for five years, former democratic congressman toby moffett's plm group, a partnership between 3 lobbying firms, had a 1.1 million dollar contract to represent the egyptian government, and keep the aid flowing. >> did the egyptians think that aid would actually be cut? >> never, never. i mean military aid, never. toby said the core of the relationship was a military one. i asked him if there was an insider who had the confidence of both militaries. >> hello? skip? skip miner? it's anjali kamat from fl william skip miner is the egyptian generals' favorite lobbyist. he was a pilot and commander in the navy, and worked for the joint chiefs of staff. >> i think between the two militaries there's a relationship and it's based on our mutual interests. that hasn't changed. they're very close. >> do you think that military aid will be suspended? >> i always cringe when people say we give them this money. i never look at it that way. we have money to contribute, and then they give us access. we still have access. they haven't changed the nature of what they provide us. why would we want to change
