Abramoff White House Visit Records Held by White House, not Secret Service
Everybody smelled a rat when the Secret Service, in response to a lawsuit, said that Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff had visited the White House only two times.
Especially, when it was revealed that the two times the Secret Service said he was there were not the same times the White House had already admitted to.
Now, thanks to TPMmuckraker, we know why.
After 60 days, the records are transferred from Secret Service to White Houes control. The Secret Service's response was technically correct, based on the records under its control.
I guess Bush and company thought they would pull a fast one.
America deserves better. Let's work to restore Democratic majorities in Congress in November.
