WASHINGTON - Tony Rudy, a former top aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, has agreed to plead guilty to charges in the widening federal investigation of lobbyist fraud, a law enforcement official said Friday.

A hearing was scheduled Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington, where Rudy was expected to enter his plea.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been filed with the court.

Rudy would be the first person to plead guilty to charges in the case since Jack Abramoff, once a leading GOP lobbyist, pleaded guilty to fraud charges in January.

When does the investigation into Filthy Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi begin? Not to mention, the full, unredacted release of the Barrett Report.

And right after we see the cancelled checks from the Rodham boys back to the people buying pardons in The Last Days of IMPOTUS.

Good. Throw all the crooked aides, politicians, and lobbyists in jail.

This is blatant bribery and corruption.
