Unbelievable.

We’ll have to wait and see if Abramoff, like most people indicted in federal court starts singing like a bird.

This could be the beginning of a very slippery slope of trouble for many connected to Abramoff.

When the powers of the criminal arm of the U.S. Department of Justice are on top of you, most people would sell out their mother.

FBI agents were seeking to arrest a once-powerful Washington, D.C., lobbyist on Thursday after a Fort Lauderdale federal grand jury charged him and a New York businessman with scheming to defraud two lenders in a $147.5 million purchase of SunCruz Casinos.

Agents were to take Republican insider Jack Abramoff into custody on Thursday afternoon in the Baltimore area. His partner in the controversial 2000 SunCruz acquisition, Adam Kidan, was expected to surrender to authorities, according to sources familiar with the probe.

The South Florida indictment charging the duo with defrauding $60 million from two lenders that financed the sale instantly rocked the nation’s corridors of power. Indeed, rumors of their imminent arrests circulated during the past week.

Very, very interesting.
