WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's choice to be the No. 2 official at the Homeland Security Department is under investigation for his role in helping a company run by a brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, The Associated Press has learned.

Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is being investigated for his role in helping the company secure an international investor visa for a Chinese executive, according to congressional officials briefed on the investigation. The officials spoke only on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.

Mayorkas was named by Homeland Security's Inspector General's Office as a target in an investigation involving the foreign investor program run by USCIS, according to an email sent to lawmakers late Monday.

In that email, the IG's office said, "At this point in our investigation, we do not have any findings of criminal misconduct." The email did not specify any criminal allegations it might be investigating. . .

"Do they not have a single honest person to nominate?"

Democrats don't know honest people.

If they were probed by TSA, it's just business as usual.

“honesty” is a disqualifier

Is Obama ‘in’ with the Chinese?

[GOPJ]

Big Sis, the Deputy Secretary and the CIO have all suddenly resigned in the last couple months.

Yeah, but doesn't that signal they'll be replaced with much worse?

“Probed/Hillary” I didn’t need to see that juxtaposition.

Yeah, but doesn't that signal they'll be replaced with much worse?

Yes, but the way I'm looking at it is as an investigative "follow the trail".

He should have taken the train instead.

Thanks Brad from Tennessee.
