Abramoff to reach a deal this week?

The WaPo has a big summary Abramoff article today. No new ground except that it says this,

Justice Department prosecutors are pressing him and his lawyers to settle fraud and bribery allegations by the end of this week, sources knowledgeable about the case said. Unless he reaches a plea deal, he faces trial Jan. 9 in Florida in a related fraud case.

Merry Christmas, Tom Delay and Bob Ney. And to the rest of you dozen under the prosecutors microscope, a happy new year.
