Looks like Abramoff is in another possible arrest

According to Open Secrets

Abramoff has again been implicated in Erickson’s schemes related to Butina, though the full extent and scope of Abramoff’s role is unclear.

Anti-fraud investigators at Wells Fargo bank, acting on a tip from federal investigators, flagged potentially suspicious bank transfers from an account held jointly by Butina and Erickson to what appeared to be a shell company tied to Abramoff’s family. Erickson sent wire transfers for $15,000 to a California company incorporated in March 2017 out of the home of Abramoff’s son who is listed as its CEO and sole director while Abramoff’s brother is the registered agent.

I thought Jack Abramoff had turned a new page, been reformed and was preaching good governance and clean living????

The cat can't hide his spots. Or apparently his corrupt nature.

So be it for rehabilitation. LOL.

on Parole or Probation is at it once again. Interesting. How many Rethugs will now be outed? Oh this is just getting to damn much fun.

Is this why Paul Ryan bailed?
