The former No. 2 official in the U.S. Interior Department has agreed to plead guilty to lying to Congress about his role in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, officials familiar with the case said on Friday.Gosh, remember when Lying To Congress was a Pinko Leftist thing, you know, back before the GOP was taken over by those Sweat Transvestites that are the Democrats For Nixon Crowd...
J. Steven Griles is the highest-ranking Bush administration official to face charges in the wide-ranging scandal, which helped Democrats win control of the U.S. Congress last year. He was deputy secretary of the interior from 2001 to 2005.
Griles faces one count of obstructing Congress for lying to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee as it examined the influence of disgraced former Republican lobbyist Abramoff's influence within the Interior Department.
