Political bomb about to go off on Capitol Hill
Is rethug pet lobbyist Jack Abramoff about to spill the beans on DeLay and the GOP?
The potential dimensions are enormous.
What began as an inquiry into Mr. Scanlon and Mr. Abramoff's lobbying has widened to a corruption investigation centering mainly on Republican lawmakers who came to power as part of the conservative revolution of the 1990's. At least six members of Congress are in the scope of the inquiry.
Several people involved in the case, insisting on anonymity because of the plea negotiations, said they anticipated that Mr. Abramoff would try to reach an agreement with the prosecutors in a rapidly closing window of time.
