DeLay's former deputy chief of staff Tony Rudy plea agreement? National Journal's Peter Stone reports in a piece on troubles for the Alexander Strategy Group:
... The close links that Abramoff had with Ed Buckham, who runs the firm and is a former chief of staff to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and with Buckham's partner Tony Rudy, a former deputy chief of staff to DeLay, is causing headaches for Alexander Strategy. The Justice Department's public integrity and fraud units are investigating Abramoff's lobbying activities and the possible bribery of public officials.
According to legal sources familiar with the probe, Rudy, who was a partner of Abramoff's at the firm Greenberg Traurig, may be close to a plea bargain agreement with prosecutors. Meanwhile, Buckham is reportedly being scrutinized by investigators interested in whether some clients that Abramoff shared with Alexander Strategy may have been used to help pay the $115,000 that DeLay's wife, Christine, received from Alexander Strategy over four years while serving as a consultant to the firm. ....
As a reader wrote me, Rudy is someone who knows where the proverbial bodies are buried.
