INCOMPLETE & UNACCEPTABLE ABRAMOFF/WH DOCS - SHOW ONLY TWO VISITS!

Abramoff visits? Records: Just two
New records raise more questions; Abramoff said he met Bush dozen-plus times

Per the release on the website,

According to the “U.S. Secret Service Access Control Records Report,” Abramoff visited the White House on two occasions. On January 20, 2004, Abramoff entered the White House at 10:42:20 a.m. and exited at 11:29:34 a.m. On March 6, 2001, Abramoff entered the White House at 16:23:35 p.m. and exited at 16:49:50 p.m. The documents provide no further information on the nature of these meetings. White House Secret Service logs previously obtained by Judicial Watch from the Clinton administration provided additional details such as the “Visitee” and “Room Number,” along with the name of the person who requested the visit. The Secret Service had agreed to provide the documents without redaction. Moreover, the two documents provided are not consistent with each other in terms of format and content.

Not only that, but it appears that the format of the logs are inconsistent with others previously released, and clearly this not only goes against all other information that was previously available but is more of the "fuck you" attitude and disdain that this administration has for We the People. JudicialWatch's release continues:

“At first glance, these documents seem incomplete when compared to other White House visitor logs obtained by Judicial Watch. We therefore have reason to believe there are additional details about Jack Abramoff’s visits to the White House that have not been disclosed,” said JW President Tom Fitton. “However, now we know there are at least two visits by admitted felon Jack Abramoff that the White House must explain. What was Jack Abramoff doing at the White House? With whom did he meet? The public deserves to know answers to these questions.”

Yes, we do deserve to know the answers. A legal question - since it is evident that this is not in accordance with the court order, why can't the Secret Service responsible for releasing these documents be held in contempt of court?

1. It seems particularly odd that these are two NEW visits. Since the other

visits are provable (with or without the logs), why would they have held those logs back? And instead, have given us these two anomalous reports of two new visits?

4. What did I miss?

I thought I read that there were records that showed Abramoff had visited the WH 200+ times in the last year or something?

9. such bs

from tpmmuckraker

Remember that the only visits the Secret Service's records show are on January 20, 2004 and March 6, 2001.

That means these records don't account for any of the meetings the White House has publicly confirmed: Hannukah receptions in 2001 and 2002, as well as the infamous May 9, 2001, "$25,000 Meeting," of which we have a picture.

In short, the records are a joke.

For once, Scott McClellan was right
