A woman scorned
Washington Monthly, June, 2006 by Charles Peters
A jilted fiance has provided the key to the case against Jack Abramoff and ultimately the one against Tom DeLay. It seems that Michael Scanlon, DeLay's top staff connection to Abramoff, had planned to marry another DeLay staff member, Emily Miller. After they got engaged, according to The Wall Street Journal, "Scanlon bought a $4.7 million oceanside mansion and guest house, formerly part of the DuPont Estate in Rehoboth Beach, Del ... furnished it down to the monogrammed towels" and told his bride-to-be it would be theirs. Then, adds the Journal, with the wedding a few months away, he called it off and started dating a 24-year-old waitress.
Emily Miller was not delighted by this development. So when prosecutors sought her help in building a case against Scanlon, she said sure. Now Scanlon has been indicted and has agreed to cooperate with the prosecutors, as has another DeLay staffer, Tony Rudy.
