Abramoff scandle continues to percolate along
A former congressional aide pleaded guilty Tuesday to accepting tens of thousands of dollars in gifts from lobbyist Jack Abramoff in an influence-peddling scandal that has touched the White House, Interior Department and congressional Republicans.
Mark Zachares was the 11th person to be convicted in the Justice Department probe.
11th conviction so far and still going. What is so amazing is how brazen it all way. Abramoff wasn't playing fast and loose with obscure or complex laws here, he was simply ignoring them. Direct bribes in exchange for favors. That he was able to get away with it on that kind of scale for that long shows just how corrupt the culture is in DC.
