"The Hill": Abramoff business partner Scanlon flipped for prosecution

"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."

1. Rut roh - look for another stop
on the Delay desperation tour. If Scanlon has agreed to testify against anybody indicted in this case the Texas case against Delay will look like a parking ticket next to the impact this will have on him. LOLOLOLOL I'll bet the shoe polish is running out of Delay's bad combover right fuckin now.

3. Yeah, and Delay's just for starters.
How about the RNC for money-laundering?

How about Senator Conrad Burns?

How about Roy Blunt?

etc., ad infinitum
