Just how close was the relationship between the White House and disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff? The Bush Administration again faced questions about those ties after an e-mail Abramoff sent a journalist friend surfaced last week in which Abramoff wrote that he had met President Bush almost a dozen times over the past five years, and even received an invitation to the President's Crawford Texas Ranch...
Now finally the first such photo has come to light. It shows a bearded Abramoff in the background as Bush greets an Abramoff client, Raul Garza, who was then chairman of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas; Bush senior adviser Karl Rove looks on. The photograph was provided to time by Mr. Garza. The meeting took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House on may 9, 2001. Told about the photograph in january, the White House said it had no record that Abramoff was present at the meeting. Shown the photograph today, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said the white House had still found no record of Abramoff's presence but confirmed that it is Abramoff in the picture.
Hopefully this will open the floodgates and america will be buried with photos of the crooked lobbyist and the president who enabled him.
