PHOTO: Abramoff and Interior Secretary Gale Norton
The Interior Department has released a February 2002 photo of Jack Abramoff (far right), Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton (Center) and representatives of the Choctaw Indians, one of Abramoff’s tribal clients:

It wasn’t the first time Norton and Abramoff met. The AP reports “The lobbyist and one of his clients, a member of the Louisiana Coushatta tribe, dined with Norton on Sept. 24, 2001, at a private fundraising dinner.” The 2001 meeting was arranged after Abramoff clients donated $50,000 to an “environmental group” founded by Norton.

The Abramoff scandal is not just a Congressional scandal, it’s also a Bush administration scandal. According to news reports the Bush/Abramoff photos should be surfacing shortly.

6. That's a good one.

It shows more than a donation handshake relationship. It shows one of the top Nazis plotting with the Felon.
