7. None, that story has already been debunked
For those who were swallowing the anonymous sourced story from ABC.

Abramoff in with Dems? Former Colleagues Say No

"Jack has not met eight Democrats in Washington," one lobbyist told us.

He and others spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they did not want further publicity connecting them to Abramoff. Also, it should be noted that the lobbyists we spoke with continue to rely on access to lawmakers like Reid.

Ron Platt, a Democratic lobbyist who worked for a time with Abramoff on behalf of several clients and managed relations (such as they were) with Reid and other Democrats, said, "It's beyond my belief that he would have trusted a Democratic senator or house member."

"Jack Abramoff would never let any Democratic lobbyist, even on his team, manage one of his client matters," said Platt.
