Bob Ney Sentenced to 30 Months
The AP reports that Bob Ney, the former Ohio congressman who pled guilty on corruption charges stemming from the Abramoff scandal, will spend the next two-and-a-half years at a federal prison in Morgantown, West Virginia. Apparently, the sentence was even harsher than prosecutors had originally recommended. Explaining her reasoning to Ney, Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle said, “Both your constituents and the public trusted you to represent them honestly.”

On a call in talk radio show, "Howard Monroe Morning show", WVLY 1370 AM in Wheeling, WV, WVLY.net
synopsis of conversation as I heard it:
Bob Ney confirmed over the phone, and in an e-mail to the host, that he was approached by Iranian Officials in 2003 through Swiss ambassador, and took an extensive plan to Karl Rove and the White house that would have possibly resolved conflict with Iran. The plan was buried by the White House.
