Ex-Interior Official, Abramoff Investigation Target, Leaves Lobbying Firm
It looks like J. Steven Griles, formerly the #2 at the Interior Department is a full-time target now.
The Washington Post reported last week that Justice Department prosecutors had notified him that he was a target of the Jack Abramoff investigation -- usually a sign that an indictment is coming down the pike -- and now Legal Times reports that he left his lobbying gig the same day. His firm's website is also down (though maybe it's just a coincidence); Griles was one of three partners at the firm.
The Times adds: "A source with knowledge of the investigation says prosecutors are exploring whether to charge Griles with lying to Congress and honest-services fraud." It would seem to be just a matter of time.





What was the name of that band that had that song about a long, hot summer?
