Team Abramoff Visited the White House over 200 Times in Bush's First 10 Months in Office


Holy crap!

What did Abramoff do, set up an office in the White House?

Pensito Review: Politics & Media � Team Abramoff Visited the White House over 200 Times in Bush�s First 10 Months in Office:

"The Secret Service released logs showing the comings and goings of convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and members of his staff at the White House that present a jaw-dropping level of access to the Bush Administration after the 2000 election:

Abramoff was a $100,000 fundraiser for Bush [in 2000] 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.

As Keith Olbermann pointed out last night, someone from Abramoff's firm was at the White House every business day for 10 months through October 2001.

That's a whole lotta access. "
