The public-interest group, Judicial Watch, has sued the Secret Service for access to White House visitor logs, detailing the 200+ times Jack Abramoff's lobbying force had met with administration officials.
WASHINGTON (AP)--A public-interest group has sued the Secret Service for access to White House visitor logs that the group says would show how often lobbyist Jack Abramoff met with President Bush and his staff.
Judicial Watch filed suit in U.S. District Court in Washington under the federal Freedom of Information Act, claiming that the Secret Service failed to meet a Feb. 21 deadline for releasing the records or indicating how much more time it would need.
The White House has refused to say how many times Abramoff, who raised $100,000 for Bush's re-election, has been to see the president or his aides. Bush's spokesman has said Abramoff was admitted to the White House complex for "a few staff-level meetings" and Hanukkah receptions in 2001 and 2002.
In an e-mail Abramoff sent to a magazine editor, he said he had brief conversations with Bush almost a dozen times and the president knew him well enough to make joking references to Abramoff's family.
Lobbying records obtained by the AP show his lobbying team met nearly 200 times with administration officials during the first 10 months of Bush's presidency on behalf of one of his clients, the Northern Mariana Islands.
OK, by now we all know that GW and Cheney know who Abramoff is and have met him on several occasions. We have seen the picture of the younger Bush and Abramhoff holding hands and kissing up in the media.
How about an ounce of truth for once about a guy whose corruption is going to make Duke Cunningham's crimes look rather like minor and petty theft?

Studio that scrubbed Abramoff/Bush photo earned $140,000 from 2004 campaign.
The game is up, career politicians, and we know the truth. Some things you just can't bullshit us on. This is definitely one of those things.
I guess a picture really is worth a thousand words.
