Raw Story: Abramoff's Firm Had Warning He Was Up To No Good
Raw Story is reporting that Greenberg Traurig was on notice that Abramoff had side deals going with former DeLay aide Michael Scanlon.
Officials at the lawfirm that employed indicted conservative lobbyist Jack Abramoff lied about what they knew about his role in a massive lobbying scandal and when they knew it, former Abramoff associates say.
Greenberg Traurig’s Connecticut Avenue offices in Washington provided the stables for a coterie of aggressive lobbyists who wooed members of Congress with lavish donations, skybox suites and Scottish golfing jaunts. The firm said they first learned of Abramoff’s misadventures when they appeared in the pages of The Washington Post.
This is going to get profoundly ugly folks. Washington, DC will soon be in full damage mitigation mode from the fallout of the Abramoff plea deal.
Watch closely as people begin to knife each other.
