This Washington Post story nicely details the way Abramoff took money from Russian energy tycoons and pumped into American electoral politics. Mostly for Tom Delay through an outfit called the US Family Network which existed primarily on paper.
Please visit TalkingPointsMemo, because they're going to be on this shit faster than white on rice. They're talking about up to 20 lawmakers and staffers going down, and there's apparently some talk that Abramoff will try and take a Democrat down with him, just to keep things bi-partisan.
That would be pretty funny, given his history as a reactionary apparatchik.
