ABC News’ Z. Byron Wolf Reports:

After a week of roller coaster political wrangling, principal negotiators from both parties and houses of Congress met in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Saturday to hash out a final deal on a sweeping plan to rescue the nation’s economy.

Pelosi left the negotiators alone in her office and walked elsewhere in the Capitol, but told reporters that she expects a deal tonight, with votes to come early next week.

“We are going to make decisions, hopefully this evening, so that we can put something on the Internet tomorrow for the American people to look at,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi also commented on Republicans decision not to attend negotiations earlier in the week, saying, “It was unpatriotic for them to not even show up.”

Meantime, few details were few coming out of the room. ABC News’ Jake Tapper reported that the blackberries of staffers were seized and put in a trashcan to cut down on leaks.

What else would you expect, open government maybe? Nope.
