Abramoff Flipped

Well, it appears that it is official. Within the next 5 minutes, Jack Abramoff will plead guilty to conspiracy, honest services fraud and tax evasion in a Florida court. The charges he has agreed to plead guilty to are related to the his purchase, with Adam Kidan, of SunCruz, a casino cruise boat business from Gus Boulis, who was later murdered in a gangland style killing, allegedly by people with connections both to the Gambini crime family and Kidan. In exchange for a shorter sentance, Abramoff will testify against members of Congress and their aides in the ongoing Republican bribery scandal. It is likely that the first member of Congress to be hit will be Bob Ney (R-OH), followed by Conrad Burns (R-MT). However, there could be several more Republicans implicated as a part of Abramoff's plea bargain including Tom DeLay (R-TX), who is already charged with money laundering in Texas. Let the Rs fall, and loudly.
