Bob Ney has announced that he will temporarily step down as chairman of the
House Administration Committee.
“Unfortunately it has become clear to me in recent days that the false
allegations made against me have become a distraction to the important work
of the House Republican Conference and the important work that remains ahead
for the House Administration Committee”

Ney keeps going right in step with Tom Delay when it comes to claiming his
innocence. Unfortunately for Ney there is more evidence emerging for the public
to see how crooked he is, as we learn from the latest issue of
Time
Magazine:
On Oct. 20, 2000, the e-mail records show, Scanlon sent Abramoff
Scanlon’s draft of a statement praising Adam Kidan, a co-owner of SunCruz
Casinos, a Florida gambling-boat company that Abramoff and Kidan had bought
the month before, after a public dispute with the previous owner. Abramoff
and Kidan, who have since pleaded guilty in Florida to fraud in connection
with their financing of the SunCruz purchase, hoped that Ney’s positive
statement would “let people know that SunCruz now was in honest hands,”
according to a source familiar with the case. In an Oct. 23 e-mail, Abramoff
proposed throwing $10,000 at the NRCC in the form of a SunCruz check signed
by Kidan. The money was sent within days, and Ney got credit within the
G.O.P. for raising it. Ney then inserted praise for Kidan into the Oct. 26
Congressional Record.

That is showing Bob Ney could care less about the law, constitution and
people of this country. He is trying to sell his power in office to the highest
bidder. We are suppose to be a democracy but assholes like this have turned it
into an auction.
