Oh my. Tom Delay's pay-for-play scheme just got dealt a fatal blow, at least for this current batch of corrupt Republican lawmakers.
That these crooks are even "lawmakers" is incredibly disturbing. But they're good at PR!
Let's jump to the juicing part:
Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist under indictment for fraud in South Florida, is expected to complete a plea agreement in the Miami criminal case, setting the stage for him to become a crucial witness in a broad federal corruption investigation, people with direct knowledge of the case said.
And:
At the same time, prosecutors in Washington have been sifting through evidence of what they believe is a corruption scheme involving at least a dozen lawmakers and their former staff members, many of whom worked closely on legislation with Mr. Abramoff and accepted gifts and favors from him. Although Mr. Abramoff is also in negotiations in that case, it is unclear whether a settlement can be reached in time for both agreements to be announced at once.
Don't they execute corrupt lawmakers in China?
