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.

There is so much sh## out there on these criminals but the GOP sits quietly in the corner hoping someone will love them. The rabied passion we need from the other side is not there. Get ready for reaching across the isle. where are our leaders?
In all fairness to Obama, the entire federal government has become a criminal enterprise. It didn’t start when he took office and will probably be worse four years after we get a GOP replacement for him.
Good point. The wife and I were discussing a pair of the in-laws who are fervent Dems, and issue of whether they knew how dishonest the Dems were came up. We agreed that they knew and they didn't care, because it was for a good cause... their cause.
Not surprisingly, this pair is rather corrupt and self-serving in their personal life.
ummm,, that POS Øbama is half black and our rules don’t apply to him . .
I get really tired of all these “bombshells” that out politicians for illegal activity because they are NEVER followed by a story of prosecution.
Politicians should be held to a stricter standard because they are supposed to represent the people.
Of course if we only had a competent justice department....
ping
Yawn.
As usual another “bombshell” that will go nowhere.
And .. there’s a new bombshell in the Benghazi scandal. A dem staffer has testified that Hillary’s chief of staff was in the basement of the State Dept. going through all Hillary’s emails and purging everything that made Hillary look bad.
AND PEOPLE WANT THIS TOTALLY CORRUPT PERSON TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT ..?????? ALONG WITH HER PHILANDERING HUSBAND WHO’S ALREADY KEEPING A FEMALE IN CHAPPAQUA (Sp?).
REALLY AMERICA .. DO WE REALLY WANT MORE OF THIS HORRIBLE COUPLE ..????????????????????????
