Feel The Water Gettin' Warmer, Tommy Boy?

Since this doesn't directly involve or indict DeLay, I will only do the Modified Dance of Joy, i.e. with my pants on. From AP:

MIAMI - Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a key figure in investigations involving House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on fraud charges arising from a 2000 deal to buy casino boats.

The indictment, returned by a grand jury in Fort Lauderdale, charges that Abramoff and an associate, 36-year-old New York businessman Adam Kidan, used a fake wire transfer to defraud two lenders out of some $60 million to finance the deal for SunCruz Casinos.

Abramoff and Kidan are charged with five counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud. Each count carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

I think I know how you can get some of that time knocked off, Jackie me boy. The Federal prosecutor will no doubt run the plan by you. Sing loud when he tells you to.
