"Representative Tom DeLay [3]'s campaign to get Republicans to dominate Washington lobbying [4] may have worked too well for the Alexander Strategy Group [5]," writes Bloomberg. The lobbying and political strategy firm "has links to no fewer than three of the scandals convulsing the U.S. capital [6]." ASG partner Tony Rudy [7] "is now a focus of the federal investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff [8]." Founder Ed Buckham [9] "set up a South Korea junket for his old boss," DeLay, "that violated ethics rules." Lobbyist Jim Ellis [10] "faces money-laundering charges in Texas along with DeLay." Lastly, ASG represents Group W Advisors, Inc. [11], a defense contractor owned by Brent Wilkes [12], who "is one of the four un-indicted co-conspirators in a Nov. 28 criminal complaint for allegedly bribing" Representative Cunningham [13], who pled guilty to graft and resigned from Congress.
