White House Aide's Trial Begins Today, But Abramoff Not Testifying
The trial of White House aide David Safavian on charges that he lied about his dealings with Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff started today.
But since Abramoff will not be testifying, the media most likely will give it minimal coverage.
If Safavian is convicted, other convictions and guilty pleas likely will follow. But if he gets off, those currently being investigated likely will take a harder stance and not plead to anything.
We'll just have to wait and see.
