Transitions...

I ran across this little nugget of info the other day, but forgot to write it up, so I'll give Josh the credit:

I'm looking at a list of who was on President Bush's 2000-2001 Department of Interior transition team. It's not just Jack Abramoff who's on the list. Deputy Secretary of the Interior James Steven Griles is on there too. He's also apparently a target of the Abramoff investigation. And there's David Safavian on the list. He was the first guy indicted in the Abramoff scandal, the top procurement official at the Office of Management and Budget until a couple of days before he was arrested at his home in Alexandria, Virginia.

Sort of puts a different spin on Interior's claims that they really "didn't know Jack".

So far no one has brought up Abramoff's membership on Bush's transition team in the WH press gaggle. Richard Wolffe of Newsweek did an article about it early this month. I would think that would be irresistible to someone like David Gregory, but as far as I know he hasn't touched it.
