UNDERCOVER: Lobbyist Offering Access In George W Bush’s Administration for Six-Figure Donations

Why does the Lincoln Bedroom come to mind? I kind of remember something about that during Clinton's reign.

These snakes never sleep, do they?

I think it would be a great improvement to bulldoze K Street and clean them out.

REAL MONEY action is.

nothing to see here, move on.

Clinton et all were "hoping" that people who might give a lot would feel great about staying in the Lincoln Bedroom, but legally minded their p's & q's.

In the case of these lobbyists like Abrahmoff it was a "written condition" expressed to the person donating for having a meeting with top political people who were "friendly" to the agenda of the people having the meeting. So it was not just, "Do you support the pres and want to donate?" It was, "If you want a meeting, here is the cost."

"Did we hope that the people that came there would support me, particularly after we got into a political season? Of course we did.

"But there was no solicitation during the events and the guidelines, which I believe were made available to you also yesterday in the documents, made it clear that there was to be no price tags on these events," Clinton said.

Asked about the dollar figures that staff members attached to some of the White House coffees, Clinton said they were only projections.

"That's how much they hoped would come out of their endeavors after their coffees were over," Clinton said. "And I think if you will ask them, you'll find out that sometimes they did, and sometimes they didn't."

with his family!

One of them used to work for Senator Biden:



My guess is, because of this past association, (they think?) they still have an "in" with Joe.

Biden makes a denouncement of this.

I also hope this story gets more coverage. Worldwide Strategic Partners obviously has something to hide or they wouldn't be scrubbing their website.

It would be worth it to get close enough to smack him.
