Abramoff plea could come next week. And this:

...Prosecutors in Washington have been sifting through evidence of what they believe is a corruption scheme involving at least a dozen lawmakers and their former staff members, many of whom worked closely on legislation with Mr. Abramoff and accepted gifts and favors from him. Although Mr. Abramoff is also in negotiations in that case, it is unclear whether a settlement can be reached in time for both agreements to be announced at once.

Do you think this means a dozen different lawmakers, plus their former staff members, or that "dozen" includes both the lawmakers and former aides?
