Remember Judicial Watch's successful lawsuit to get the Secret Service to release all visits to the White House by Jack Abramoff? The lawsuit that, last week, showed Abramoff had only visited twice between 2001 and 2004?
Well, here's the secret that the White House didn't share with the world... The Secret Service had no records to search... No, good readers, the White House had the records all the time.
You see, the Secret Service gives all access records to the Executive Office of the President every 30-60 days. And from 2001-2004 they didn't keep a copy. So the Secret Service had no records to search. And the White House said nothing, other than Scott McClellan, full well knowing that the Secret Service had no records, cryptically mentioning that the records would "not be complete."

Now we're in a three card monty game with the good, honest folks at the White House.
Real straight shooters.
