Will Abramahoff live to implicate any high republicans?
Ok I admit this might be a dumb question and a bit paranoid but...

If Abramahoff could implicate so many republicans, especially high ranking Republicans, if his testimoney could put a serious monkey wrench in the republican machine if not wreck it...

Is it possible that there might be some people highly motivated to make sure he never testifies?

I have no info that this could or couldn't happen, this is entirely hypothetical. But I am curiouse..is it possible , even likly that some one would try?

3. Puts some irony in his sponsorship of sniper schools, doesn't it?
Wonder if his hats are Kevlar lined.

5. I'm sure there are those who are certain it will happen.
I'm not one of them, however. BTW, its Abramoff (not Abramahoff).

6. He's pleaded guilty to public corruption, bribery, and fraud
and is going to squeal for a reduced sentence.

Ask McCain how filthy and personal W can get.

7. Everything's pretty much on paper and on tape

and there are the dozens of associates aides to testify to everything. There's nothing to be gained.

9. No Reason to Off Abramoff
The people he can give up are collateral damage to the Big Conservative Plan. It may be the sacrificial lambs have already been chosen. "To save the body, the limb must be cut off." Sounds like a medieval Pope, eh?

The conservative insurgents in Amerika have NEVER been shy about sacrificing their own, for the sake of the movement. The whole point is to keep people thinking there's a process, that the rule of law is still in control.

We know it's not. God help us. Let justice be done, even if the Heavens fall.

11. It won't be necessary ...

The lead "prosecutor" has never prosecuted a case. Abramoff will be doing a stint on behalf of the GOP like any loyal mobster. He will do everything he can to "short-circuit" the investigation while trying to implicate as many Democrats as possible.

The Republicans he does finger will be the ones who weren't "loyal enough".

The Abramoff plea is NOT a coup for Democrats. It's damage control for Republicans.
