Former Tom Delay (R-Tx) Aid Expected To Plead

A second top DeLay aid is expected to plead out in the ongoing and ever growing Abramoff influence peddling investigation.

Tony Rudy, the former deputy chief of staff to DeLay, was expected to enter the guilty plea in federal court as part of a deal with Justice Department prosecutors, the sources said. He would be the second former DeLay aide to plead guilty in the probe.

Abramoff, the lobbyist at the heart of a scandal that has rattled top Republicans, has been cooperating in the federal investigation into whether Washington politicians gave his clients favorable treatment in exchange for campaign contributions, Super Bowl tickets and other illegal gifts.


I wonder what tales he will be telling the investigators.
