Abramoff Still Cooperating With Prosecutors


This blog's favorite lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, is still cooperating with prosecutors looking into the corrupt Republican machine.

The Justice Department and defense lawyers asked a federal judge Friday to delay the March sentencing of lobbyist Jack Abramoff in a Florida fraud case to allow him more time to cooperate in a broader government corruption investigation.

Abbe Lowell, Abramoff's lawyer in Washington, said in a telephone conference with U.S. District Judge Paul C. Huck that if sentencing went forward as scheduled on March 16, it would be "upsetting to what's happening behind the scenes."

"It's based solely on the sensitivities of cooperation," Lowell said of the request.


I think that Abramoff should be allowed to take all the time he needs to implicate as many wrongdoers as possible.
