So Jack Abramoff would fly members of Congress, congressional leaders, to Scotland to play golf. CHELLIE PINGREE: Well, actually, I think you have done a very good job of talking about what the current concerns are, both the golfing trip to Scotland and the close ties to the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is also being investigated, and the South Korea trip, which perhaps was paid for by a foreign agent, which would have been illegal. CHELLIE PINGREE: Thank you. CHELLIE PINGREE: Well, again, there is an investigation ongoing of Jack Abramoff, who’s accused of basically bilking Indian tribes of millions of dollars and then handing much of that out in political money. And by the way, it caught us so much by surprise, because, you know, the entire reform community-and by "reform community," I’m including conservative groups, like Judicial Watch, National Taxpayers Association; progressive groups, like Public Citizen, Common Cause; nonpartisan groups, like League of Women Voters.

It’s being orchestrated by liberal groups who do not agree at all with Tom DeLay’s conservative agenda, groups like Common Cause and many of the liberal media, including The Washington Post and The New York Times have a vendetta, I believe, against Tom DeLay. You can gift your dad personalised birthday gifts like personalised dad of the year award, dad mug and cookie tin, button corner me and my dad photo frame, or a personalised dad golf ball. Free; $15 for a souvenir mug. We have all, every session, got together to try to make sure that OCE would be reauthorized with each session. That’s one of the reasons that liberals, I think, have their claws out for him. And one of the enormous challenges right now is - kind of the irony here is the Republican leadership of the House, including the extremely powerful majority leader, have basically dismantled the ethics process. So, there’s sort of an irony here. So there’s actually no way to currently investigate this, except for a Justice Department or outside criminal investigation.

Gifts are the most excellent way to wonderful and make reminiscence of any occasions from anniversaries, birthdays, festivals and other occasions in life. This is one of the most sentimental birthday gifts for friends. Many companies who provide promotional and personalised taylormade golf balls gifts offer free delivery, meaning your unique, practical gift will have no extra costs, making it great value for money. You may want to consider giving them a nice box pen set or something similar to show that you value their business or investments. Again, I think if there was a mistake made here, which there may have been, it wasn’t Tom DeLay’s fault. At the same time, this may generate income to fund anti-poaching activities, create jobs for local people, discourage poachers and encourage private rhino owners to conserve rhinos. We were a little concerned this time, because we had a new figure in there-Paul Ryan-and we did not know where Paul Ryan was going to come out on this. I understand that Paul Ryan and the Republican leadership would perceive this as being negative publicity for them. Here you have these very complicated questions being asked about the ties both to the two things you mentioned, and then the continuing investigation of TRMPAC, which the Ethics Commission earlier, when it was still functioning, decided to set aside waiting to see if there were indictments in that case.

Trump's detailed infrastructure proposals still are not out, but early suggestions about tax credits to corporations that supply such infrastructure are problematic. And he’s right, that he has not been convicted or proven to be in violation of any House rules yet, and yet you’ve got a lot people who want to throw him out, just based on allegations. Isn’t it possible that, under enormous pressure, as people wake up to what has taken place, that the Republicans might not vote this forward in the full House? If you know a golfer that doesn’t use club headcovers to protect their golf clubs or perhaps the need new ones this might be a good gift idea for them to purchase for the holidays. And secondly, it takes away the public disclosures of any type of investigation or complaint that OCE might be-might be dealing with. So, about two weeks ago, all our groups submitted a letter to Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi pointing out how valuable OCE is and asking that it be reauthorized. CRAIG HOLMAN: It defeats the entire purpose and operations of OCE. CRAIG HOLMAN: Well, you know, I’ve got to find out more about Paul Ryan’s stance. But can you explain why even Paul Ryan and Congressman McCarthy, the majority leader and the House speaker, have opposed this?
