Lobbyist's Role in Hiring Aides Is Investigated

Published: December 2, 2005
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 - With a federal corruption case intensifying, prosecutors investigating Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist, are examining whether he brokered lucrative jobs for Congressional aides at powerful lobbying firms in exchange for legislative favors, people involved in the case have said.

The attention paid to how the aides obtained jobs occurs as Mr. Abramoff is under mounting pressure to cooperate with prosecutors as they consider a case against lawmakers. Participants in the case, who insisted on anonymity because the investigation is secret, said he could try to reach a deal in the next six weeks

Man, if they flip Abramoff it'll be like a nuke hit Republican Washington.

4. Abramoff is going to jail
and he doesn't strike me as a particularly loyal person. He will sing like a canary.
