The nation's most scandalized lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, was set up for criminal prosecution on trumped up charges. As Lynched! documents, the scandal was conceived by a cabal of lobbyists close to Sen. John McCain, who conspired with tribal dissidents and the Washington Post to leak false allegations against him into the media, which were then promoted throughout the country with the assistance of PR firms. The scheme played out in the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, where McCain held all the levers of power. Abramoff was ultimately prosecuted under ambiguous honest services fraud statutes, which have since been declared unconstitutional. As the author reveals, Abramoff was innocent on every single count. Full coverage of the scandal, how it was created and driven by special interests, along with the truth of what was going on behind the scenes, is provided in this groundbreaking book.
