Bush Official Arrested in Corruption Probe

Yep. BushCo top federal procurement official reigns and is arrested for repeating false statements to investigators about the golf trip with Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff to Scotland years back. You remember Abramoff? - Worked for Tom Delay, who is connected to fraud, illegal campaign finance, and overall criminal idiocy…

Accompanying Safavian and Abramoff on the 2002 trip to Scotland, for example, were Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Administration Committee, lobbyist and former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed and Neil Volz, a lobbyist with Abramoff at the Washington office of Greenburg Traurig.

Like Abramoff, Safavian is a veteran Washington player. He is a former lobbying partner of anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist and previously worked with Abramoff at another firm.

Time to round them up. These folks are in way to deep. Nepotism, corruption, stealing, negligence… Sounds like roll call at Rikers. Lying does have its consequences. So, when will the FBI be knocking at Bush's door? Or is this just another ruse to deflect attention away from the real criminals? A couple sacrifice fly’s for a team betting on their own team. The problem here is that the whole administration is corrupt. Swatting at a couple flies on the wall doesn't solve the problem; it only makes it go away for a while.

The Raw Story follows up with bad news for GOP scandal-ridden Ohio:

An email sent by Safavian appears to indicate that the powerful Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) lied when he said he was "duped" by Abramoff and lied again on financial disclosure forms when he said that a nonprofit had paid for the trip...

What a mess. Ney is continuing to deny his connection on this event to the Indian Tribe and Abramoff. What else is new? Maybe it is time for the people of Ohio to show this criminal the door?
