Ex-aide to Ney pleads guilty to corruption

By James Vicini and Thomas Ferraro Mon May 8, 4:53 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former top aide to Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Ney ... pleaded guilty on Monday and agreed to cooperate in an expanding political corruption investigation centered on disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Ney's former chief of staff, Neil Volz, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud and to violating a one-year ban on lobbying after leaving Ney's office in 2002 and joining Abramoff's lobbying firm.

"Guilty, your honor," Volz, 35, told U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle during a brief court hearing.

6. True

Wouldn't that be cool? I don't expect to see it, though. Unless they hand off the prosecution to Patrick Fitzgerald.
