Has McCain covered for Republicans who helped Abramoff?

[Virginia Dare]

Far from pursuing Jack Abramoff and those who helped him, John McCain may have tried to cover the tracks of Abramoff's key Republican allies in Congress. Case in point is Heather Wilson of New Mexico:
Wilson has been a stalwart supporter and prominent surrogate for John McCain, painting him as a crusader against Washington corruption. Just last night, she appeared on MSNBC's Hardball to make the case for him, and last week she told NPR: "John McCain has chosen a reformer ... to be his running mate and I think that's a perfect complement to who he is and what he's done in his life."

Wilson may have good reason to hold the GOP nominee in high regard. In his 2005 Senate investigation, McCain had access to the Greenberg Traurig email trove, presumably including the ones cited by prosecutors in the Ring indictment highlighted above. But his final report generally avoided focusing on members of Congress, and omitted any mention of Wilson.
McCain wouold have been able to see from this evidence that Heather Wilson and her office were involved in Abramoff's scheme to fleece indian tribes:
