So awesome. I remember an eight-year fruitless attempt to find out who met with Dick Cheney and helped set the Bush administration’s super-awesome energy policy. And, now?
House Republicans plan to probe the White House policy on disclosing its visitor records.
On Tuesday of next week, a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee will hold a hearing titled “White House Transparency, Visitor Logs and Lobbyists.” The hearing comes after a report by the Center for Public Integrity detailing disclosure gaps in visitor records released by the White House.
In a memo describing the hearing, staff for the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee cite the Center’s report about the visitor records. They also list a number of questions for the Obama administration on how its disclosure policy has come to function.
Remember how, when the Jack Abramoff scandal hit, the White House said he maybe visited once and it turned out that he practically lived there? Yeah. It’s okay if you are a Republican.
