Jack Abramoff has nothing on Tom DeLay. At least, that is what he is telling his friends. From the Chicago Sun-Times:Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff has advised friends that he has no derogatory information about former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and is not implicating him as part of his plea bargain with federal prosecutors.
Abramoff's guilty plea on fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy charges requires him to provide evidence about members of Congress. That led to speculation that this would mean trouble for DeLay, who faces money laundering and conspiracy charges in Texas.
However, Abramoff has not given a clean bill of health to any other congressman -- including Rep. Robert Ney, who has stepped down as chairman of the House Administration Committee. Ney was named in court papers connected with Abramoff's guilty plea Jan. 4.
Rut Roh, Mr. Earle! It looks like maybe your case is falling apart after all! Of course, keep on recruiting, and maybe the 95th jury you harass will actually return the verdict of your choice!
More from the Sun-Times:
Hillary Clinton is finally putting her foot down. She is telling Bill to shut up. It seems even former Presidents don't get free speech under Hillary's rule:
Democratic politicians were surprised by the message from Clinton's camp that she henceforth would censor Bill Clinton's comments to prevent recurrence of their heavily publicized disagreements over Dubai Ports. Such restraint on the former president was viewed as something that should not be talked about publicly.
This begs the question....is Hillary goosestepping through the Capitol?
