HOLY TERROR for Corrupt Duo: Abramoff, Scanlon and key former aides continue to talk
Will the super heroic (sic) Corrupt Duo, Bush and Cheney,
by brought down by the rats singing in prison?

Who else has worn a wire for investigators, and where?

The list of cooperating witnesses and conspirators is much longer than those mentioned in this article.

Abramoff, Scanlon and key former aides continue to talk

....
In August, Justice Department prosecutors investigating Abramoff and his wide-ranging corruption schemes reduced Will Heaton’s sentence to probation and recommended only home confinement for Neil Volz. The two former aides to Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) played key roles in sending their former boss to jail for 30 months.

Prosecutors are continuing to talk to Abramoff and Michael Scanlon, his close associate and a former top aide to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas). In late August, the government postponed scheduled status hearings with Judge Ellen Huvelle for both men, giving them three more months to continue to spill information.

In late July, prosecutors also agreed to give Tony Rudy more time to cooperate, scheduling another status hearing for him Nov. 5.

Mark Zachares, who worked for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and then for Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has a status conference hearing with the judge scheduled for Nov. 2.

2. Rogers worked for the political consulting firm of Russo Marsh & Rogers in Sacramento.
There may be more to this than just Doolittle. Rogers is a dirty trickster.

"Stop Michael Moore" Campaign a GOP Front
Source: Alternative Press Review, June 13, 2004
http://www.prwatch.org/node/2707


"So desperate are Bush Republicans to kill Michael Moore's latest film, Fahrenheit 9/11, they have hired a public relations firm to set up a web site attacking Moore," the Alternative Press Review writes. "The site, MoveAmericaForward.com, claims to be 'non-partisan,' but a glance at the 'About' page of the site reveals the director and staff of Move America Forward are all diehard Republicans, anti-tax activists, and former legislative staffers. The PR firm is Russo Marsh & Rogers. Thanks to the detective work of WhatReallyHappened.com, it was revealed that Move America Forward's web site was registered in the name of Russo Marsh & Rogers. ... In short, Move America Forward's campaign is a Republican dirty trick designed to smear Moore and pressure move theater owners not to run his film." Meanwhile, Moore has hired Democratic political strategists Mark Fabiani and Chris Lehane "to fire off rapid responses to the conservative attacks," according to Salon.com.

(From http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1720606) Republican public relations firm Russo Marsh and Rogers organized the Move America Forward organization. It’s based in the same offices as the Russo PR firm. Same receptionist answers calls for both organizations. Website was registered to the firm until they figured out that it wouldn’t look good if people knew that a PR firm was behind this ‘patriotic grassroots activist group.’

3. Scanlon--isn't that the guy whose fiance/aide turned him in
after he threw her over for a manicurist? (Gets off shifless lazy ass and does her own research): Yep. And not only that--the fiance/aide was Emily Miller of "Emily, Get Out Of The Way!" fame!
