1. Let me give it a shot

Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff is scheduled to report to federal prison tomorrow, over the objections of federal prosecutors who say they still need his help to pursue leads on officials he allegedly bribed.

Sources close to the investigation say Abramoff has provided information on his dealings with and campaign contributions and gifts to "dozens of members of Congress and staff," including what Abramoff has reportedly described as "six to eight seriously corrupt Democratic senators."

The sources say Abramoff was about to provide information about Bush administration officials, including Karl Rove, "accepting things of value" from Abramoff.

Rove has denied any wrongdoing in his dealings with Abramoff. But the lobbyist visited the White House at least seven times, according to Secret Service logs obtained by Judicial Watch.

Abramoff has been meeting almost daily in secret locations around Washington with Justice Department investigators who are examining thousands of e-mails and documents, according to sources close to the investigation. The convicted lobbyist was spotted in downtown Washington, D.C., yesterday, carrying a computer laptop case.

2. Get all the corrupt bastards outta there

If he's got evidence, let's hear it. Seems doubtful he can offer anything new since the prosecutor must've seized everything before his trial.

:shrug:

BTW, the link worked fine for me.

6. LOL. This was hashed over ad nauseum at the time. The media's "equivalency" game.

Because tribes that were associated with Abramoff lobbying gave money to Democrats, that's the same as if the money came from Abramoff?

It is to laugh.

Nice try though.

7. The Senators who have already been named are probably who he will name

They are the only ones I can think of who had any remote (indirect, through his affiliates) ties to Abramoff, which weren't real ties.

8. It was established no personal donations from Abramoff.

Maybe the tribes, whom they call his "clients." But for some of them that was part of their job to work with them.
