Looks like we’re about to find out.
The Secret Service has agreed to turn over White House visitor logs that will show how often convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff met with Bush administration officials – and with whom he met.
Visitor logs are a wonderful thing. My firm had a case in arbitration last year in which we represented a guy trying to get a rather sizeable finder’s fee for introducing new sources of capital to the company he consulted for. One of those new sources of capital came in the form of a buyer for the entire company. The company didn’t want to pay the finder’s fee, denying that the principals of the company had met with the investment banker who the consultant had introduced them to. Documentary evidence was thin, but we got our hands on the visitor logs of the building where the meeting was held, and the principals had to admit that they’d been at the meeting.
So, I eagerly await the production of the White House logs, especially the parts that show who Jack Abramoff met with.
