Someone here to see you, sir...

The Associated Press tells us that we're going to find out something that the Bush White House has been trying to keep secret for sometime now... just how often Jack Abramoff visited the White House and whom he met with.

WASHINGTON --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. U.S. District Judge John Garrett Penn last Tuesday approved an agreement between the Secret Service and Judicial Watch, a public interest group, that requires the agency to produce records of Abramoff's visits from Jan. 1, 2001, to the present.Judicial Watch filed suit in February after the Secret Service failed to respond to its request under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

[...]

Administration officials have refused to say how many times Abramoff, who raised at least $100,000 for President Bush's re-election, has been to the White House. Bush has said he doesn't know Abramoff.

[...]

The visitor logs are to be delivered to Judicial Watch by May 10.
