Individually. The money he paid to the Dems went to the Dems

BLITZER: Should Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, who's now
pleaded guilty to bribery charges among other charges, a Republican lobbyist
in Washington - should the Democrats who took money from him give that money
to charity or give it back?
DEAN: There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff. Not one.
Not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican,
every person under investigation is a Republican, every person indicted is a
Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that
Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money, and we've looked through all
those FEC reports to make sure that's true.
BLITZER: [Stammering] But through various Abramoff-related organizations,
and outfits, a bunch of Democrats did take money that presumably originated
with Jack Abramoff.
DEAN: That's not true either. There's no evidence for that either, there's
no evidence...
BLITZER: What about Senator, what about, what about, what about Senator
Byron Dorgan?
DEAN: Senator Byron Dorgan and some others took money from Indian tribes.
They're not agents of Jack Abramoff. There's no evidence that I've seen that
Jack Abramoff directed any contributions to Democrats. I know the Republican
National Committee would like to get the Democrats involved in this. They're
scared. They should be scared. They haven't told the truth, and they have
misled the American people, and now it appears they're stealing from Indian
tribes. The Democrats are not involved in this.
BLITZER: [Long pause, apparently getting direction in his earpiece] [Sigh]
Unfortunately, we, uh, Mr. Chairman, we've got to leave it right there.
