What's Grover Hiding?

The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs has subpoenaed ur-scumbag Grover Norquist in connection with its DeLaygate investigation.

WASHINGTON - Senate investigators probing how Indian tribes were fleeced by lobbyists with ties to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay have requested the financial records of two prominent conservatives who got tribal contributions.

The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs has asked for records from Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, and from Grover Norquist, who heads Americans for Tax Reform. Both men profited from Indian tribes who hired lobbyists Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon to push the tribes' gambling interests in Washington.

"As part of the committees oversight function, we are examining instances of potential defrauding of Indian tribes," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who chairs the committee.

Reed, who is running for lieutenant governor of Georgia, said through a spokeswoman that he would turn over all records to the committee.

Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform said it would not release all the documents requested by the Senate committee, including lists of donors.

"In the past, ATR's donors have been harassed and abused when their names have been made public, and the organization has no intention of allowing this to happen again," said spokesman Christopher Butler. A subpoena was issued for the records that ATR has refused to release, McCain said.

Norquist's ATR received six-figure donations from Abramoff's Indian clients, according to published reports.

If John McCain can pop open that donor list, I'll vote for him in the next presidental race.

Provided his opponent is Joe Lieberman, that is.
