Federal agents this morning are searching the Judiciary Square office of Washington, D.C.'s Chief Technology Officer.

The search is part of "an ongoing investigation," said a spokeswoman for the FBI's D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was February 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said.

A good place to track this story might be www.wtop.com - local DC news focus.

It’s enough to make one wonder if it’s not simply because thieves are what Democrat Party insiders are, but more than that because Brass Knuckles Emanuel only wants political appointees they know they’ve got dirt on.

“If all of this were happening under McCain, the press would have been calling for his resignation and the headlines would always start with “CORRUPT REPULICANS.””

A very good point.
And current financial news would be painted as a Republican generated catastrophe.

Okay, I read the Politico article and the WePO article linked in it.

It seems this isn’t really about Obama’s appointee for Chief Information Officer (Vivek Kundra). A man, Yusuf Acar, who worked for D.C.’s Chief Technology Office was arrested for bribery. Kundra was with the DC CTO prior to accepting the appointment as Obama’s CIO.

There’s nothing indicating he’s involved in any sting or under any investigation.

But the stories are a bit confusing, so who knows.

Hey, you shouldn’t compare crooked politicians with snakes. It’s not fair to the snakes who were created to be what they are. They can’t help it.

I’ve never had a snake do anything to me worse than warning me to leave it alone. I’ve never had one try to take my money or tell me how to live my life.

Politicians had to learn to be crooks, they made the choice to be crooks.

Or Foreign Nationals who have loyalties elsewhere..”Kundra’s focus on saving money and creating economical solutions may stem in part from his upbringing. Born in India, and living in Tanzania until he moved to Gaithersburg, Md., at age 11, Kundra witnessed poverty and starvation, becoming exposed to the need for frugality at a young age.”

Under the present Regime we all deserve a taste.

And have already demonstrated the price for which they can be bought.

...And Kundra speaks Swahili!

“There’s nothing indicating he’s involved in any sting or under any investigation.”

Sure, just as when all the allegations swirling around Blago reportedly didn’t involve BHO. In reality, Obama is deeply implicated in The Combine and all its activities.
