Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff is one of the more morally complicated figures I find myself thinking about. A Georgetown-trained lobbyist who became the face of a sprawling federal corruption scandal and a convicted felon, he's hardly a sympathetic figure. Yet what intrigues me is the second act, his turn toward exposing the very influence-peddling machinery he once mastered. There's an uncomfortable but undeniable authority in hearing the workings of corruption explained by the man who exploited them best. I don't romanticize him, but as a study of power, ambition, and consequence, he's endlessly instructive. He's a cautionary tale told in the first person.
