Abramoff Figure Rep. Ney to Plead Guilty" Add Ney to the LONG scandal list
He faces 10 years in prison!:woohoo:


Abramoff Figure Rep. Ney to Plead Guilty
By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer


Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, is shown during an interview ...
WASHINGTON - The Jack Abramoff influence-peddling investigation claims its first member of Congress with Rep. Bob Ney set to plead guilty to taking bribes.

Ney, an Ohio Republican in his sixth term, faces up to 10 years in prison in a scandal that has tainted the White House as well as Capitol Hill.

With Republicans reeling from the House page scandal, the Abramoff investigation and growing public discontent over President Bush's handling of the Iraq war, some of Ney's House colleagues are threatening to push for his expulsion if he does not resign.

Ney, scheduled enter his plea Friday, signed papers a month ago admitting to charges of conspiracy and making false statements. He also acknowledged that he had deprived the public of his honest services.<snip>

3. I read yesterday that they were expecting him to only get 27 months
I don't know that would be enough time for him to squeal on anybody else. The 10 years would do it though. He should get a sentence more in line with what Duke got, IMHO.

Can't wait either way. If he resigns, more chatter about how corrupt they are; If he doesn't, more chatter about how corrupt they are and how they don't do anything about it.

Should be a very interesting weekend!

7. Cunningham doesn't seem to be very comfortable in his prison.
Perhaps Ney will join him there?
