Another fruitful avenue of Senate inquiry into the machinations of Jack Abramoff would be to take a look at an organization called Toward Tradition, headed by one Rabbi Daniel Lapin, an emigre from South Africa. Both he and his brother, another rabbi named David Lapin, seem to have some connection with Abramoff. It seems David Lapin received a million dollar contract from the Abramoff machine for some nebulous "consulting" with the authorities on Guam. It seems there was an effort to exempt Guam from U.S. labor laws to benefit the companies that do business there, and apparently Abramoff was the money man in the operation. I bet interesting information could be unearthed by subpoenaing and questioning the Lapin brothers.
