EXCLUSIVE: Abramoff Photos of President Bush, First Lady ‘Just Sitting In His Office’

In an interview yesterday, Washingtonian editor Kim Eisler confirmed to ThinkProgress that he has viewed several photographs of President Bush with Jack Abramoff. Eisler, who authored a book on tribal politics and is an associate of Abramoff’s, says he saw the photos during a visit to Abramoff’s house where they were “just sitting in his office.”

The White House has continually refused to release photos of President Bush with Jack Abramoff. Moreover, Press Secretary Scott McClellan has said that if photos of the two together exist, they are shots taken at “widely attended” Hanukkah receptions in 2001 and 2002. But according to Eisler, none of the photos in Abramoff’s office were taken at Hanukkah receptions.

One photo at Abramoff’s home depicts Bush shaking hands with Abramoff in the Old Executive Office Building, which is adjacent to the West Wing of the White House. Another photograph shows Bush with Abramoff at what appears to be the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington. A third photo, which previously has not been disclosed, is of Abramoff’s wife with Laura Bush.

6. Abramoff was all too anxious to show them off, I'm sure

Might he turn them in as part of his plea bargain?

somebody with some testicular fortitude needs to come forth and print them.

10. It's sad to think that this is so troubling to the WH but things like

illegal wiretaps and illegal wars are just business as usual. Considering all of their dirty deeds, it would be the ultimate in irony if this is what brings them down.
