This should be good

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 - Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist under indictment for fraud in South Florida, is expected to complete a plea agreement in the Miami criminal case, setting the stage for him to become a crucial witness in a broad federal corruption investigation, people with direct knowledge of the case said.

One participant in the case said the deal could be made final as early as next week.

2. It is going to be
difficult to keep up with.

I only hope that it isn't so much so fast that John Q. Public ignores it rather than trying to understand it.

5. Once it's in the courts, John Q. Public.....
has very little to do with it. If the charges do come down on elected officials, that will be front page headlines that even the repukes can't ignore.

If the charges stick and these politicos get convicted, it will be real hard to put a good spin on "I'm going to prison" in their newsletter.

I agree the sheer volume of scandals surrounding these assholes can be overwhelming. But the fact all these scandals have come to light, gone into litigation, and into the MSM, is a good thing.

Besides, WE understand it. It's our duty to spell it out for the politically challenged. O8)

7. Very true.
I love your take on spinning "I'm going to prison"! :rofl:

BTW, I have been gone a lot lately and just briefly scanning the site for updates. I saw that you hit 1000 posts, was that yesterday? Whatever, I just wanted to say congratulations. (I hope that was you, lol. :blush: if not)

6. My thoughts exactly......
I figure his choices are big jail time, little jail time, or witness protection program.

I'm hoping the prosecutors are Fitzgerald-like in these cases and do the right thing.



ps. I'm actually surprised he has stayed alive this long.
