Denny Hastert (R-IL) has his problems, along with all the other rascals that accepted Abramoff-tainted fundage. One of the more prominent names on the list is Senator Harry Ried, (D-NV). He accepted tribal money and claims he doesn’t know Abramoff from Adam.

Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader in the Senate, and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) also were among recipients of large contributions from tribes represented by Abramoff. Asked about Abramoff, Reid told the Las Vegas Sun, “I don’t know him. I don’t want to know him. I know nothing about it other than what I read in the newspaper. … This is a Republican scandal.”
No, Harry, it’s just a SCANDAL. The more you deny it, the worse it looks. If you accepted money from tribal representatives that were clients of Abramoff’s, it’s tainted, and you have to give it back or donate it to a charity.
