The scenario Brian Ross lays out is pretty familiar. Abramoff holds fundraiser for Hastert; Hastert puts in a request to the secretary of Interior; Abramoff clients benefit. Seems like business as usual in Washington. What else are they doing at the Palm? It doesn’t help, though, that Hastert turns out to be the recipient of the most money from Abramoff. Now you begin to see why he might be extra sensitive about FBI raids on Capitol Hill offices. Even with warrants. Maybe he’s next. (Update: Or maybe he’s not. TLB asks some questions about the ABC News story here.)
