Jack is singing a pretty tune

And the prosecutors want to hear more. According to CNN, Federal prosecutors have requested and a federal judge has granted a delay in sentencing until June.
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.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle signed the order proposed by prosecutors in the Public Integrity and Fraud sections, along with Abramoff's defense counsel, Abbe Lowell.
Is this really sweet music? Or is it just a delay to slot the promotions of the more capable prosecutors away from this case?

Have these damned Bushoviks really made me that cynical?
