New lawsuit seeks records of White House visits by Abramoff allies

WASHINGTON Democrats are suing the Secret Service for copies of White House logs to determine how often allies and associates of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff have visited the Executive Mansion.

The Democratic National Committee says the Secret Service has failed to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request for the logs.

The Democrats want to know about White House visits by conservative activist Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed, a G-O-P candidate for lieutenant governor of Georgia. They're also asking for logs that show visits by three former Abramoff business associates.

The Secret Service has agreed to provide the logs of Abramoff's visits to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and the Democrats by Wednesday.

1. I love the pressure that just won't let up
on these clowns. The vise is getting really tight and I look forward to the frog march from our White House.

We're going to have to do some real ceremony to cleanse the stench of the slime from government.

2. But Gannon when he came out as gay said the records were faulty and
that he really had not slept over at the White House as implied by those records.

Each sleep over was really just a visit.

And our media has killed the story - I guess because they believe Secret Service records are lies.

I therefore doubt the national media will pay attention to the Secret Service logs of Abramoff's visits - until such time as a Dem is in the WH - at which time it will be open season and actual logs will not be needed - just "knowledgeable people say" will be adequate for the Post, Times, etc.
