Abramoff associate target of probe

By JOHN HEILPRIN - Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON -- The head of a Republican environmental advocacy group has been told officially by federal investigators that she is a target for criminal prosecution in the Jack Abramoff corruption probe.

...

<Italia> Federici was offered the chance to meet with prosecutors and agents in the case, and to negotiate a plea deal that would require her to plead guilty to at least one felony charge.

Any such cooperation would be voluntary but "time is of the essence," Federici was advised in the letter sent her by a trial attorney with the Justice Department tax division's criminal enforcement section.

1. That is a mischaracterization: "The head of a Republican antienvironmental advocacy group" ...

would be more correct. But, then, 'Republican antienvironmental' would be so redundant. ;-)

2. Why are we picking on former Young Republicans ?

They are all so patriotic and are chock full of integrity. There really is no reason to investigate them.

4. Ya know they've had a problem with that

It seems that minorities and poor people end up getting all the good billets to go to war. It really just tears those patriots up.
