Safavian Hearts Abramoff
Something to come back to whenever you hear someone say that the Bush Junta wasn't all that close to Jack Abramoff. Note that this e-mail dates from December 17, 2000. Bush hadn't even been sworn in yet -- hell, the legal issues still hadn't been fully settled (not that they ever really were) -- and David Safavian is sucking up to Our Jack. David Safavian, who will go on to run the General Services Administration (the Federal government's lead procurement agency), and eventually go to trial next month (and very likely prison, unless he's done the mother of all plea agreements) for doing all sorts of stinky stuff in connection with his good buddy Abramoff.
