WH Records Exclude Abramoff Visits

We know of at least three visits by Jack Abramoff to the White House that aren’t included in the recently-released visitor logs.

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.
