Why Abramoff's name may not be on WH records..met Rove elsewhere

The White House couldn’t ignore the broadening scope of McCain’s investigation. Abramoff had raised $300,000 for Bush, been invited to a funders’ thank-you at a ranch near the President’s Crawford ranch (declined because he doesn’t travel on the Jewish Sabbath), served on Bush’s transition team in 2000, and had been to the White House on numerous occasions after Bush was elected. According to a source who has been interviewed by the FBI, Abramoff told tribal clients that he met regularly with Karl Rove, who insisted on meeting outside the White House so Abramoff’s name wouldn’t appear in public records. Norquist was selling casino Indians face time with President Bush for $25,000 a head. Bush’s Secretary of the Interior was changing Indian policy to accommodate Abramoff, at the request of DeLay and Speaker Denny Hastert. The scandal that started on K Street reached south toward Pennsylvania Avenue.

And did chimp pressure McCain into not investigating Congressional members during the Indian investigation? (same link):

On November 17, 2004, McCain was called over to meet with the President, according to information provided by a Senate committee staffer. Regardless of the topic, the timing of the visit was a powerful message: the morning of the last Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing on the lobbying scandal chaired by Nighthorse Campbell. McCain would not confirm the meeting. He later reassured his Republican Senate colleagues that he will not pursue members of Congress and would limit his investigation to the lobbyists and their money. Recently, he has demonstrated a reluctance to follow the money trail to power centers in the Congress, the White House, and his party.

It appears that Brian Lamb made that accusation on January 6 on C-Span. Your link pulls up today's C-SPAN page. Do you have a live link to the transcript?

Lamb's accusation, if supported, is very important. I wonder who his source is? The reason for that is that a pattern of evasion of a law supports a charge of conspiracy to violate it, even absent an actual crime being committed. This applies just as much to Abramoff and Rove as it would to two would-be bank robbers who meet in the back room of a pizzaria to plan out a bank heist, but are thwarted before they actually step into the targeted bank.

I just have the link that I put in my OP...no transcript links or other info on the hyperlinks in the articles on the webpage I originally found/posted.

(maybe the FBI)
is tailing KKKarl...
on his extra-curricular
outings

A lot of people have been wearing wires in Washington. Rove's voice is on more than one of them.
