Must-Read! Abramoff-Rove-Ralston e-mails in Chronological Order

[Dems Will Win]

I put the Abramoff-Ralston-Rove emails into chronological order as the orginal PDF is very long and confusing, skipping around in time.

There are many other e-mails asking for illegal box tickets not included here.

All of it comes from the Waxman/Davis Report:

I haven't found transcripts of any of these memos. I would be
nice to have transcripts in 
text or html format. It would take a bit of work (assuming
they don't exist). 
I would be willing to type up some.

[Dems Will Win]

18. That's why I made gifs of the PDFs and posted them

People can do research more easily and prove Rove is guilty along with Bushler.

20. Excellent work. Goes to show how politically incestuous these people are.

Nice use of the word "whacked," there. Seems to me these folks actually believe they're in a syndicate or mob or the Mafia, like little boys playing very dangerous games.

28. Nice work.

There are more real reporters in the DU than in all the MSM in the country.

[exlrrp]

29. More Smoking Guns Than A John Wayne Movie!!!

Terrific!!!
I see indictments--and convictions!!-- for Rove, Mehlman and many others.
Why do these people trust emails?

[exlrrp]

30. Absolute criminality--crimes established

As I said above, more smoking guns than a John Wayne movie--and all over!!!. Holy Moley if there''s more as obvious as this than this will be bigger than Watergate, wil dwarf eveyrthing. And the canary is sitting in a prison within singing range of DC.
this is Waxman thats gong to be handling this investigation

32. There are also another dozen or two House Repubs Going to be Indicted

They will resign before '08. These were just the WH e-mails...

From:	Abramoff, Jack (DC)
Sent:	Tuesday, December 12, 2000 10:15 AM
To:	Karl Rove

I know you are inundated with all sorts of craziness, but I
just wanted to let you know that, although I do not want to
enter the government, I am at your disposal for anything you
need here in DC. I have a lot of resources at my disposal and
am happy to place them at your service if need be. I am sure
you are well covered with everything, but just in case, please
do not hesitate to ask me for anything you might need. I hope
we'll have a chance to see each other when you (finally!)
arrive. Regards.

Subject: Interior transition

Grover was kind enough to contact Karl Rove to suggest that I be put on the Bureau of Indian Affairs transition team. I did not know there was such a thing until he mentioned it this morning. Do you think you might be able to contact Karl, as I am sure you have more weight there. If possible, could I also be included on the Insular Affairs transition at Interior? That is the one which deals with the territories. I guess I run some risk that other lobbyists being on these will impede by abilities or make me look bad with my clients. Thanks so much, Ralph.

It's not a subject issue, it's a face issue. He has to look like he had important meetings, and Karl is important (Chris, who I am sure is wonderful, is not known out there). Oh well. Thanks for getting the wave set up. Hopefully he'll get a photo
opportunity.

Karl has an impossible schedule this week. I don't think I can work this out, but if you let me know the subject he wants to discuss, I'll see if someone else on staff, like Karl's deputy Chris Henick, can do the meeting.

I told Kevin the Ken Mehlman doesn't think this he can make the meeting/photo op w/ Ben and POTUS work, but I told Kevin I can get him in for POTUS' send off on Friday where he might get to meet POTUS at the rope line. Ken seemed pretty adamant about it.

Houston, we have contact. A guy I hired to work in ___________ office (and who also worked for Ken Mehlman for ___________) is going to be considered for the Wage and Hour Division spot. I couriered our friend his resume and he was very favorable disposed. He sent it to Labor's WH liaison. I will talk to Mehlman at the concert tomorrow night.

As for Stayman, a replacement's resume has been sent to our conduit. We shall see.
