Jack Abramoff has gone before court with proverbial tail between legs admitting his guilt before the judge and God, in that order. Yet I cannot help feel that prison may be the least of his woes. From the Washington Post:
"The guilty plea by Abramoff provides a major boost to federal prosecutors in an influence-peddling investigation that could become one of the largest corruption scandals in recent memory, involving as many as a half dozen lawmakers, a former top official at the Department of Interior and former and current congressional aides."
Not trying to be morbid, but considering how many people that have financially shacked up with him, I am genuinely surprised that he is still walking. I have yet to read whether or not any measures to secure this gem opportunity for prosecutors have been taken. At least at face value, it appears that Abramoff's fear of prison has overshadowed any loyalties to his customers and increased his threat level. I may be wrong, but considering the gravity of this case, whatever they can get out of him, they probably should do it soon.

Agree. Sure looks like Jack should watch his back especially if he is incarcerated. Many criminals, in prison or in the judiciary, may see value in wishing on him an "accident".

Speaking as an early (not yet botoxed) retiree who writes (my partner, who does the working, calls me her "personal gigolo") what money making schemes have you in mind to keep you in literary luxury?
Sheri - I was just thinking the same thing. According to the Wall St. Journal he may implicat 60 Congress and Senate Memebers. That is a whole lot of enemies.
Peace.
