"The sources would not identify the other member, and they told CNN that no charges appear imminent."

Ha ha ha! Well, I guess we know which party the other lawmaker is from.

sources with knowledge of the investigation

Gee, that really tells us a lot. Probably it's the reporter's mother-in-law.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation say at least two members of Congress are under scrutiny as part of the ongoing investigation.

Here is another example where information on an ongoing DOJ case is leaked. Whoever talked to CNN needs to be hauled off to jail.

what happened to the claim of "60 members of congress" going down?

The Lib media is so predictable now, that it's gone beyond predictable, and has graduated to pathetic.

What happened to anonymous? Haven't seen him around lately.

Sources must be the new klymer.

The sources would not identify the other member, and they told CNN that no charges appear imminent.

In other words, a Democrat!

Tom Delay was not mentioned in the Times story.

Most likely a Democrat then. I'm guessing Harry Reid. Adios, Harry!

I stand by my prediction - no more then 3-5 indictments of any congresspersons over this. and that may be high.

Abramoff rolled DOJ on this, he used this innuendo of "widespread corruption" regarding campaign cash to buy himself a lighter sentence via a plea deal.

[saganite]

So this whole thing boils down to charges against 2 guys? I thought it was the scandal of the century.

See post 10.

what happened to the claim of "60 members of congress" going down?

The same thing that happened to the "at least five members of the White Staff being taken out by Fitzgerald.

Re your post #5 - I have no idea what happened. I guess it was Abramoff bragging. Who knows...
