Records of Abramoff's White House Visits
By TONI LOCY, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has agreed to turn over White House visitor logs that will show how often convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff met with Bush administration officials — and with whom he met.


U.S. District Judge John Garrett Penn last Tuesday approved an agreement between the Secret Service and Judicial Watch, a public interest group, that requires the agency to produce records of Abramoff's visits from Jan. 1, 2001, to the present.

Judicial Watch filed suit in February after the Secret Service failed to respond to its request under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

Abramoff, who represented Indian tribes in their dealings with Washington politicians, once was one of the city's most successful lobbyists.

1. Good news. I just hope they get exposed if they tried to
scrub any of the records.

2. I hope they didn't attempt to do that but I hope if they did
that someone with a conscience steps forward to point it out.

Geesh ... how many careers have they caused to end because the person's conscience wouldn't let them lie for them? Too many ...

3. Busholini said that he doesn't know Abramoff.
Maybe we will find out if Busholini lied... again.

4. We know it's a lie. Maybe we'll find out to what degree? nt
