I missed this great story by the Hill's Susan Crabtree this morning on the tale of the man who leaked the story of infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff to the media.

His name is Tom Rodgers, a former aide to Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and a lobbyist to Native American tribes. With the help of the tribes that Abramoff was supposedly representing, Rodgers gathered information and gave it to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and to media including National Journal and the Washington Post. The tribes had grown suspicious about Abramoff and sought out Rodgers' help to prove their concerns.

Many in Washington believed it was Emily Miller, a one-time aide to former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, who had leaked the story to the media. Miller had been engaged to Michael Scanlon, one of Abramoff's partners in crime.
