Fallen super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his former business partner soon will be subpoenaed by defense attorneys to give sworn statements in the Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis murder case. The attorney for murder suspect Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello filed paperwork this week asking to question Abramoff and Long Island businessman Adam Kidan about the SunCruz Casino founder's gangland-style slaying. Broward Circuit Judge Michael Kaplan granted the request Thursday after prosecutors agreed to it. <snip> "The point we made in court was we weren't saying he would be a suspect in place of the present defendants, it's a question of whether he will be an additional defendant," <snip> The SunCruz fraud case enabled prosecutors to leverage Abramoff into cooperating with a potentially wide-ranging federal investigation into congressional bribery and influence peddling. Moscatiello's attorney, David Bogenschutz, wrote in court papers that he needed to question the two men because "the SunCruz Casino sale is at the heart" of the murder case. Boulis was ambushed Feb. 6, 2001, shortly after he left his Fort Lauderdale office. One car stopped in front of his BMW; a second car pulled up alongside the self-made millionaire and he was sprayed with bullets. In the months leading up to his murder, Boulis and Kidan had been locked in an acrimonious battle over SunCruz. Boulis had cut a deal to sell SunCruz to a partnership including Kidan and Abramoff, but the business agreement had soured and Boulis wanted to regain control. A Broward County grand jury indicted Moscatiello, 67; Anthony "Little Tony" Ferrari, 49; and James "Pudgy" Fiorillo, 28, in September for Boulis' slaying. All three have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. They could face the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors have suggested the three defendants killed Boulis to ensure he didn't take back SunCruz. While Kidan ran SunCruz, he paid $145,000 in consulting fees to companies tied to Moscatiello, who had admitted ties to the Gambino crime family and to late mob boss John Gotti, according to court records A company controlled by Ferrari received an additional $95,000 for security from Kidan's SunCruz, court records show. Attorneys for Moscatiello and Fiorillo have been arguing that the state's case isn't strong enough for them to be in jail without bond. Their bond hearing will continue this afternoon. more...

Follow the blood money.

Follow the money from gangland street murders, all the way to the White House.

I have a bad feeling all this Abramoff stuff is leading to a dry hole. There is way too much hype surrounding what he is EXPECTED to say before he SAYS any of it.

I suspect we are being set up once again by the government/media conglomerate and nothing will come of this in the long run. Old jack may well be a non-issue 6 months from now.

SunCruz Casinos has turned over photographs and other documents to FBI investigators after employees said they recognized some of the men suspected in the terrorist attacks as customers.… Names on the passenger list from a Sept. 5 cruise matched those of some of the hijackers... Two or three men linked to the Sept. 11 hijackings may have been customers on a ship that sailed from Madeira Beach on Florida's gulf coast.”

Less than a week before the 9.11 attack, Atta and several other hijackers were aboard one of Abramoff’s casino boats.

Yep. This puts bush admin (karl rove was in the picture, too) just one degree of seperation from either master minding 911, or contacting those who did. Abramoff was inside the White House in 2001. I cant find the exact date, CORRECTION: I found it in TOP TEN BUSH DECEPTIONS (scroll to number 8)

The meeting took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House on May 9, 2001."

That means Abramoff after meeting with 911 Hijackers, was invited to the White House.
Here are more details:

Link The Bush-Abramoff image, which had been seen by several news outlets, has been compared to the Monica Lewinsky "ropeline" shots, which showed President Clinton greeting the White House intern. The well-connected Republican lobbyist has agreed to give evidence against top politicians whom he allegedly bribed, in what may prove to be the biggest congressional scandal in US history. Mr Abramoff pleaded guilty to engaging in a conspiracy involving "corruption of public officials", as well as fraud and tax evasion after striking a deal with federal prosecutors. The White House insisted that Mr Bush could not recall having met Mr Abramoff, saying that the president has his photograph taken with thousands of people every year. However, this would appear to jar with an email sent by Mr Abramoff last week in which he boasted of his closeness to the president. Saying he had met Mr Bush a dozen times over the past 18 years, and had been invited to Mr Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, Mr Abramoff praised the president for having "one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met". He added that Mr Bush "saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids".

How do they dare compare Monica with 911 involvment?
