Abramoff Brags About Bush Relationship

From indian.senate.gov via Wikipedia.org

Jack Abramoff testifies before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee on Sept. 29, 2004, repeatedly refusing to answer senators’ questions by “taking the Fifth.”

ThinkProgress: ThinkProgress has obtained emails written by Jack Abramoff in which the fallen lobbyist personally describes his relationship with President Bush. They depict a relationship far more extensive than has been previously reported.

The emails written by Abramoff were addressed to Kim Eisler, the national editor of Washingtonian magazine. The Washingtonian recently reported on the existence of several photographs showing Abramoff and Bush together. Eisler is also the author of Revenge of the Pequots, a book about tribal politics for which Abramoff was interviewed.

Truthdig says: Also, The Nation has a great piece on Abramoff’s Evangelical Soldiers (Ralph Reed & Co.)
