TPM teaser: Another Abramoff indictment

This one at Interior. More shortly. Weeeee! :D

any of this was happening.

Thank the gods for those over there who are raking the muck.

...Despite the fact that the Interior was Abramoff's playground, federal prosecutors working the Abramoff case hadn't taken down a single Interior official to date.

But the Legal Times reports that's changed: Roger Stillwell, "the desk officer for the Mariana Islands at the U.S. Department of the Interior who dealt closely with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff," is expected to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor charge.

The charge: Failing to report gifts from a "prohibited source." Unfortunately, the charging document doesn't say who the "source" is. Maybe we'll find out on July 21st, when Stillwell is due to be arraigned.

Stillman's a small fish -- it would be no surprise if Justice was starting with a small charge on a little guy, and working their way up.

Let's hope this is just the beginning of bringing down what's happening in the Marianas Islands!

edited to add extra paragraphs.

Justice won't be served until the Republican leadership is frog walked in one long line down Pennsylvania Avenue.

This Indian gambling and Marianas Island Sweatshop stuff is bad, but nothing compared to Abramoff and Norquist's other clients -- terrorist bankers and private NSA/CIA contractors and electronic voting machine companies which have conspired with the White House and GOP leaders to destroy the Constitution.

disinfectant. That is an ugly looking infection down there....
