Whether Republican or Democrat, if he's a criminal he should go to jail. Why is it that the high and mighty sometimes think they are above the law? "Pride goeth before a fall."
"The Florida indictment charged Mr. Abramoff and Mr. Kidan with one count of conspiracy and five counts of wire fraud - each count carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine - and asked that they be forced to pay $60 million in criminal penalties.
Mr. Abramoff has long been one of Washington's best-connected and best-paid lobbyists. In a statement released with the indictment, the agent in charge of the F.B.I.'s Miami field office, Michael S. Clemens, appeared to be referring to Mr. Abramoff's former influence in Republican circles when he said that the criminal charges demonstrate 'that regardless of position, status, wealth or associations, fraudulent activity will not be tolerated.'"
