More quotes by Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff
Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can't be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can't be the agent of causing someone to go to prison.

Jack Abramoff
I don't pay much attention to sports.
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 think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.
Jack Abramoff
Well, I don't think most Americans are playing the super-PAC game. I think what you have is elites on both sides playing the super-PAC game.
Jack Abramoff
Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.
Jack Abramoff
Congress doesn't hate Congress.
Jack Abramoff
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?
Jack Abramoff
One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.
Jack Abramoff
I'm not trying to become popular.
