NEW YORK, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Texas oilman Oscar Wyatt on Monday will plead guilty to one count for his role in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal, a defense lawyer said.
He had been accused of paying millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's government to win oil contracts from Iraq.
Wyatt will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one of five counts against him at U.S. federal court in Manhattan, defense layer Gerald Shargel said.
And he had a good lawyer too.
He’s lucky to have it down to one count of wire fraud. Its doubtful Oscar will do any serious jail time.
In Wyatt’s address book delivered as evidence against him there exist only two prominent politicians: Teddy Kennedy, and the other Kennedy brat elected to Congress, and both were followed by private telephone numbers.
Hmmmm. I wonder if all these people will return the money ?

See how they title the article “Texas Oilman...” to get people thinking about Bush. Then they bury it way in to bottom of the article that he was actually a Clinton confidant.
Agreed
Looks like this guy was in bed with all the whores.
