LA Times: Inquiry Into Lobbyist (Abramoff) Sputters After Demotion

Why is Bush meddling with this inquiry?

WASHINGTON — A U.S. grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor and the inquiry ended soon after.

The previously undisclosed Guam inquiry is separate from a federal grand jury in Washington that is investigating allegations that Abramoff bilked Indian tribes out of millions of dollars.

In Guam, an American territory in the Pacific, investigators were looking into Abramoff's secret arrangement with Superior Court officials to lobby against a court revision bill then pending in the U.S. Congress. The legislation, since approved, gave the Guam Supreme Court authority over the Superior Court.

1. Let me say this: I think the Karl Rove case will go the same route

Repukes now how to use power, and are not ashamed to do it. They control the executive branch, the legislative branch and most of the judicial branch. No repuke is going to jail. It ain't going to happen.
