Jack Abramoff
As a result, I've been portrayed as a cynical barbarian preying on the very clients I was charged to defend.
Jack Abramoff
I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.
Jack Abramoff
I can't vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.
Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
