"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.

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

In other words, a Democrat!

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

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

Up to a half dozen people, including two members of Congress, could face charges after high-powered lobbyist Jack Abramoff's plea deal with the Justice Department

Did any of the charges that Abramoff plead to have anything to do with bribing or trying to influence members of Congress?

There are 5. Nice of CNX to cheery pick the facts and selectively report them. Byron Dorgan and Harry Reid, two of the 5 Congress critters under investigation are VERY high powered Democrat Leader's. Anyone even KNOW who Ney is? Never heard of the guy personally.

Link to releated FR thread that will link you to the Washington Times story.

Re: Abramoff-linked probe focuses on 5 lawmakers
