And more Abramoff....

And this finally made the mainstream press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 - The Justice Department's inspector general and the F.B.I. are looking into the demotion of a veteran federal prosecutor whose reassignment nearly three years ago shut down a criminal investigation of the Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, current and former department officials report.

They said investigators had questioned whether the demotion of the prosecutor, Frederick A. Black, in November 2002 was related to his alert to Justice Department officials days earlier that he was investigating Mr. Abramoff. The lobbyist is a major Republican Party fund-raiser and a close friend of several Congressional leaders.

Josh Marshall has been talking about this for a month or so. His blog has been about the best on the Abramoff scandals(note the growing plural.)

And today's update is a doozy. One of Abramoff's business partners paid significant sums to some gentlemen who were just arrested for the murder of a business man who stood in the way of a project.
