Whaddaya think...? Is Abramoff gonna sing like a canary...?

i t'ot i taw a puddy tat... I DID, I DID... I TAW A PUDDY TAT...!
Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist under indictment for fraud in South Florida, is expected to complete a plea agreement in the Miami criminal case, setting the stage for him to become a crucial witness in a broad federal corruption investigation, people with direct knowledge of the case said.

Mr. Abramoff's lawyers and prosecutors in the Florida case appear closer to resolving several of the central issues in the plea deal, in which the defendant would receive a reduced prison sentence - most likely in the range of five to seven years, though that is fluid - in exchange for pleading guilty and agreeing to testify against his former associates.

[P]rosecutors in Washington have been sifting through evidence of what they believe is a corruption scheme involving at least a dozen lawmakers and their former staff members, many of whom worked closely on legislation with Mr. Abramoff and accepted gifts and favors from him. Although Mr. Abramoff is also in negotiations in that case, it is unclear whether a settlement can be reached in time for both agreements to be announced at once...

wouldn't it be completely fabulous if rove got indicted, abramoff fingered delay, ney and half a dozen others, impeachment proceedings were initiated against bush, and rumsfeld and cheney both resigned as we started the new year... i'd be so happy, i would just shit...
