Environmentalist helps Abramoff probe

Excerpt
WASHINGTON — The head of a Republican environmental advocacy group is set to plead guilty in the Jack Abramoff scandal and is cooperating with an FBI investigation into corruption involving Congress and the Bush administration, two people close to the case said Wednesday.
Italia Federici served as a go-between for Abramoff, the once-powerful lobbyist, and J. Steven Griles, the deputy interior secretary during President Bush’s first term, prosecutors said Wednesday in documents charging her with tax evasion and obstructing a Senate inquiry into the Abramoff scandal.
Under a deal with the Justice Department, she must cooperate with authorities and is identifying other criminal targets, one of the people said.
Authorities believe Federici may be able to provide information about former Interior Secretary Gale Norton, other Bush administration officials and the contacts that she, Abramoff and Griles cultivated in Congress, the second individual said.
HL’s Take
So a member of Bush’s cabinet may be the next to go down, this is the most corrupt administraion in US history, is there any member of Team Bush who is not guilty of offenses that should have them all in Prison? We already know that Rove, Cheney, and Bush himself belong in the Pen. Who else will go down before this whole pigf**k is finally over?

Hey Hunter, if Jefferson is guilty I will nail him for it, don’t worry about it. I’m going to have to look into this a little more. As for now he has pleaded not guilty. Lets see where this plays out. Even if he is convicted it will be one democrat for every 5 Repulicans that get busted.
