The AP just reported that Scanlon pled guilty to conspiracy charges.
Michael Scanlon, a former partner to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to bribe public officials, a charge growing out of the government investigation of attempts to defraud Indian tribes and corrupt a member of Congress.
Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle and agreed to pay restitution totaling more than $19 million to the tribes.

update: added blockquotes - thanks for the help.
Any predictions on how his alleged cooperation with prosecuters will hurt Delay, Abramoff, Ney, the entire Republican Establishment, etc...?
update 2: changed "plead" to "pled," per a commenter's suggestion. i'll make sure to send my master's dissertation to mswaine for copy editing.
