Only yesterday, when I was reporting on Jack Abramoff’s part ownership of now-bankrupt SunCruz — a casino boat operation down in Florida — I was told there was a decent chance Abramoff would get indicted for fraud some time soon in that case too. And mind you, this is a different case, a different grand jury, than the one looking into his other shenanigans in DC and elsewhere.

And sure enough, the AP just moved a story saying that Abramoff will be indicted later today.

For those of you keeping score, this is the casino boat company in which one of Abramoff’s co-owners was later whacked in a gangland style hit after the things started to go South.

And yes, there’s also a Conrad Burns connection. SunCruz was the company Abramoff used to bring Burns’ staffers to the Super Bowl back in 2001.
