Filed by RAW STORY | @ 2:33 am


Organizations headed by two of the best-known figures in conservative political circles, Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist, have been subpoenaed by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee in its long-running probe of GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the paid-restricted Roll Call reveals Thursday. Excerpts from John Bresnahan and Paul Kane's article appear below.


The committee is planning to hold its next hearing in the investigation in late June. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, one of Abramoff’s former clients, is expected to be the focus of that hearing, according to sources close to the investigation.

Americans for Tax Reform, for which Norquist serves as president, is refusing to disclose its donor list to the Senate committee, said two officials with the group. Reed’s firm, Century Strategies, is complying with the subpoena. Senate investigators are seeking four years’ worth of records detailing Century Strategies’ business dealings with Abramoff and GOP political consultant Michael Scanlon and entities under their control, said several sources familiar with the issue.

10. One of the groups that Norquists lobbies for

is being investigated to see if they are funding "Terrorists" activities, it's been going on for awhile. I'd love to see Grover frog marched.

18. Heck, I want him on bread and water.

But I'll settle for highly uncomfortable cross-examination. :-)

[calimary]

9. Not just norquist but reed, too. Oh, Dear God, be still my heart!

Don't get too excited yet. These reptiles can slither out of the heat pretty skillfully.

[librechik]

12. ditto! The regenerating head of the hydra

[KoKo]

[callous taoboy]

15. Didn't he drown in a bathtub or something?

[WhiteTara]

22. maybe this will be his Waterloo

and that bathtub will make him very small.

[blm]

7. I told several newspapers about this story last summer. Noone did a damn

thing about it because they were too busy protecting Bush and his team from any unpleasant stories that conflicted with the campaign's "good Christian" image BULLSHIT when they are the biggest bunch of cutthroats, crooks and thieves that ever took office.

[stanwyck]

11. It's karma.

we're going to see this happening every day to the Bushies. Their bad deeds are finally illuminated. It just takes time.
Patience, friends.
They'll all be shown for what they are.

[Az_lefty]

14. I love it that that lying little demon Reed is being subpoenaed

he's no Christian. Not that I hold out any hope that a republican dominated committee will find any wrong doing.

[Octafish]

19. Christian? Reed's not even human.

Super-hypocrite.



The guy's as soulless as a lizard.

[Up2Late]

16. I bet Ralph Reed will cry when pushed

:cry:When does this start? I need to clear my calender (not really, it's very clear). :evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

17. Let me guess, Norquist will now call the ACLU

to help him in his refusal to disclose the donor list...

[LeftofU]

21. LOL...n/t

[LeftofU]

20. How many of these money guys do they have out there?

I know these two are old hats but everywhere I look I see these fascist thugs. I wonder how many are just opportunist and how many are really connected to the BFEE?
