Another Abramoff-related guilty plea

No, it's not John Doolittle.  Yet.

In the angle of the Abramoff story concerning the Interior Department, Jared Carpenter has pleaded guilty to tax evasion.  Carpenter was the vice-president of the Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy (CREA), a non-profit started by now-imprisoned Italia Federici and former Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton.  CREA received large donations from Abramoff, his cronies, and their clients, at the same time he was lobbying the Interior Department on tribal gaming issues.
