The noose is tightening around Tom Feeney. Remember that he strongly denied any relationship with Jack Abramoff and firmly denied that anyone knew the Scotland golf trip was tied to Abramoff. Well, once again, it turns out that was a lie:
The email was sent to Feeney's Executive Assistant as well as to Mark Zachares, the guy who just plead guilty to this conspiracy.But an e-mail obtained by the St. Petersburg Times on Wednesday shows that Abramoff's office sent specific instructions on how to report the trip expenses to a handful of people, including Feeney's congressional assistant.
The e-mail from Holly Bowers, Abramoff's then-assistant, instructs recipients to say a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, paid for the trip at a cost of $5,643 per person.
Oops! Wonder what Feeney will say now.
