Abramoff and the murder of SunCruz owner, Gus Boulis..

[snowbear]

I just keep wondering about the 3 guys arrested for the murder of Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis.

The hired hands:

They were only arrested 3 or so months ago and will face trial sometime in '06..

When you look at the link between Abramoff and the victim, you have to wonder what will come out during the trial.

The police in Florida say that Abramoff is cooperating with them on the homicide now. So what!?! Dan Abrams (MSNBC) still thinks this case will be much worse for Abramoff than his Rethug scandal once it gets rolling.

When you read all the stories about this homicide.. Abramoff seems to have a LOT to worry about.

I think he (and his partner, Adam Kidan) will ultimately be charged with hiring the hitmen to kill Boulis.

The victim

Interesting site about Abramoff's scandals and ties to this murder -->
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/abramoff_scandal.htm

Jack Abramoff has a lot more to worry about than his Republican Scandalfest.. The stories about this murder in papers across the nation are mind-boggling and no one thinks that Abramoff is off the hook in this crime at all.

1. Do you know if they're out on bail?

I remember following this story early on. Now that Abramoff is getting his 15 minutes, I wonder if these guys will still be around for the trial.

:tinfoilhat:

I've read things that lead me to believe Kidan can really roll on Abramoff.

[snowbear]

2. I think only one of them was allowed bail...

The other two were denied bail per one of the many, many, many articles..

What a dirtball Abramoff is..

[leftstreet]

3. Interesting. I'd LOVE to know what they've been telling prosecutors.

:)

And yeah, Abramoff is a dirtball who's been spinning out of control, and under the radar, for too long. Getting caught was inevitable.

~~~~~~~~~~Another interesting tie to Abramoff...

Scanlan's ex-girlfriend, Emily Miller


..is the one who made the cameraman pull the camera off of Colin Powell when they were in Jordan:

Getting those trains to run on time: State Department press aide Emily Miller. (Ray Lustig - The Washington Post)
By Richard Leiby
Tuesday, May 18, 2004; Page C03

Despite an outcry among media types, the State Department yesterday offered its full support for controversial press aide Emily J. Miller, who shocked both her boss, Colin Powell, and "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert when she ordered a cameraman to stop filming an interview with Powell that ran a few minutes over schedule Sunday in Jordan.

"I think she's great and she's doing a good job for us," Richard Boucher, State's top spokesman, told us. "Russert went on and on and on. We asked the cameraman to help us cut it off. He did and moved the camera."

After NBC's Jordanian cameraman proceeded to film palm trees instead of Powell, Russert called it "attempted news management gone berserk." He said nothing like it had ever happened in his 13 years as the show's host.

In just six months on the job, Miller, 33, who controls access to Powell, seems to have made more enemies than usual among the reporters who cover the State Department. "Her manner is brusque, abrasive, demeaning," said one, asking to remain anonymous so as not to be frozen out of interviews with Powell. "She's not doing the secretary a service; she's doing him a disservice."

Miller responded: "This is much ado about nothing and overshadows the successful meetings on Mideast peace that the secretary was having. My job was to keep the trains moving so that five interviews could get done."

About six weeks ago, Boucher investigated reporters' complaints about Miller's conduct during a pool-camera shoot. "There were one or two places where she was too aggressive," he acknowledged. "We all make mistakes sometimes."

In 2001 Miller was working as press secretary to then-Majority Whip Tom DeLay when she lashed into Post Magazine writer Peter Perl while he was doing a profile of her boss, screaming: "You lied! . . . You betrayed him! You twisted his words! . . . We don't know you. You don't exist. . . . You are dead to us." A DeLay spokesman told us yesterday, "Tom thinks Emily did a fine job for him."

God.. they are all linked to each other..

Police: Reputed Mobster Ratting On Cohorts In Boulis Hit
Investigators Say Gambino Associate Is Talking

POSTED: 9:01 am EDT September 30, 2005

MIAMI -- Detectives say that there are new developments in the investigation into the mob-style murder of well-known South Florida businessman Gus Boulis.

Investigators said Friday that reputed Gambino family crime associate Anthony Moscatiello is ratting on the other two men arrested, but he is not implicating himself.

Moscatiello received thousands of dollars in Sun Cruz checks, money that investigators said they believe was the payoff for the murder of Boulis.

Moscatiello, along with Anthony Ferrari and James Fiorillo, are charged with gunning down Boulis back in 2001.

12. Ed Rogers defending Abramoff on Hardball Thursday night

Honorable Mention for Ed Rogers, GOP lobbyist, from last night's Hardball (emphasis added): ". Look, this is going to come out. Nobody is going to keep it a secret. Jack Abramoff is so radioactive—I've got Jack Abramoff fatigue already. I mean, good grief, he didn't kill anybody. Maybe that one guy in Florida."
