Scanlon Charged With Conspiracy to Defraud
Nov 18, 1:46 PM (ET)

By PETE YOST

WASHINGTON (AP) - Michael Scanlon, partner of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, was charged Friday with conspiring to defraud Indian tribes the two were representing of millions of dollars.

In a one-count criminal information filed by the government, Scanlon was charged with conspiring with another lobbyist, who was not identified.

Although the document lists Scanlon's co-sonspirator only as "Lobbyist A," it has been a matter of public record for more than a year that Scanlon and Abramoff had a fee-splitting arrangement and represented several Indian tribes.

7. Scanlon was former DeLay aide
(let's not forget to tie the bow prettily :evilgrin: )

from the link in the OP:

Scanlon was once a top aide to former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, who stepped down from his leadership post after being charged with violating campaign finance law in Texas.
