U.S. News and World Report whispers:
The FBI and Justice Department appear to be expanding their probe into the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal in hopes of nabbing another member of Congress and aides, according to sources involved in the case. . . .
“We thought it was wrapping up, but they’ve indicated that it is really about to expand,” said one source involved in the case. “It’s not ending anytime soon or even when he goes to jail.”
It’s long been reported that Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA), Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT), former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) and Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) were on the Justice Department’s short list. Is that list getting longer?
