Abscam FBI Sting Operation
The FBI was aided by the Justice Department and a convicted con-man, Mel Weinberg in videotaping politicians accepting bribes from a fictitious Arabian company in return for various political favors
Weinberg, supervised by the FBI, created a fake company called Abdul Enterprises in which FBI employees posed as fictional Arab sheikhs led by owners Kambir Abdul Rahman and Yassir Habib, who had millions of dollars to invest in the United States.
Convictions included:
US Senator Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ)
US Representative Frank Thompson (D-NJ)
US Representative John Jenrette (D-SC)
US Representative Raymond Lederer (D-PA)
US Representative Michael "Ozzie" Myers (D-PA)
US Representative John M. Murphy (D-NY)
US Representative Richard Kelly (R-FL)
Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Angelo Errichetti (D)
Philadelphia, PA City Council President George X. Schwartz (D)
Philadelphia, PA City Councilman Harry Jannotti (D)
Philadelphia, PA City Councilman Louis Johanson (D)
An inspector for the US Immigration and Naturalization Service
This list does not include a number of politicians who faced scrutiny for their questionable involvement with operation Abscam.Â
FBI documents later disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, consisting of newspaper clippings and letters written to the FBI, revealed a mixed response of the American public.Â
Some Americans supported the FBI, but others argued that Abscam was an entrapment scenario ordered by a revenge-minded FBI, which earlier had been stung by Congressional inquiries into acts of police brutality and similar widespread abuses.
Congressional concern about sting operations persisted, creating numerous additional guidelines in the ensuing years:
The Civiletti Guidelines â 1980â1981
The Smith Guidelines â 1983
The Thornburgh Guidelines â 1989
The Reno Guidelines â 2001
During the course of Abscam, the FBI handed out more than $400,000 in "bribes" to Congressmen and middlemen.
On this day... October 2nd
On October 2nd, 1980, Michael Myers became the first Congressman to be expelled since 1861.

âAnnie Christianâ by Prince (1981)
Weird Prince is not always great Prince...wait, let me walk that back.
Just about everything Prince put out (especially during his 1980-88 imperial period) qualifies as at least a little bit weird. Most of it is great, the worst of it is merely good. âAnnie Christianâ, sonically and lyrically, is great...not âKissâ or âWhen Doves Cryâ or âAdoreâ great. But second tier Prince great, which is still better than 90% of the music ever made. And weird. He talks instead of sings over video game synthesizers, rips off a distorted guitar solo, and basically sounds 180 degrees different than the dude who cooed âI Wanna Be Your Loverâ two years before. We were very quickly being trained to expect the unexpected from Mister Nelson.
âAnnie Christianâ is an overt political statement, and Prince had yet to make one of those in his then-short career. In brief, rapid-fire bursts, he calls out the Atlanta Child Murders, John Lennonâs death, and ABSCAM, which this entry compelled me to look up on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscam). He attributes all of these factual incidents to a fictional(?*) character he dubs Annie Christian (aka The Anti-Christ). Iâm not sure if Prince was going for a news reporter vibe in his vocal delivery, but his deadpan cadence comes across as quite unsettling. Itâs interesting to note that in 1981, some folks appear to have been just as freaked out about the U.S. political situation as we are now. âNice to know that the gun control argument has gone nowhere in the last thirty-six years,â Prince is probably muttering somewhere in the afterlife.
*given Princeâs religious beliefs, I canât be sure.
