Its about TIME!
November 18th, 2005 at 1:43 pmNow they need to stay HARD ON THE CASE!
Oh yes. Mr “Whackos”. I’ll have you know I spent an entire evening emailing Sugarland churches the statements by Scanlon concerning “Whacko Christians”.
November 18th, 2005 at 1:44 pm“Another one bites the dust.”
Keep ‘em coming. This house of cards is coming down and the republicans are starting to realize it. They are starting to distance themselves from Bush and friends, because they know what’s coming next.
Impeachment.
November 18th, 2005 at 1:46 pmIndicting Republicans… like shooting fish in a barrel.
November 18th, 2005 at 1:55 pmscalp the bastidge!!!
November 18th, 2005 at 1:56 pmOkay! So it looks like Abramoff’s next, and the combinatin of these two, Scanlon and Abramoff, doesn’t bode well for good old Tom Delay! By the way, have they settled on a judge and a trial date yet for the Hammer?
November 18th, 2005 at 1:58 pmI don’t think there is a trial date yet, but Hand Tool’s case is going to be handled by Judge Priest (no kidding), a Democrat. He’s retired.
Apparently, it’ll stay with him.
November 18th, 2005 at 2:08 pmHow come Tom Delay could get another judge? I guess when you have money any thing goes.
November 18th, 2005 at 2:14 pmIn any judicial proceeding, you can object to the judge if there is information indicating bias. It’s very vague. The first judge made financial contributions to a website that criticzed Hand Tool, so he objected. Then it went to a Republican judge, who recused himself, then it went to another Republican judge, who then sent it to an associate judge (the Democrat). Since there was no record of the final judge giving to any organizations who hated Hand Tool, that’s where the fight ended.
The Texas court system. Working to protect you!
November 18th, 2005 at 2:19 pmAnd the walls came tumbling down! The Bushco is due for another Katrina–the dikes have been breached.
November 18th, 2005 at 2:33 pmGets even better – Roll Call is reporting that Scanlon has rolled over and wants to play:
“Michael Scanlon has agreed to testify against one-time business partner Jack Abramoff in any future criminal case involving the ex-lobbying superstar.
The Justice Department has filed a “criminal information†document in federal court related to Scanlon, and there will be a hearing before a federal judge Monday afternoon.
At that time, Scanlon is expected to plead guilty to one felony count of conspiracy. Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas), would then testify against Abramoff and anyone else indicted in the case, according to Justice Department sources.”
November 18th, 2005 at 4:30 pmGreed greed greed. Will Scanlon testify against Abramoff? As the ship sinks, it’s each rat for himself.

November 18th, 2005 at 4:31 pm[...] Not only has Mike Scanlon been charged with conspiring to defraud Native American tribes, but he appears to have reached a plea agreement: The Justice Department has filed a “criminal information†document in federal court related to Scanlon, and there will be a hearing before a federal judge Monday afternoon. [...]
November 18th, 2005 at 4:56 pmYeah folks, its playtime in the courts, Roll, roll, roll until you cant roll anymore.
Now, if only Abramoff would only roll over on DeLay. That would make a good day even better.
November 18th, 2005 at 5:41 pmThis is just killing me!!! Can we please just impeach everyone!! Please! Wait we can’t impeach a lobbiest can we (sarcasm)? :)
