Abramoff gets a desk at the FBI.
U.S. News reports that fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff “spends up to four hours a day detailing his shady business to agents eager to nail more congressmen in the scandal. And when cooperative witnesses spend that much time inside, they get a desk.” Federal officials are also hoping to place him in a nearby prison after he is sentenced.

He can have a chair, too, even a nice swivel one IF he’s giving information which leads to more transparency in government.
October 23rd, 2006 at 10:49 amanother corrupt republican appointed to a government job. what’s new
October 23rd, 2006 at 10:55 amLOL do they shackle Abramoff to the desk? Do they feed him stale donuts and old coffee? Does he get bathroom breaks?
October 23rd, 2006 at 10:55 amI wonder if any of the Feds got a free trip to the Marianas for the desk. For a warm cup of joe and a deck of cards he knows someone that can get you into a good country club.
October 23rd, 2006 at 10:59 amI had to chuckle watching the Tester vs Burns debate in Montana this past weekend.
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:00 amWhen Tester brought up the fact the Abramoff scandal was reaching out to include Burns, several people booed him.
That didn’t phase Tester.
Burns is a worn out old corrupt crony of Sen. Roberts, et al.
It’s time for him to go.
The only defense he could come up with was ‘Seniority’ will
put me in importatn positions.
Conrad, the only position I want to see you in is prone.
OTOH, you don’t know jackshit, but you do inow Jack.
I’m Glad he’s finally got a real job
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:03 am“Up to four hours per day” ??? Abramoff must really be a “fast talker”.
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:04 amI’ll give Bush a reference to GOD in a minute……

October 23rd, 2006 at 11:05 amHe’s just scamming and riding the glory train again, being the center of attention which is what he loves.
Crafty fellow.

October 23rd, 2006 at 11:08 amSing Jacko! Sing like the stool pigeon you are.
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:11 amFantastical. Please let the FBI know the P-man was in on it too. Don’t worry, failiure is a virtue in this administration – you’ll be met as a liberator.
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:16 amIs this to coordinate the cover story or skewer some bad guys? If the FBI is part of the justice department and the executive branch, maybe they can investigate Congress, but should not an independent investigator be appointed to avoid a conflict of interest when investigating his dealings with the White House?
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:42 amI suppose that means that Doolittle is getting a new desk soon as well. He is officially classified as a “cooperating witness;” is that not the titular appelation for a person who has plead out something, such as a nolo contendre agreement????
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:52 amWeird stuff! How very awkward for them!
October 23rd, 2006 at 11:59 amHey isn’t this the guy that also called the Christian Right wackos?
College Republicans have included Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, prominent Republican strategist Lee Atwater, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry, lobbyist Jack Abramoff and Canadian political consultant Joshua Workman.
See they learned to lie and be crooks very early on!!
October 23rd, 2006 at 12:22 pmwell, it’s definitely proof that torture is not needed… oops…
October 23rd, 2006 at 4:00 pm.
We must be grateful for small graces…
October 23rd, 2006 at 8:16 pmWhile he’s there, why don’t they ask him more about the hit-job on Gus Boulis in Florida.. you don’t think he wasn’t party to that too?

October 24th, 2006 at 11:59 amThey’d best be counting the pens around that office….10 years from now there’ll be a great scandal involving all the data Jack stole while he was hanging around FBI HQ.
October 24th, 2006 at 12:17 pmI am waiting to see if Jack Abramoff is above the law, and i wait to see if Jack Abramoff will serve a sentence in prison. Not cummunity service He laughted all the way to the bank $$ Jack Abramoff i will be thinking of you gue!
