4. Looks like he is in on the other scandal too. Delay and the Mariana Is's

From the same article: The donations to Burns included money directly from Abramoff and a key garment company executive in the Marianas. The executive was part of the coalition paying Abramoff's firm to fend off stronger U.S. regulations on the Pacific islands.

That as we all know is the Delay scandel involving also the replacing of a judge(was this it?)not helpful to Delay and his sweat shops out there.
This first link is very informative.
