And now, the mystery representative behind door #1!

[geckosfeet]

CNN - Source: Abramoff to plead guilty to fraud, other charges

<snip>
Prosecutors also detailed a "stream of things of value" given to an unnamed congressman, identified in the court documents as Representative No. 1.

The items listed include a "lavish" trip to Scotland to play golf, tickets to sporting events and campaign contributions to the representative and his political action committee in exchange for a series of actions by that representative.

3. Yeah, but he is only going to finger ONE Congressman.

The rest of the slime will go free and the Rethugs will carp about political attacks by the Dems.

5. Surprise...

I am racking my brain trying to figure out who Representative No. 1 could be

Well, me, I thought, "DeLay", but that CNN article indicates otherwise:

The Justice Department would not identify the congressman. But government sources have said he is Republican Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, chairman of the House Administration Committee.

6. Everything I've read says several congressmen.

And I think Representative #1 has been previously identified as Bob Ney.

7. They're making it too obvious

...they should refer to "House Majority Leader #1..." :D

[geckosfeet]

8. Yes - sarcasm. My understanding is that Delay is behind door #1. n/t

9. The article speaks contrary to what you are hinting at...

This quote bit immediately follows what you posted:

The Justice Department would not identify the congressman. But government sources have said he is Republican Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, chairman of the House Administration Committee.

I thought DeLay myself, but I don't know... Maybe it is just a red herring to throw people off course?

10. Yes - it is Ney! Soon to be behind a nice set of steel bars.
