of the Fifth Amendments,

I respectfully declined

to answer the question.

These tribe, was never told about

the secret scheme that allowed

Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon

to take over 40 million dollars

for services dubiously rendered.

Senator, I respectfully invoked

the privileges as stated.

You can continued dodging

questions Mr. Abramoff,

yet you ripped of my

fellow native Americans.

You referred to them as

"monkeys" and "troglodytes"...

Senator, I respectfully invoked

the privileges as stated.

This is the most

extraordinarily pattern of

abuse and criminal conduct that has been

before this Committee the

entire 18 years I've served here.

Mr. Abramoff, you've proven

yourself to be callous.

And to only have been,

all about the money.

Do you not feel any shame?

Senator, I respectfully invoked

the privileges as stated.

All this account of unscrupulous

men are sadly for me,

the tale we hear today is nought.

What sets this tale apart, what makes

it truly extraordinarily is the extent

and degree of the apparent

exploitation and deceit.

Mr. Abramoff, have you

nothing to say for yourself?

Senator, I respectfully

invoked the privileges as...

No.

Jack!

No, I no longer wish

-to invoke the privileges.

-Jack!

I have something to say and

-I'm gonna say it.

-Jack!

-No, no, no! In fact,

-Jack, just be quiet!

Jack, what are you doing?

-if we want to talk

all about the money,

why don't we start with the

four, five thousand dollars checks

I personally handed to Senator Jarvis

for his re-election campaign.

And we know what that money was

all about, don't we, Senator.

Or how about you, Senator

Burman... I donated $30,000

to influence your vote

to keep the Marianas

opened for business, remember?

What about you, Senator McCain...

You should be sitting in the seat

that I'm sitting in right now.

For years, you've taken

tens of thousands of dollars

from lobbyists just like me

representing competing Indian tribes

who wanted to open up their own casinos

that would have shut my clients down.

-Sir, you're out of order.

-This man...

this son of a b*tch is guilty.

And if he is allowed to go free,

then there's something

really wrong going on here.

Sir, you're out of order. Out of order.

You're out of order.

You're out of order.

You're all out of order.

This whole Senate

hearing is out of order.

Seize him!

I've got a whole panel of

Senators who loved to take money

from anybody who's got

a f***ing bank account.

And you call me a con Jew?

F***ing hypocrites!

You f***ing hypocrites!

You ought to stand for something.

You should protect people.

Hold on... hold on. I've just

completed my opening statement.

Mr. Abramoff?

Mr. Abramoff?

Senator, I respectfully invoked

the privileges as stated.

And I say to you, Mr.

Abramoff; Shame on you!

Who the hell are you

trying to look like?

Who the hell are you

trying to look like?

Look, it's Michael Corleone!

Hey, Corleone!

You are a thief and a racist buff.

We pray for you, Jack Abramoff!

Mr. President, at the end of

the day, I was vilified as Satan

and ordered to pay restitution of more

than 21 million dollars

to the Indian tribes

as well as 1.7 million to the IRS.

Adam Kidan was sentenced

in Florida in March 2006

to six years in prison for conspiracy

and fraud in the purchase of the

Sunsail casino gambling fleet.

Bob Ney was sentenced in January

for allegedly taking bribes from me.

In 2005, Anthony Muscatello

and Anthony Ferrari

were charged with the

murder of Gus Boulis.

In 2006, Tom Delay stepped

down as Majority Leader

and resigned his seat in Congress

after being indictment

by a Texas grand jury.

In 2009, he appeared in the ABC

hit show 'Dancing with the Stars'.

My two old buds, Grover and Ralph...

they never face charges of any kind.

And poor Kevin Ring,

well... he's looking at

five years in federal prison.

As for Mike, well he's still free

and he has taken up work

as a Hobart beach lifeguard

as he continued to stay out of jail

while cooperating

with the investigators.

It's like starring in our own movie.

Sorry, I was just trying

to lighten the mood.

Make bail, huh?

Yeah, so far. Looks like...

Thanks for coming, Jack.

Pam would be furious if she knows

that I was even talking to you.

We still friends, right?

"I know it was you, Fredo."

"You broke my heart.

Right... you broke my heart."

Or as Harry Truman once said;

"You want a friend in Washington D.C..."

"... get a dog."

Jack, you have no idea how much

pressure they put on me, at Justice.

I'm sorry, bro!

It's okay. My lawyer tells me you

only beat me to it by about 2 minutes.

The student becomes the master.

Your serve.

You're a good kid, Mike.

I'll miss you.

I was sentenced to six years

at a federal correctional

institution in Cumberland, Maryland.

Pam and the kids visit me on weekends.

I spend the rest of my time

leading a Jewish prayer group.

And teaching a screen writing

class to my fellow inmates.

Occasionally I'll find

time to throw darts at the

photograph of George W. Bush.

If it wasn't for all the money

I help poured into Florida,

that idiot would never have left Texas

and I think you'd agreed,

we all will be better for it.

And despite the fact that the

Justice Department recommended

my sentence be reduced by 2 years,

for fully cooperation

with the investigators...

... on his last day in office,

Bush refused to even considered.

You see to this day, I remained

Republicans worst nightmare.

Not because I'm an icon to an era

most people would prefer to forget

but because once I'm out of here,

God has given me a new mission...

to remind the world what a

bunch of hypocrites they all are.

You see, Mr. President; It's

time to think out of the box.

I know it's a moonshot, but

in writing you this letter...

to a former president who understand

very well how the game is play,

I hope you might see my point of view,

and considered making an

appeal to the right Democrats,

who might find it useful to help me,

so in turn, I can help all of you.

Time's up, Jack!

Why... because my name is Jack Abramoff

and I worked out everyday.
