On Sunday, President Obama will travel to Northern Virginia to campaign for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. The Commonwealth Attorney for Loudon County, however, notes that the appearance may be a conflict of interest, given the federal investigations surrounding McAuliffe's business interests.
"I’m amazed that President Obama will be campaigning for Mr. McAuliffe, both of whom have also been practicing attorneys," Commonwealth Attorney Jim Plowman said in an email. "It has been well publicized that Mr. McAuliffe and his business associates are currently embroiled in investigations by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Both of these agencies are overseen and directly under the control of President Obama."
The SEC is investigating whether McAuliffe's GreenTech made improper promises to potential investors.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Didn’t both Obama’s have to SURRENDER THEIR LAW LICENSEs???
That’s not something you do lightly...
it’s not like “Oh, I wasn’t using it so, meh..”
When you’re the ruling Caliph, no law license (or birth cert LOL) required....
What do you mean, “may” Breitbart? Of course it’s a kiss of death to have the author of the disastrous HC plan show up. Question is whether there is enuff publicity to affect the falling McAuliffe numbers.
His whole flipping’ presidency has been one big continual conflict of interest.
Exactly - even if they find it illegal, nobody will do anything about it. “The Law of the Land” only applies when it furthers the take-over of the People by the government.
In the past, the appearance of malfeasance was a determining factor in politician behavior. The boldness of this corrupt cabal is right there with the most famous dictatorships of all time.
Eric Holder has his back.
IIRC, there was an Army Sexual Harassment case thrown out because of “Command Influence” from remarks 0bama had made about the case.
Obama won’t see a conflict of interest because being under investigation for criminal activity and running for governor go hand in hand, in Illinois. In fact the normal career path for the Illinois governor is to go directly from the governor’s mansion to the governors’ wing at the prison.
oh bullsh8t
US was never Obama’s client
US was never Obama’s former client
this attorney has a pretty broad definition of conflict
Hopefully Virginians aren’t stupid enough to elect a grade A sh1tbag after King Stalinist Sh1t comes to town to shill for him.
Just thinking about these two losers on stage together should send any rational minded human person running for the doors.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
I see you and raise you a Whatever!
“”both of whom have also been practicing attorneys””
I know this administration is full of jokes but this takes the cake...obozo a practicing attorney????? At what? We know this guy has had lots of practice but it hasn’t been in the law!!!
Baraq’s LSAT scores are guarded more carefully than the nuke launch codes....
Surely you don’t think Barry had to take the LSAT.
