WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal judge Friday delayed sentencing of Jack Abramoff, a move the prosecutors requested to further the former lobbyist's cooperation with their investigation.

In January, Abramoff plead guilty to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion charges, charges in Washington.

Federal investigators, citing Abramoff's cooperation, wanted to defer until at least June a status conference, initially set for next week, that could have led to Abramoff's sentencing.

The delay is "in order to allow Mr. Abramoff's cooperation to continue uninterrupted," according to a joint motion for a new status conference filed late Thursday.

12. Great news, BUT

Did CNN forget what Republican Jack Abramoff plead guilty to? I notice after the word "conspiracy," they left the words "to bribe government officials" out of their story.

ABCNNBCBS seems to manage to forget that this is a bribery scandal.

15. Sentence Delayed? Justice Applied! Yippeee!

This ought to increase Imodium sales within the White House. when those muscles start twitching, well, nothing good comes out of it.

Mr. Rove must be a very unhappy camper at the moment. I suspect that Mr. Cheney and his fellow future inmates might have had some warning about what is happening, which explains his latest facial expressions. For him Kaopectate might provide a small amount of temporary relief.
