The DNC to sue Secret Service for records!!!
Edited on Mon May-08-06 02:48 PM by napi21

Following the successful prosecution of the Secret Service for Abramoff’s files by the conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch, the DNC is suing to obtain records for Grover Norquist; a personal friend of Abramoff who arranged visits between Indian tribal leaders and President Bush; Patrick Pizzella, an undersecretary of labor who worked on Abramoff’s lobbying team until he was appointed by President Bush; and Ralph Reed, an Abramoff friend and former Christian Coalition director who used his religious credentials to provide cover for Abramoff’s Indian gaming crusade.

They are also seeking entry and exit records for David Safavian, formerly President Bush’s chief procurement officer, who was arrested late last year for allegedly obstructing the Abramoff probe, and Michael Scanlon, Abramoff’s business partner, who recently pled guilty to bribing members of Congress and their aides.

The suit will be filed today in the United States District Court in Washington, D.C. Judicial Watch recently won their case to acquire Abramoff's records; it seems likely that the DNC will win this case as well.

6. I'd love to see the DNC sue for Secret Service records re Jeff Gannon
Yes, it's just a side show, but it is an attention getting, salacious side show about a gay man having regular access to the White House.

Fundamentalist heads would be exploding from Texas to the Atlantic Ocean if they knew a male hooker had been in the White House posing as a journalist and doing whatever/whoever else he was doing.

7. Well we all know that Grover Norquist, Jack Abramoff,
Patrick Pizzella, Ralph Reed & David Safavian were all Ann Richards supporters. :crazy: So why on earth would the DNC want such records? Bu$h doesn't know any of them at all. They are all secret Dems anyway and did I mention Bill Clinton's penis? Case Closed. :crazy: :sarcasm:

9. Notice this at the end of the article.
I think it bears repeating.

If you are an attorney in Washington and would consider filing suit for one or more of our Information Act requests pro bono, please email us at rawstory@gmail.com. RAW STORY has several outstanding Information requests with the Secret Service and the Department of Defense, among other agencies.

10. Put the boots to 'em, boys!
It seems as though the WH has only been honoring the FOIA when it suits their needs, anything incrimidating and they just blow them off.
