District of Columbia Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton leaves voice mail citing her seniority and stimulus-based projects in lobbyist's "sector".

WASHINGTON – A former lobbyist has decided to plead guilty and cooperate in a Justice Department probe of campaign donations to members of Congress who directed hundreds of millions of dollars to defense contractors without competitive bidding.

A person outside the government who is familiar with the criminal investigation said Thursday that the once-prominent lobbyist, Paul Magliocchetti, will enter a plea on Sept. 24 in federal court in Alexandria, Va.

An electronic entry on the courthouse docket specifies that Magliocchetti will have a "change of plea hearing" in his case on that date.

Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler and one of Magliocchetti's lawyers, William Lawler, declined to comment.

Donkey dollars
Given the close connections that Magliochetti and PMA Group had with Democrats in the House, especially Murtha and Visclosky, it seems likely that the Department of Justice will be aiming at the Hill. The FBI already have Visclosky’s documents from that May 2009 raid, and more subpoenas may be coming.
