Team Abramoff at the White House every working day

Abramoff was a $100,000 fundraiser for Bush and lobbying records obtained by the AP show his lobbying team logged nearly 200 meetings with the administration during its first 10 months in office on behalf of one of his clients, the Northern Mariana Islands.

First, this would represent a meeting between the White House and Team Abramoff at rate of just under one per working day. Second, note that all of the meetings reported here were marked down to just one client. So, either Team Abramoff credited all their meetings to this client whether true or not, or this was billing fraud, or this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Nope, we never met the man.

The visitor logs are due to be delivered to Judicial Watch on May 10.

  • I'll be really curious to see if Abramoff was in the WhiteHouse sept. 12,13,14, 2001 just after 9-11, trying to push the interests of his gambling and sweatshop clients.

    Unless he has meetings with Bush on the logs or dozens with Rove, that is about the most politically damning thing I can imagine.
