21 Congressmembers tied to Abramhoff - Post from DailyKos
I've taken the liberty of cross-posting the following from today's www.dailykos.com. This post was written by Dengre.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/8/4/23043/47662

Excerpts:

#1: Tom DeLay (TX-22)...

#2: Bob Ney (OH-18)...

#3: Conrad Burns (MT) is very close to being named as Senator #1 in a coming Abramoff Scandal indictment and/or plea deal...

#4: I expect John Doolittle (CA-4) will be named as Congressman #3 when the next Abramoff scandal indictments and/or plea deals are announced....

#5: Richard Pombo (CA-11) ...he has been on Abramoff's team since at least 1996. Currently, he is the GOP obstacle to a hearing and a vote for H.R. 5550, the Human Dignity Act, the Bill would extend US labor, immigration and custom laws to the Mariana Islands. This Justice is long overdue, but Pombo protects the CNMI system of abuse (AKA Slavery 2.0) instead. Pombo has over a decade of working with Abramoff under his belt. A lot of legislation and money has been changing hands and he is corrupt on many levels (for details, see the many Pombo Diaries by L of E). Connecting the dots between Pombo and Abramoff will require some more research, but I have a feeling the stories will break soon. The Democrat running to remove this force of darkness is Jerry McNerney. Please give him your support."
