A report from Republicans on the House Committee on Energy and Commerces, that was first reported on by Politico, exposes that White House aides set up meetings with registered lobbyists at a Caribou Coffee, located across the street from the White House to avoid appearing on the White House visitors log. It was clearly an transparent attempt to skirt the transparency laws and to avoid drinking at Starbucks.
Since then, GOP investigators have uncovered evidence of additional, questionable meetings, with registered lobbyists at locations other than the White House.
Here is a video of a young White House intern meeting with a lobbyist for the denim industry at a local amusement venue. Is this just another intern who's been caught playing with balls?
Or this video of two White House staffers being photographed with a high level Disney representative. It's clear who the master is, in this relationship.
It is still to early to tell if this story will have legs but we will continue to follow it, none the less.
