The Jack Abramoff investigation has thus-far received second billing to the Plame affair in the mainstream news media. But as the investigations proceed, it is clear that "what gives this scandal so much scope is the number of members of Congress, federal officials, and top conservative activists it potentially involves."

How deep and widespread the corruption goes, and how it will affect an already beleagured Bush administration makes this investigation potentially explosive.
