Emphasis His

It bears repeating here, thanks to R.J. Eskow:
1. Did Jack Abramoff directly give money to Democrats? 2. Did Abramoff direct clients to give money to Democrats?3. Were Democrats aware of any wrongdoing or impliedquid-pro-quo in those donations?

We know the answer to #1 is "no." I still don't know the answer to #2 - I know that Abramoff clients gave money to Democrats, but haven't seen documentation that it was done at his direction. I certainly haven't seen evidence to support #3. If the answer to #3 is no, than the Post has misled its readers, at the very least by implication - and the paper's ombudsman repeated the mis-statements instead of investigating them.
There y'go, Naahm! (At the risk of sounding like Cliff Claven... )
