why No Abramoff indictments?
It's been over 2 months since Abramoff pled guilty, and he'd been talking to DOJ officials for nearly a year before that. Bob Ney was identified as having taken a bribe, not by name but, clearly identified nonetheless. Several former Congressional aides were identified. I so don't trust the DOJ.

1. It wont happen until after the elections in 2006. The same with
Fitzgerald, nothing will happen until the repukes have safely LOST the 2006 elections.

2. the prosecutor goes after the Congressional aides first to help
strengthen their case and re-affirm what A'bramoff is saying. Then the prosecutor will have the actual Congressional suspects by the balls.

Patience with these things - the indictments will come

7. Well this Prosecutor is going after a federal judgeship
We don't even know who the new prosecutor is or if there even is one. The whole damn case may just go away....

6. What does Fitzgerald have to
do with the Abramoff scandal. He's prosecuting the Whitehouse leak/Plame affair. I'm confused by your post.

4. He pled guilty to sealed indictments - they won't unseal until others
that are being investigated are cleared.
