Track voting and evaluation of  "moderate" "Rank and File Republican" Tom Davis  www.govtrack.us/congress.

Vanity Fair

Jack Abramoff:  Any important Republican who comes out and says they didn't know me is almost certainly lying," he says. Such lies are not just, well, lies, but dumb to boot, he adds, for, as his own humiliations suggest, old e-mails never die; they just sit on hard drives, waiting to be subpoenaed and then to be leaked to the press. "This is not an age when you can run away from facts," he declares. "I had to deal with my records, and others will have to deal with theirs."

When will Jack Abramoff's list of co-conspirators come out? How can Tom Davis avoid being on it?

Tom Davis won't reveal the names of clients who hired ICG, his wife's firm, so they can get a favorable hearing like the ones described by the Boston Globe, or so the money might persuade Davis to allow them to avoid a hearing altogether.

The Department of Homeland Security officials were so distraught with the forced contracts that the DHS hired its own auditor to report on the matter. According to the Post:

The assessment underscores complaints by department auditors and outside experts that procurement officials persistently neglected contracting responsibilities as they spent billions of dollars after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks -- much of it on security systems that do not work as planned.

"This strongly suggests that we're buying the wrong stuff, the wrong way, possibly from the wrong contractors, and failing to check before, during or after," said Charles Tiefer, an expert on government contracting who teaches at the University of Baltimore School of Law.

The confidential report, delivered to department officials in March, focused on spending in fiscal 2005 by the Office of Procurement Operations. During that period, nearly $17.5 billion was spent department-wide on contracts for a variety of goods and services, including security at airports and borders, radiation-detection monitors, and information technology consultants. 

The expose, by the same two Post reporters who wrote about ICG in June, is called “Report Finds DHS Lax on Contracting Procedures,” By Robert O'Harrow Jr. and Scott Higham, Staff Writers, Wednesday, November 22, 2006; Page A01
