Reid Aided Ambramoff Clients

Breitbart reports Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid wrote at least four letters helpful to Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, and the senator's staff regularly had contact with the disgraced lobbyist's team about legislation affecting other clients.
The Senate Minority Leader even refuses to give back (or donate to chairity) the money he was paid to lobby in their behalf. It shows the double standard: if Republicans do it, it is wrong, but if Democrats do the same thing, there is nothing wrong with it.
The activities _ detailed in billing records and correspondence obtained by The Associated Press _ are far more extensive than previously disclosed. They occurred over three years as Reid collected nearly $68,000 in donations from Abramoff's firm, lobbying partners and clients.
