"So I knew that when you start seeing little signs of trouble?a few admonishments from the ethics committee, a gift or a trip that a Congressman shouldn't have taken?you start looking for a pattern. We were the first to reveal aspects of the crucial role that Ed Buckham (Tom DeLay's former chief of staff and pastor) played hooking up Abramoff with Tom DeLay's office. We found...

He was very aware that his Poor People's Campaign may not win, but [he felt] it's the direction I want to point toward and it is nonviolent and I may not get there with you, which of course accounts for the title [of the book]-all my titles come out of Exodus-like Moses, he got right...
