Abramoff Firm Indicted on Theft, Conspiracy

Abramoff, His Firm and Guam Official Indicted on Nine Felony Counts

Jack Abramoff's old lobby firm has been slapped with its first indictment stemming from his misdeeds.

The attorney general for Guam issued an indictment Monday against the Greenberg Traurig firm, Abramoff and a former Guam government official on nine felony counts of theft, conspiracy and misconduct.

"We strongly deny these charges and are confident we will prevail when all the facts are known," said firm spokeswoman Jill Perry in an e-mail. "We have cooperated with all law enforcement agencies and congressional investigations and made sure that any former clients were fairly treated. We will address this matter in the same spirit."

It is believed to be the first time Greenberg Traurig has faced indictment in connection to their disgraced former superstar lobbyist, although Perry did not confirm that.

2. Always a good way to beat terrorist organizations. Go after their money.

It helps with the international terrorists, AND the domestic ones.

Plus, I rather like the idea of tying them up in court, too. That will siphon money away. Perhaps if more of these "foundations" and "legal defense funds" and "support groups" wind up having to write check after check after check after check to try to help these weasels beat the rap, it'll be that much less they can contribute to john mccain or the republi-CON Senatorial Campaign Committee or the republi-CON Congressional Campaign Committee.

Go after their money. Like you go after the blood supply to a cancerous tumor.
