Did anyone already post about Jack Abramoff?
The Republican Lobbyiest who has been indicted for fraud, and is currently in FBI custody? I may have missed the thread, but if there isn't one:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/11/abramoff.indictment/index.html

Abramoff has close ties to several influential GOP leaders, among them House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, Americans for Tax Reform director Grover Norquist, and former Christian Coalition chief Ralph Reed.

He also is under investigation by congressional committees and the Justice Department over allegations he and another partner swindled Indian tribes out of millions of dollars they paid to help sway lawmakers on gambling issues.

1. Yeah.
The thread about his arrest was combined with the thread about his indictment, though.

2. Cool, I didn't know he'd been arrested. I knew the indictment came down
but I hadn't heard about the arrest.
