Abramoff email to DeLay:Tom is screwed

NYTimes: "Prosecutors have e-mails showing Rep Tom DeLay's office knew lobbyist Jack Abramoff had arranged the financing for the GOP leader's controversial European golfing trip in 2000 and was concerned ''if someone starts asking questions.'' The e-mails show DeLay's staff asked Abramoff -- not the advocacy group -- to account for the costs that had to be legally disclosed on congressional travel forms. DeLay's office was worried the group being cited as paying the costs might not even know about them. Abramoff's team sought to low-ball the cost estimates and DeLay's office ultimately reported to Congress a total that was a few 1000 dollars lower than the one the lobbyist provided." And oh yeah... Karl Rove's current assistant, Susan Ralston is tied in w/these emails. I gotta wonder how hard The Hammer is gonna get pounded in prison.
