White House visitor records closed

We have every right to know who is coming and going.

back-door visits?

...and other scandels of the impeachable and/or imprisonable kind. ;)

HYSTERICAL!
:rofl:

Answer: They wouldn't.

"Oh, we can't find those logs. They were burned up, see?"

They're so desperate now they don't care about appearances in any way, shape, or form. This is the very last-gasp actions of a totally failed presidency... dumping the US Treasury into friendly hands as fast as humanly possible so they can gather it up later to hole up in some far-off place and pay off every person who might charge them with something.

in any investigation the Democrats care to pursue.

the 5th.

If ANYONE in the past had tried this there would have been an unholy uproar. My God.

it's the peoples house. That's such bullshit.

listen to our phone conversations, squint at our internet transactions, etc., etc., etc. while slamming the door shut on us in the house he DOES NOT own.

all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others. I guess?:shrug:

I agree completely with your post.

I believe that you have hit the nail on the head and should expand upon it.

or demand to be told what books you had read.

Republicans have been after the American public a long time.

Hand over those documents.

are considered private, how can a visitor log be private?

Alito & Roberts might be worth their weight in gold to *²

and threaten to squall, just as she did during the confirmation questioning.



Hoooooo, hoooooooo.

... In a debate with Vice President Al Gore in October 2000, Bush said: "I believe they've moved that sign, `The buck stops here,' from the Oval Office desk to `The buck stops here' on the Lincoln Bedroom. And that's not good for the country" ...

At least nine of Bush's biggest fund-raisers appear on the latest list of White House overnight guests, covering June 2002 through December 2003, and-or on the Camp David list, which covers last year. They include: <list follows>

CREW REVEALS WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS NOT RELEASED ABOUT THE ABRAMOFF SECRET SERVICE RECORDS

Many More Abramoff-Related Visits Took Place Than Have Been Disclosed

... CREW sued the Secret Service on May 9, 2006 for its failure to respond to a CREW FOIA request for Worker And Visitor Entrance System (WAVE), Access Control Records (ACR) and other visitor records for a number of prominent conservative activists, including Jack Abramoff, to the White House, executive office buildings and the Vice President’s house. The DNC sued for a smaller scope of documents.

Once in litigation, the Secret Service took the remarkable position that all records were off-limits. When pressed in similar lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, the Secret Service acknowledged that the agency had, in fact, destroyed records after making copies for the White House – a practice it discontinued only after the National Archives and Records Administration, the agency charged with ensuring that agencies properly preserve records, intervened in October 2004.

In settlement discussions with the Secret Service, CREW learned that the full body of visitor records shows that Norquist visited the White House far more than the 97 visits disclosed yesterday. The full complement of Secret Service records, including those the Secret Service destroyed (but which are still with the White House), shows that Norquist visited the White House a minimum of 155 times, Similarly, rather than the mere 18 meetings revealed yesterday, Reed visited the White House on at least 49 separate occasions.

The Secret Service is now arguing that the records are not the agency’s to provide. This flatly contradicts the position taken by the agency during the Clinton administration, when the Secret Service provided such records to Judicial Watch in litigation over Filegate. CREW will continue to litigate until the Secret Service explains what records have been destroyed as well as why and at whose direction they were destroyed ...

Overnighters.

Maybe if you had been doing your job all along, WaPo, you wouldn't be facing the cold, hard, ugly truth now, that you're just as irrelevant to the bush administration as the rest of us.

Gee what does this tell us about the current White House inhabitants?
BHN

This is news to us, even if it happened last year. With Harriet's departure, some of the WH legal crap will be fun to watch. -Just because there seem to be so many bunglers afoot that anything can throw them. (Not fun like "WHEE!!!", more like a horror flick is fun)

and found teachers and other regular people - with no big money.
The story was never retracted - it's still infesting some areas of the "internets". I wanna see the restoration of the dignitude in the White House!

Maybe the Scooter Libby trial?

according to the administration (neo cons), the not so "silent majority" is the people. The real majority of people are only peons to the rich corporations and have no ownership or say in this country.

the legal battles will take years to resolve
Let the games begin!

congress,remove your heads from the sand,IMPEACH,that clown in the whitehouse.

Whether they will succeed is another matter
