Suddenly Very Important Abramoff Goes to Prison NOW
A Florida judge who has granted federal prosecutors several delays in the actual incarceration of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, so prosecutors can continue their investigation of corrupt members of Congress, has had enough, quite frankly. He has unexpectedly ordered Abramoff to report to a prison tomorrow, and it looks like it's for real. Abramoff's convict profile page on the Federal Bureau of Prisons website has him labeled as "in transit."
A ploy by Republican overlords to hamper the investigation of vulnerable Republicans, you say? Wrong! Says ABC's "The Note":
Sources close to the investigation say Abramoff has provided information on his dealings with and campaign contributions and gifts to "dozens of members of Congress and staff," including what Abramoff has reportedly described as "six to eight seriously corrupt Democratic senators."
For Mother Jones on the Abramoff saga, see Barry Yeoman's "Fall of a True Believer."
