TPM Reader HR comments on the post below ...

The thing about Harry Reid you didn't mention was- he represents Nevada. Thus both he and John Ensign are largely off the hook, and either Abramoff is an idiot for forking out to guys who are never going to back competition to Las Vegas in the first place, or Abramoff is a pretty sharp con man for figuring that for $5000 per head- pocket change for him- he could tell his clients that he'd also influenced those two votes, and charge them for it. Your pick.

William Jefferson, on the other hand, from all that I can gather needs to go down now.

Sounds about right to me.
