18 months, bitchez:
Former Bush administration official David Safavian was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison Friday for concealing his relationship with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
…Safavian was convicted in June of lying to investigators about his relationship with the lobbyist while Safavian was chief of staff in the General Services Administration. He helped provided Abramoff with details about GSA projects and offered advice on dealing with the agency.
Safavian told the judge that Abramoff manipulated him and cried while he begged for leniency. Aww. Somebody call the
waaaaaaaaaaambulance!
