White House to release logs of Abramoff visits

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite repeated White House objections to the release of documents related to Jack Abramoff's visits to the White House, the Secret Service has agreed to produce all logs detailing the disgraced lobbyist's meetings, according to a court filing released Monday.
[...]
The court filing, signed by Judge John Garrett Penn of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, also stipulates the Secret Service will release the documents "without redactions or claims of exemptions" this month.
[...]
When reporters in January pressed him on his relationship with Abramoff, the president said, "I've never sat down with him and had a discussion with the guy." [ED: Just like he doesn't know 'Kenny Boy' Lay]

White House aides have confirmed that Abramoff attended holiday parties at the White House and had some "staff-level meetings" as well.

While White House officials have been careful not to rule out the possibility that other Bush-Abramoff meetings occurred, they have refused to turn over any documents detailing who at the White House has met with Abramoff and under what circumstances.

But wait, there's more!

It is not clear if the logs will resolve the issue of how Mr. Abramoff and one of his lobbying clients, the chief of an Indian tribe in Texas, were able to attend the May 2001 reception with Mr. Bush, since Mr. Abramoff's name was not on the guest list for the event. The White House has said it cannot explain how Mr. Abramoff was able to enter the White House complex that day.

The WH can't explain how someone got on the grounds!? The most secure building in the world, and their excuse is 'I dunno'. We don't accept that from teenagers, but we're just supposed to swallow it from the misleader of the (used to be) free world!? (Did you ever wonder if Monica had swallowed that load we'd be expected to swallow this load!?)

But wait, if you act now, there's even more!

White House Cautions on Abramoff Logs

The Secret Service's records documenting convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff's contacts with Bush administration officials may not reveal all such meetings, the White House said Tuesday.

The Secret Service has agreed to turn over White House visitor logs showing when Abramoff met with administration officials - and with whom. [ED: The SS didn't agree to turn over the records, they were forced to by a Federal judge.] But presidential spokesman Scott McClellan cautioned reporters from viewing the release as all-inclusive.

"I don't know exactly what they'll be providing, but they only have certain records and so I just wouldn't view it as a complete historical record," McClellan said.

Is the lying Scott really suggesting that the SS doesn't know who enters or exits the WH grounds!? Or where they go once they're on the grounds!?

Bushco is so much worse on security than I ever imagined. I mean, even if you give him a pass for ignoring the PDB before 9/11 (see Bin Laden determined to attack in the US) and his willingness to turn over American port security to a foreign state with ties to terrorism (see Dubai, and check out Dubai part deux) and forgive him for endangering troops that still don't have body armor, ya gotta wonder why doesn't he know who enters his offal office!?
