| Two new developments in the ever-growning scandal that is threatening to end the political careers of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), House Administration Committee Chair Bob Ney (R-OH), US Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT), Congressman John Doolittle (R-CA), former Christian Coalition Executive Director Ralph Reed (R-GA) and others. The National Republican Senate Committee has a strategy to defend against the damage from the scandal centered around the prominent former Republican lobbyist, political operative, and DeLay insider. The strategy: go on the offensive with a PR effort to tie Abramoff and his tainted money to US Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), US Senators Carl Levin (D-MI), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and more. The theory is the damage from the scandal could be somewhat neutralized if both parties are linked to the corruption. The second major development in the case -- potentially devastating news for the Republicans -- is that former Abramoff business partner, lifelong friend, murder conspiracy suspect, and criminal co-defendant Adam Kidan will plead guilty next week to federal conspiracy and wire fraud charges in Florida. |
