The Department of Labor coordinated with the White House on whether or not to release hidden portions of former Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’ schedule as Solis battled an FBI investigation into her illegal fundraising for President Obama.
New emails provided to The Daily Caller from the nonprofit legal research firm Cause of Action show the White House thanking the Department of Labor for “flagging” a public information request for “withheld” portions of Solis’ schedule. (SEE THE EMAIL CHAIN). The White House then asked for the name of the conservative group making the request — information that Labor officials were eager to give up.
As TheDC previously reported, Solis illegally fundraised for the Obama campaign and headlined a Latino-themed Obama fundraiser while on a trip in her official capacity as a Cabinet member, which is forbidden by the Hatch Act. (AUDIO: SOLIS LEAVING A PHONE MESSAGE ILLEGALLY FUNDRAISING FOR OBAMA)
A quiet, behind-the-scenes FBI investigation into Solis’ Hatch Act violation led to her resignation from the Obama administration at the beginning of his second term – and handed Solis a hefty check for legal advice from the Washington arm of the politically-connected Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. (The Daily Caller, meanwhile, is permanently banned from talking to employees at the Department of Labor — which oddly hasn’t stopped us.)

If they get busy on this Im sure the emails can still be lost

Its hard to have an original thought around here.
And nothing will happen. What, Holder’s Department of JustUs will do anything?
The rule of law is dead in DC.
:’) Very true. I usually get nailed on it because I don’t check first.
This just happened, consequences are not instantaneous, this is not Star Trek.
Meanwhile, here’s an idea — don’t vote in November. That will send the message that candidates have to run even further to the left.
Whatever...
The problem with bombshells, is that people are already shell-shocked. That is, that this administration has actually performed the seemingly impossible - by producing and being embroiled in so much scandalous behavior that it has basically inoculated itself. Remember when “bimbo fatigue” set in?
If every Republican member of the House was on an investigational committee, and every Democrat had to play defense, there would be no one left to do any legislation. Hmmm...this is not a bad idea.
“And nothing will happen. What, Holder’s Department of JustUs will do anything?”
Oh, they are...but they can’t say anything about it because it is under investigation, which is the only reason that it is being investigated.
“Another smidgen coming home to roost.”

Good idea, SunkenCiv! Eventually the conservative course, will be self corrected. Hell to pay, until then though. Seems the course is set. Batten the hatches, review the watch, all hands below. We will plow the sea or ground, one way or the o’er.
Bingo. Ya nailed it.

Yes...at the KaBoom facility where they assemble playground toys for schools nation wide. (no further puns intended)
No, the point is, don’t vote, and there will be no one who will run to the right, because the conservative votes weren’t there in the preceding elections. So much for so-called having principles.
Git a rope!
You have a good point. I was just jokin’ a bit, as to circular logic. Emmy Lou, does a pretty good rendition of the “Wheels of Life.”
