They had Chuck Todd, the editor of "The Hotline," on the John Bachelor Show last night.

According to him there are only four or five major figures being targeted seriously by the DOJ.

I don't know how accurate that information is, but considering the blowback from the ABSCAM scandal I can't imagine them actually going after many scalps in Congress.

This is what was posted on Powerline Blog yesterday -- says Washington Times has the story:

The Washington Times reports that investigators in the Abramoff probe are focusing their attention on five "top tier" Congressional suspects: Senators Conrad Burns, Montana Republican; Byron Dorgan, North Dakota Democrat; and Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, along with Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, and Bob Ney, Ohio Republican. If that's true, the Democrats will have a hard time painting this as a Republican problem. And, as we've said before, what has been publicly disclosed about the claim against Congressman Ney is less than overwhelming.

Now, I have to say I'm profoundly sorry to see JD on the list, because I really, really like him.
