7. Sounds like a crime

Lobbyist Sought $9 Million to Set Bush Meeting (New York Times)

The lobbyist Jack Abramoff asked for $9 million in 2003 from the president of a West African nation to arrange a meeting with President Bush and directed his fees to a Maryland company now under federal scrutiny, according to newly disclosed documents.

...There has been no evidence in the public record that Mr. Abramoff had any role in organizing the meeting or that he received any money or had a signed contract with Gabon.

...Mr. Abramoff and his colleagues drew up a draft contract that called for $9 million in fees to be paid to GrassRoots Interactive, the small Maryland lobbying company that his former colleagues say he controlled. Documents, including copies of canceled checks, show that millions of dollars flowed through the company's accounts in 2003, the year it was created, including at least $2.3 million to a California consulting firm that used the same address as the law office of Mr. Abramoff's brother, Robert. A separate check for $400,000 was made out to Kay Gold, another Abramoff family company.

On whose authority would Abramoff be able to make such an offer and ask for so much money--his buddy Tom DeLay's? Did he make the offer as an official representative of Gabon, or of the Bush White House? That doesn't sound like something a private citizen should be able to. Has a crime been committed here?
