Jack Abramoff's partner, lobbyist Michael Scanlon of Capital Campaign Strategies, has been charged in federal court with a one count information alleging conspiracy to defraud millions of dollars from clients of Indian tribes.

Looks like he made a deal. A hearing is Monday.

    EX-FELON & CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE BARRY MICHAELS has a new approach to campaigning - HONESTY I have a somewhat “checkered past” and paid the price several times over. As a convicted white-collar offender, I spent fifteen months of a twenty-one month sentence at a federal prison camp for security and tax violations. This part of my life I'm not proud of, but it is a part of my past and has caused me to learn some very costly lessons. I believe this and other life experiences combined with my extensive business experience, can add a new breath of fresh air to the House of Representatives. This country needs new leaders with vision, one’s that can think outside the box and make a difference for the people of Nevada and our great nation. I know I can supply part of this need. My plans do not include bringing up what others have not done, but only what I can do. No doubt during this campaign both the press and other candidates will bring up my past, but I believe it's just that my past. The mistakes I made are of public record and I can't change them. Lucky for me my offense occurred in California, a state that automatically restores civil rights upon completion of sentence. For the last several years I've been both eligible to vote as well as run for any political office. If elected, I know full well I will be under close scrutiny and I welcome it.
