Want more examples of how corrupt the past eight years have been? The Hill reports that Trevor Blackmann, former aide to Kit Bond and Roy Blunt, has pled guilty to accepting $$$ from Jack Abramoff in return for using his influence with his employers. What specifically did Abramoff get in return? Results, at least in regard to Senator Bond:
In return, Blackann obtained a letter of support from Bond for someone seeking a political appointment to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, court documents allege.
Additionally, according to the AP:
Blackann said he pushed … officials actions that would be beneficial to Equipment Rental Co., a construction rental company. Blackann worked for Blunt, R-Mo., from 1998-2001 and Bond, R-Mo., from 2001-2005.
Even more interesting:
He also said that the things he is pleading to “does not include all of the facts known to me concerning criminal activity in which I and/or others engaged.”
What could that possibly mean?
