Status Report
From time to time, the ACR Blog likes to give a quick update on all Abramoff-related cases that have yet to reach sentencing ....

Thanks for this great update ACR. This is a good rebuttal to anyone who says the Abramoff case is "dead". Is there any reason why you seem to be ignoring the upcoming premiere of Casino Jack? Seems kind of strange.
I just wanted to mention that Honest Services Fraud is going before the Supreme Court, probably exclusively for the following cases/convictions Conrad Black, Jeffrey Skilling (Enron) and Bruce Weyrauch (Alaska lawmaker).
http://www.mainjustice.com/2010/05/06/for-doj-a-three-case-term/
Actually I read that Main Justice piece totally differently. My interpretation is that while the Solicitor's office is interested in every case that it argues, as far the DOJ is concerned, they are wholly focused on losing their favorite (and easiest to "prove") law.... by having HSF voided. It's not well phrased.
I agree with the previous anon. If you follow the link provided at Main Justice, it goes to the WSJ which says, "Solicitor General Elena Kagan said Wednesday that the Justice Department's approach to a wide range of criminal prosecutions hung on forthcoming Supreme Court rulings on appeals by Conrad Black and Jeffrey Skilling, former high-flying executives convicted of "honest services" fraud.
In other words, the DOJ is waiting on baited breath hoping that HSF won't be totally eviserated by SCOTUS. 'Cause then they might need evidence of a crime to go after people!

I agree with both points made by 1:15 p.m.:
1. It appears that Elena Kagan thinks the SCOTUS ruling "could have a broad practical impact" beyond the three cases at hand. (Whether Ms. Kagan believes this should be the case is unclear.)
-and-
2. The article could have been worded better.
I don't have the animus toward HSF that 1:15 has, though.

I read it wrong at first, my apologies. But I am hopeful about the DOJ focus. If HSF is flawed, I'd rather see it fine-tuned now.
I think a tidal wave of public corruption cases is coming, at least I hope so (based on personal experience) and I'd like to see convictions that stick a little better.
I think the uptick is related to stimulus dollars, which will be a temptation too great for "the type".
Here's an current example in Montana:
