EXCLUSIVE EMAILS: Jack Abramoff Describes Relationship With President Bush
ThinkProgress has obtained emails written by Jack Abramoff in which the fallen lobbyist personally describes his relationship with President Bush. They depict a relationship far more extensive than has been previously reported.

The emails written by Abramoff were addressed to Kim Eisler, the national editor of Washingtonian magazine. The Washingtonian recently reported on the existence of several photographs showing Abramoff and Bush together. Eisler is also the author of Revenge of the Pequots, a book about tribal politics for which Abramoff was interviewed.

In the emails, Abramoff describes meeting Bush “in almost a dozen settings,” and details how he was personally invited to President Bush’s private ranch in Crawford, Texas, for a gathering of Bush fundraisers in 2003. Abramoff did not attend, citing a religious observance.

Abramoff emailed Eisler about his invitation to Crawford and his decision not to attend:

2. The only way those emails get mentioned on MSM
is if they are attached to a missing blonde.

9. Sure they can - they can spin them one hundred ways from Sunday
Now if Jack himself does a presser and says "my very good buddy George" then we have some serious happy face to put on.

If Wolfie gets them, however, I can see this: "So, tell me Senator Sessions, why do you think Mr. Abramoff fabricated all these emails? Was he trying to court favor with the President, a man that most people believe only met Mr. Abramoff once, and only for a brief moment?"

7. Public opinion is not relevant in the Abramoff case.
The RW Corp Media is trying hard to dampen down this case because the Neo Fascist Bush Admin. is their client.

6. Look at this, from the Think Progress link:
(snip)

But according to Eisler, Abramoff told him that the two have met almost a dozen times, shared jokes, and spoke about details of Abramoff’s family:

HE HAS ONE OF THE BEST MEMORIES OF ANY POLITICIAN I HAVE EVER MET. IT WAS ONE IF HIS TRADEMARKS, THOUGH OF COURSE HE CAN’T RECALL THAT HE HAS A GREAT MEMORY! THE GUY SAW ME IN ALMOST A DOZEN SETTINGS, AND JOKED WITH ME ABOUT A BUNCH OF THINGS, INCLUDING DETAILS OF MY KIDS. PERHAPS HE HAS FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING. WHO KNOWS.



It is a VERY safe assumption - if this guy was a money guy, you can bet on your children's futures and their grandma's grave - bush knew this guy. If there was ANY big money person, bush knew him. Probably knew him fairly intimately, considering the great bounty he provided to all things republi-CON. bush knew him in much the same way he knew Kenny-boy (of whom he also later disavowed any knowledge). Wonder if he gave "Jackie-boy" a nickname while he was at it - during all those up-close-n-personal encounters he claims he doesn't remember now? And WHY doesn't Abramoff release the photos? Is he afraid of kkkarl's list?

The biggest bag man for the repukes and bush has no clue?? ROFL!

I think jackoff has a few sets of photos all in different places in case he gets the Baxter treatment. No sense spilling them now, he has time.
