Quote
When we would become friendly with an office and they were important to us, and the chief of staff was a competent person, I would say or my staff would say to him or her at some point, ‘You know, when you’re done working on the Hill, we’d very much like you to consider coming to work for us.’ Now the moment I said that to them or any of our staff said that to ’em, that was it. We owned them.
Former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, now released from prison, explaining how he commonly dangled jobs to win favors from congressional staffers. He told CBS “60 Minutes” that he’s thinking of writing a book: “The Idiot’s Guide to Buying a Congressman.”
