...Looks like there's more than one way to skin this cat: when the Whitehouse refuses to provide records of Boris Badenov's visits, just approach the problem from the opposite end: subpoenae Abramoff's old law firm to cough-up
their records of Abramoff's Whitehouse visits and business. BAHAWAHAWAHA !!!
Abramoff Lobbying of White House Probed
The House Government Reform Committee has subpoenaed the former law firm of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff for records of any contacts he or members of his lobbying team had with the Bush White House.
Chairman Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) authorized a subpoena weeks ago to Greenberg Traurig, according to several of the law firm's former clients who have been notified that it is turning over billing records, e-mails, phone logs and other material that reflects efforts to lobby the White House.
Representatives of four of Abramoff's former tribal clients said they have been notified by Greenberg Traurig that the firm is turning over records. In some cases, there were scores of phone calls or other contacts with the White House. It is not known whether any of those contacts resulted in improper aid to Abramoff. Several tribal representatives said they believe many contacts were with staff members at the White House office of intergovernmental affairs.
J. Keith Ausbrook, chief counsel to the Government Reform Committee, yesterday declined to discuss the scope of any investigation. "We're not commenting at this point on the existence of a subpoena," he said. The panel is charged with oversight of the executive branch.
