Abramoff e-mail said work here aided tribe

In an email to Michael Scanlon -- who has never even met Bob Riley, according to Twinkle Cavanaugh -- Jack says that he praised Scanlon's work to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. In fact, he more or less gave Scanlon credit for getting Riley (the anti-lottery candidate) elected. A Riley spokesman says that they certainly were not celebrating Riley's victory in 2002 but the election of some completely different Alabama governor at that time, possibly B. B. Comer.
