Abramoff Scandal Figure To Plead Guilty
Investigations Into Lobbying Scandal Are Gaining More Momentum

(CBS) By CBS News Justice Department producer Stephanie Lambidakis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snip:
Mark Zachares, one of the more minor figures in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, has agreed to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge at a plea hearing Tuesday.

According to one source, the investigations have been picking up speed because Abramoff, who is in jail, has been "spilling his guts" in continued debriefings with federal prosecutors. The source noted wryly that while the Justice Department was once dubious of Abramoff's credibility, prosecutors are embracing much of what he's telling them.

Tuesday's plea indicates that the investigations have new momentum and are likely to lead to additional charges.

The criminal information cites Zachares' "extensive contact" with Abramoff going back to the mid-1990s. Zachares worked for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, then took key staff positions on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee while Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, was the chairman. Abramoff tried and failed to get Zachares a job with the Office of Insular Affairs at the Interior Department.

The headline in the plea is the cryptic reference to "Representative #3." We're told this is a member of Congress who has not been publicly named before in the Abramoff investigation.

It broke last night that Feeney is cooperating with FBI questioning.

I like this quote:
(Feeney's then chief of staff Jason Roe wrote)
"Any assertion that this office knew Abramoff paid for the Scotland trip is a g--d----- lie," Roe wrote in the email being sought by the FBI. The email was quoted in a newspaper article last year.

Better buy more popcorn!

Send a message to the good ole boys of his district!

I bet Bush and his little crime family are shitting their drawers right now.

I can't wait until the history books are written about this, it ought to be one "heckuva" story.

it is like for Abramoff and whether they are happy with his 'cooperation'?

Abramoff knows enough to put the BFEE behind bars for life.

Were there a trial for the crazy monkey, he'd probably suffer the same fate as Cliff Baxter.
