DOJ: Abramoff Will Still Cooperate From Prison
EmailDepartment of Justice officials "fully expect Jack Abramoff to continue to cooperate with them," and "his reporting to prison tomorrow means nothing," a senior Justice Department spokesman told ABC News. While prosecutors had originally argued for Abramoff to stay out of jail, the Justice Department is now requesting he report to the Federal Correction Institute in Cumberland, Md., to make it easier "to facilitate that continuing cooperation." In a recent court filing, federal prosecutors specifically requested Abramoff be sent to the Cumberland facility, "the closest minimum security facility to the District of Columbia," about a two-hour drive from the Justice Department in downtown Washington.

I am so tired of all of this. Let’s get the corrupt politicans out of Congress and get on with the business of doing something instead of fighting with each other. The American people are the only ones who suffer from this. Let’s finally do something about it once and for all.

It’s nice to see the wheels of justice turn albeit slowly. We can never forget that the corruption of the last several years is not just about politics. It’s about protecting the pensions of our seniors, the lives of our young men and women at war and future economic interests of our children. We must make an example of corrupt politicians.

Sounds fishy to me….Jackie boy has had many, many months to put the finger on members of Congress not previously outed for their greedy ways. If there is any truth to this story, Abramoff, is appartently trying to wheel and deal with Federal Corrections, DOJ, etc..for favorable treatment while behind bars…corraboration is the key here. Apparently none has been established, at least not publically, yet.

Why is it that after the elections the Justice Department is now interested in the names of the Democrats involved, and why now is a Florida Judge insisting that Abramhoff begin his prison term. Hope the Justice Department will insure his safety while in jail.( I think I smell fish )
