THE MISSING PHOTOGRAPH....

Citizens for Reponsibility and Ethics In Washington (CREW) have released a never-publicized picture of President Bush with jailed Lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

According to CREW, "the Bush Administration has gone to great lengths to prevent any access to information documenting a relationship with Jack Abramoff. But that relationship exists. CREW was provided a photo of President Bush and Jack Abramoff taken at a campaign fundraiser in December 2003."

More information about the White House attempts to cover up records of Abramoff's visits were uncovered by ABC News last Friday:

The White House and the Secret Service quietly signed an agreement last spring in the midst of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal declaring that records identifying visitors to the White House are not open to the public.

The Bush administration didn't reveal the existence of the memorandum of understanding until last fall. The White House is using it to deal with a legal problem on a separate front, a ruling by a federal judge ordering the production of Secret Service logs identifying visitors to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
