Boom!

Expect an avalanche of this:

The U.S. Family Network, a public advocacy group that operated in the 1990s with close ties to Rep. Tom DeLay and claimed to be a nationwide grass-roots organization, was funded almost entirely by corporations linked to embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to tax records and former associates of the group.
During its five-year existence, the U.S. Family Network raised $2.5 million but kept its donor list secret. The list, obtained by The Washington Post, shows that $1 million of its revenue came in a single 1998 check from a now-defunct London law firm whose former partners will not identify the money's origins.

    It looks like they found the first slush fund. and if Abramoff turns state's evidence, they're gonna find a whole lot more.

    Also, this is the first clear statement I've read of a legislative quid pro quo with Delay. Everyone's been saying it obtusely, but this is the first report that directly says it.

    Tommy's going to jail.
