According to MSNBC, Abramoff has been sworn in and is currently entering his plea in federal court. Am reading through the plea deal and will post more as I get it.

Thought everyone would like a fresh thread while we are sifting through all the information.

(And yes, that is a hatching chicken. Couldn’t help myself.)

UPDATE: For those coming in fresh to the Abramoff story (and where have you been?!?):

– More on the Kidan plea.

– On Bob Ney.

– And some background on the Scanlon plea and the law that the DoJ has been trying to work within to get to dirty members of Congress.

UPDATE #2: TalkLeft has more, including some great background on Abramoff’s defense lawyers.
