Abramoff Crony Proposes ‘Community Service’ With Lobbyist Group In Lieu Of Prison Sentence

griless.gif In March, J. Steven Griles, formerly the no. 2 official at the Interior Department, pleaded guilty to “lying to the Senate about his relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.” Griles asked the lobbyist “for many favors for close female friends and in exchange helped Abramoff’s clients at the government agency.”

As part of Griles’s plea, he is supposed to receive “10 months — five months in jail and five months in a halfway house or in home detention.” His lawyers are now arguing that Griles should receive no prison time and instead be allowed to perform “community service.”

But one of the two organizations he wants to do “community service” for — the American Recreation Coalition (ARC) — is actually a major lobbying firm that apparently benefited under Griles’ tenure in the Bush administration. ARC leads the “Wonderful Outdoor World” (WOW) program, which has close ties to various federal agencies and the Walt Disney Co. Griles helped ARC set up WOW during his tenure at the Interior Department. Greenwire reports:

In 2003, Interior, U.S. EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the American Recreation Coalition and Disney signed a memorandum of understanding, agreeing to “work together in partnership on issues of common interest and to jointly plan and implement mutually beneficial programs and activities.”

As deputy secretary at the time, Griles directly oversaw the four Interior agencies who signed the document.

The National Park Service is a current sponsor of Wonderful Outdoor World, as are the Forest Service, Disney, the Coleman Co. and others, but WOW is spearheaded by the American Recreation Coalition, an organization that promotes access for recreation on public lands.

In addition to approving the WOW program, POGO Blog points out that Griles spoke at an ARC event in 2003 and partied with ARC president Derrick Crandall in 2004. Additionally, Crandall wrote to the judge in support of Griles, admitting that he “championed” ARC’s causes while at the Interior Department.

In his “community service” role with WOW, Griles “would raise money, develop new public and private partnerships and conduct outreach to the government and media.” Bottom line: Griles is asking that his punishment be to perform the same activities that landed him in jail.

Digg It!

    RoboTroll 3100 reports:

    Griles’ conviction was the result of:

    a) “Partisan Show Trialâ„¢”

    b) Out-of-Control Prosecutorâ„¢

    c) The Criminalization of Politicsâ„¢

    (select one of the above) and he deserves to be fully pardoned by the President. Since he is a Republican, he would probably perform community service for the lobbying group out of the goodness of his heart, anyway.

    As long as that “community” is somewhere in Iraq, or Afghanistan, I have no problems w/ this at all.

    Griles like all of these other scum-bag political operatives should go to prison for several years, serving time in the general population just like any other scum-bag.

  40. The RNC Troll Dept says:

    According to all of our calculations, the onboard batteries in CompTROLLER V-1 should have run out of juice near the end of last week. We at the Republican National Committee hoped that would be the end of it, that this unit would no longer embarrass us with its flawed reasoning and outlandish pronouncements.

    Unfortunately, it seems to have more lives than Karl Rove’s emails.

    A field investigation has revealed that CT V-1’s batteries have been kept at full charge by Al-Qaeda operatives for the last three weeks.

    Al-Qaeda believes that keeping CT V-1 online is an effective weapon against George W. Bush. A Quinnipiac source revealed that each post from CT V-1 drives down support for the President and his agenda by 0.0255% and the terrorists want to take advantage of every percentage point swing they can manage.

    Therefore, be it known that if you respond to CT V-1 in any way — heck, if you just READ what CT V-1 posts, you’re helping the terrorists.

    Thank you.

    You’re exactly right. The fact that Saddam was hostile to Al-Qaeda but we told America otherwise is immaterial, since we’re now we’re there and building the most bodaciously awesome embassy ever and Iraqi oil revenue is paying for the war and and all the big-screen TVs in the green zone. So we couldn’t agree with you more, at least on this one point.

    But we’d prefer if you didn’t draw attention to the fact that we sold the war on a falsehood. We know that, you being Al-Qaeda and all, you probably will do as much as you can to damage our message, but all we can do is ask — at least as long as our “field techs” haven’t tracked you down yet.

    Well, America brought justice to Sadaam, now he’s in a grave. Nobody needed to “sell” anything to anyone. Sadaam was a mass murderer. General knowledge there, useless loon.

    So, when are we going to put his accomplices on trial… you know, Rummy, BigDickâ„¢…

    Better believe it. On leftist blogs, I would see the most ridiculous outrage. Made me cringe at its existence, really.

    American families need to protect their children from Democrats.

    “I can no longer feel safe, the useful democrats have all went to their graves or have retired,” says one mother.

    Comment by The Republic of Stupidity

    Hey, there. Just because your great friend Sadaam had homicidal tendencies doesn’t mean you have to accuse everyone back in the states to “even the playing field.”


  97. The RNC Troll Dept says:

    That’s odd behavior from RoboTroll 3100 in #91. Could this be a spineless name-jacking? We’d better investigate.

    If it IS a name-jacking (as we strongly suspect), at least CT V-1 is getting smarter. Last week it tried to claim credit for its “RoboTroll 3000 routine”.

    That attempt short-circuited in a hurry. As does CT V-1 if the humidity approaches 50%. But at least it got the model number correct this time.

    Better to protect them from Republican pedophiles . . . we seem to have a glut of them lately.


  99. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    Adultery = not a crime. God bless Bill Clinton and the Democrats.

    Pedophilia = terrible crime. Mark Foley and the Republicans will be harshly judged.

    Hahahahaha!!


  100. CompTROLLER V-1 says:

    “Can I suggest instead that 400 hours in a Detroit low income housing area…without an armed guard?”

    Yeah, the stiff Democratic legislature there never did much to pull anyone out of poverty.


  101. mikey r says:

    # 94 — again, strong evidence you present in support of your argument. NOT.

    I linked to a list of hundreds of Republicans with documented histories of sex crimes, pedophilia and perversion, and all you got is “ridiculous outrage on leftist blogs” and “Democrats are worser”.

    No examples, no links, no… what do you call them?…. oh yeah — FACTS!

    You lose.


  102. CompTROLLER V-1 says:

    Comment by Oversight is Bitch

    Prove it. (And no, Mark Foley is not one of the Republican Party, he’s a RINO.)


  103. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    Prove what? That Mark Foley is a Republican? Easy. you lose again.

  106. CompTROLLER V-1 says:

    It’s not a matter of “proof” to general knowledge. It’s a matter of you being in denial while America knows who to hold responsible – Democrats.

    You lose.

    now that’s the irony prize-winner.

    You kinda misuse the word “irony.” As a guider, the Alanis Morrisette definition isn’t true.


  112. pgw says:

    what’s a ‘guider’


  113. CompTroller is My Bitch. says:

    #112. “guider” = “a small rodent native to Austrilia.” I need not provide any proof of that. Thanks.

    America’s gun rights will pay off to deter molesters, or in translation, Democrats.


  115. My Bitch is 'Oversight is a Bitch.' says:

    “I need not provide any proof any of that”

    Then don’t ask the same out of me, especially when it’s general knowledge we’re talking of here.


  116. CompTroller is My Bitch. says:

    “general knowledge” = no proof.


  117. CompTroller is My Bitch. says:

    “general knowledge” = pulled out of CompTroller’s toilet.


  118. pgw says:

    most trolls need guiders because they have trouble staying on-topic


  119. mikey r says:

    CompTROLLER really ain’t too bright.

    In fact, it’s kind of retarded. But it’s still fun watching it get bitch-slapped.


  120. chimpeach says:

    Should we be dumbing down our posts to CompTROLLER V-1’s level? Let’s give it a try:

    Republicans are Nazis.
    Republicans eat babies.
    Republicans want to blow up the world.
    Republicans want to kill every living thing in the world except fetuses.
    All Republicans are gay, but they hate themselves for it.
    It’s always okay when Democrats break the law.

    Nah, let’s not. I feel like an idiot trying to talk like him.


  121. mikey r says:

    Oh, and CompTROLLER, if you’re still here to take the punishment, pgw did NOT misuse the word “irony”.

    His point was that someone in fierce denial (YOU) was accusing others of being in denial.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Fun but weird too. Assuming this is a real human not some lame ass cyber identity, why would anyone wish to present themselves to the world in such a bizarre and irrational way. It has to be an attention thing.


  124. Buck Fush says:

    Everyone look at CompTROLLER – he is desperate for attention, see how he flails about with any stupid repukian talking point he can muster up.
    CompTurder is a loser in real life that is hated by anyone that meets him, that is why a loser like this comes here and grasps at straws for anything no matter how stupid it is to support his parties failures.

    Ok everyone at once, point at CompTurder and laugh…hahahahaha

    IGNORE THE TROLLS – Debate good, CompTurder stupid

    Comment by dbadass

    Evidently, that’s the entire motivation for trollish behavior. Get nothing but negative attention, but it’s still attention. Trolls will argue that they really want to “debate” but all they do is argue and repeat their talking points over and over. It’s an interesting mental illness.


  126. Loonie says:

    I think Abramoff has performed quite enough “services” to his particular communities.

    Just send his crooked ass to jail.


  127. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    Trolls don’t want to “de-bate”, they want to “be-bait” in order to derail threads and/or bring themselves attention. I think we can all admit (OK, I’ll start) that we like to see how others respond to our posts, finding it intellectually and emotionally rewarding. Trolls often seem to be after only the emotional factor.


  128. Coffins draped with flags says:

    OMG… can’t stop laughing at this one… my sides hurt and my eyes are watering from laughing so hard. Is this asswipe serious? Nah, say it isn’t so. It’s so.

    Comment by mikey r

    Point and laugh? Is that the best you’ve got?

    When there’s sight of a liberal, it’s better to point and shoot. Finally, you have no credibility to decide somebody as ‘bright’ or stupid. You offered no proof that Republicans are supposedly are at the heart of sex crimes.

    I guess you can’t get over the fact that my party has been wringing your neck and making you sleep in your dirty diapers for the last seven years. Regardless of your whiny premise here on this board, the Republican party looks forward to the continued exposure of your looniness. Mouth on, talking head.

    Run along, demmie.


  133. Later.. says:

    That’s right, set a precedent for community service for White Colar felons. Then, they won’t really be that afraid of prison. Now that’s good logic. I think the best line I ever heard in my life was from the Commissioner of Prisons of the state of FL about 10 years ago. They were having a problem with their electric chair – it was flaming people’s heads. When asked to comment, the Commissioner took the opportunity, very loudly, to tell would be murderers that they “sure were trying to fix the equipment but in the mean time nows not the time to commit murder in our state… but we are trying real, real hard to fix the problem”. The comments, paraphrased here, spoke volumes.
