More inside scoop on the Abramoff-Bush non-relationship relationship from the Washingtonian, including buzz about the still-unseen photos of the two men together as one... The story comes with this interesting "editor's note":
[Editor’s note: A version of this story was posted briefly on Monday of this week. Within an hour, Jack Abramoff contacted the author, Washingtonian national editor Kim Eisler, and asked that the report be deleted from the Washingtonian.com Web site because public disclosure of his communications would damage his status as a witness and undermine his plea agreement with federal prosecutors. Abramoff has pleaded guilty to three felonies and could receive 31 years in prison for his part in the lobbying scandal. US District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle will decide the length of Abramoff’s prison term. The link was taken down while Mr. Abramoff’s concerns were investigated, but Mr. Eisler found no confirmation that publication of the item would damage any aspect of the wide-ranging probe. Thus we are posting this updated story.] ...plus the news that the much-circulated TIME/NYT photo of Abramoff in the background at a meeting with Bush is not one of the five photos being held by the Washingotnian editor who is also pals with Lonely Jack, who apparently feels abandoned by his former D.C. crew. ...
