WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite repeated White House objections to the release of documents related to Jack Abramoff's visits to the White House, the Secret Service has agreed to produce all logs detailing the disgraced lobbyist's meetings, according to a court filing released Monday.

The Secret Service agreed on April 25 to drop any objections to turning over the information and will "produce any and all documents" on or before May 10, according to the filing released by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on February 2.

he group filed a lawsuit on February 22 after the Secret Service did not initially turn over the documents.

The court filing, signed by Judge John Garrett Penn of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, also stipulates the Secret Service will release the documents "without redactions or claims of exemptions" this month.

While White House officials have been careful not to rule out the possibility that other Bush-Abramoff meetings occurred, they have refused to turn over any documents detailing who at the White House has met with Abramoff and under what circumstances. - CNN

It took a lawsuit, but at least some of the facts will come out. Can anyone think of a legitimate reason why logs of an convicted felon's White House visits shouldn't be public knowledge? Who owns the White House? Of course, bush is on record as saying ""I've never sat down with him and had a discussion with the guy." However,

Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff says President Bush knew him well enough to joke with him about weightlifting. "What are you benching, buff guy?" Abramoff said Mr. Bush asked him.

Abramoff said he finds it hard to believe Mr. Bush doesn't remember the 10 or so photos he and members of his family had snapped with the president and first lady.

"He (Bush) has one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met," Abramoff wrote in an e-mail, according to Vanity Fair's April issue being released this week. "Perhaps he has forgotten everything. Who knows?" (CBSNews.com)

Remember, Abramoff raised over $100,000 for bush's campaign, enough for him to be a member of the elite "Pioneer Club" of fund-raisers.

I wonder if the logs will have been sanitized by now.

Yeah, they've had plenty of time to alter the documents. The photo already proved Bush was lying about not meeting him, so you know they will remove as much evidence as possible from the documents.

If Bush can change any rule or law, it won't be any problem to change a document underhandedly.

All I could read on the News & Reference homne page was:

"White House to Release Logs of..." and I filled in the rest prematurely.

There's that nagging Constitutional question again.
