Jack And The Boss
Josh Marshall catches another good one today from the Washingtonian.
In the wake of former super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff's downfall, the White House has steadfastly maintained that Jack had no connections to the Oval Office. In fact, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan has insisted that "the President does not know him, nor does the President recall ever meeting him."
Well... Washingtonian's Kim Eisler is reporting that the magazine has seen five photographs of the President with Abramoff or his family, and that the photos are in safe keeping for prosecutors. Also recall that Abramoff was a Bush Pioneer in 2004, meaning he raised over $100,000 for the President's reelection campaign. And he's never met him?? Come on...
Again per the Washingtonian, for his part Jack is apparently prepared to testify that "not only did he know the President, but that the President knew the names of his children and asked about them during their meetings."
Whoops! Sounds like somebody in the Bush administration may not be telling the truth. We are shocked, shocked.
