Summary
The fall of lobbyist Jack Abramoff exposed what may be one of the biggest political scandals in America's history. What does the dizzying scope of corruption say about how laws are made and who really owns the U.S. government? In this program, Moyers and his team of investigative journalists untangle the web of relationships, secret deals, and political manipulation--including thousands of emails, reports, and facts on the record--to open a disturbing window on American politics' dark side.
