Hey ya gotta give ABC credit for breaking this. There is no depth to which these people will stoop to cover up their corruption.

WASHINGTON Jan 5, 2007 (AP)— The White House and the Secret Service quietly signed an agreement last spring in the midst of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal declaring that records identifying visitors to the White House are not open to the public.

The Bush administration didn't reveal the existence of the memorandum of understanding until last fall. The White House is using it to deal with a legal problem on a separate front, a ruling by a federal judge ordering the production of Secret Service logs identifying visitors to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.

In a federal appeals court filing three weeks ago, the administration's lawyers used the memo in a legal argument aimed at overturning the judge's ruling. The Washington Post is suing for access to the Secret Service logs.

The five-page document dated May 17 declares that all entry and exit data on White House visitors belongs to the White House as presidential records rather than to the Secret Service as agency records. Therefore, the agreement states, the material is not subject to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

These are the same logs that were used in the Whitewater and Lewinski witch hunts. These guys are slick. Let's just hope that there are still enough impartial judges in the Federal judiciary to strike this nonsense down.

7. Not with this guy...

This is King George. Annoited by birth to rule as he sees fit. Pitiful and it's up to us to stop him.

6. What was it Bush said?

Something about people who have something to hide and being secretive? Hmmmm. You don't suppose . . . ?

8. Is it Nixon vs. United States yet?

:grr:

[Cleita]

9. I wonder how many other Jeff Gannon's are out there that we

don't know about, not to mention some questionable Saudi nationals.

10. What excuse could they possibly use to rationalize this?

There honestly can't be any excuse that would legitimate making it impossible to find out who is entering the White House.

11. What's next? Will they try to classify photographs?

There's something rude I want to write, but I won't.

[WinkyDink]

12. OMG, that is a VERY DISTURBED MAN.

Not to mention revolting.

WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?! Please, someone analyze this man in this regard (I've read "Bush on the Couch"). Bush has a seriously whacked bald-head fetish that borders on the messianic---not to mention sexual.

That IS Gannon, is it not?

[Octafish]

13. The place I found it said it was Mr. Gannon.

Another DUer who saw it said it wasn't.

Perhaps one of the people there would be brave enough to comment publicly?



Either way, he's a hands on kind of guy. Lips, too. Condescending.

[Bluebear]

15. Gannon's not that good looking.

He has that hard, aging whore look.
