Chatty Abramoff Gets FBI Desk-Spends 4 HOURS A Day-Ratting on Congressmen
Edited on Sun Oct-22-06 05:04 PM by kpete
Chatty Abramoff Gets an FBI Desk

Jack Abramoff, the lobbying scandal figure, has become such a chatty rat that probe insiders say he's been given a desk to work at in the FBI. We're told he spends up to four hours a day detailing his shady business to agents eager to nail more congressmen in the scandal. And when cooperative witnesses spend that much time inside, they get a desk. As a result of his help in the ever expanding investigation, we hear that the Feds hope to keep him in a nearby prison after he's sentenced on his conspiracy admission.

3. Sounds like the whole network
of K-Street pay-to-play lobby gravy train is about to dry up. One can only hope.

9. A desk.
I guess a waterboard was too good for him.

Excuse me. I couldn't help myself. You must admit there is something a bit disturbing about how they seem to treat republican prisoners versus people like Chong, who had to clean toilets.

Talk Jack, talk!

13. Oh, thank God for Project K Street!
How thoughtful of the Republicans to use greed to bait their own kind and corral them in one place for Abramoff to pick them off for the FBI. It's almost like the principle behind the Iraq War and drawing in all the Al Qaeda members.

17. reminds me of Leo DiCaprio's character
in "Catch me if you can". After a lifetime of check fraud the FBI effectively hires him to solves other crimes. Oh, the bitter, bitter irony of it all.

18. Does he wear a bullet proof vest before and after he
leaves the bldg? Does he have personal protection otherwise? Seems that he could be in danger.
