E-Mails Say Abramoff Has Met Bush “In Almost a Dozen Settings”
In other news, recent e-mails from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff indicate his ties to the White House are far greater than President Bush has admitted to. Excerpts from the e-mails were published on ThinkProgress.org. In one message to Kim Eisler, national editor of the Washingtonian magazine, Abramoff writes he was personally invited to Bush’s Crawford ranch for a fundraising event, but could not attend. At a January 26 thpress conference, President Bush said “You know, I, frankly, don’t even remember having my picture taken with the guy. I don’t know him.” But in the e-mails, Abramoff wrote quote: “The guy saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids. Perhaps he has forgotten everything. Who knows.”
