CORRUPTION -- DID THE WHITE HOUSE INSTRUCT PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHER TO SCRUB BUSH-ABRAMOFF PICTURES? Two weeks ago, The Hill columnist and blogger Josh Marshall reported that Reflections Photography, a large studio frequently hired to photograph conservative political events, had removed from its database all photos showing President Bush with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Marshall had unsuccessfully attempted to purchase such a photo from Reflections, and called the studio's president Joanne Amos to ask why the pictures were no longer available. She "very straightforwardly told me that the photographs had been removed and that they had been removed because they showed Abramoff and the president in the same picture. The photos were, she told me, 'not relevant.'" During a briefing yesterday, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan was asked whether the White House had instructed Reflections to remove the photos. McClellan "declined to answer the question."
