OT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ROBERT 'BOB' NEY -- SUSHIHOLIC, GROVELER ... NEXT TARGET OF FBI?
"Sushiholic" Ney Was Rewarded, Seems to Be Next Federal Target.
"Ney, according to the plea agreement, got "a stream of things of
value" from Abramoff and those he represented: a "lavish" golf trip to
St. Andrews, seats in Abramoff's sports boxes, freebie dinners at
Signatures (Ney was a "sushiholic," one eyewitness recalls), and at
least $37,500 in donations to various political-action committees on
his behalf.
Rather than go for Ney immediately, prosecutors appear to be encircling
him, possibly striking plea deals with frightened staffers, themselves
desperate to stay out of jail." [Vanity Fair, April 2006]
Republican Strategist Remembers Ney Groveling.
"[Republican media strategist Monty Warner said] 'I can remember Ney
coming up and groveling, saying how much he enjoyed a golf outing or
skybox or ball game, and really appreciated Jack's support.'" [Vanity
Fair, April 2006]
