The State Department investigation into how and why the passport files of three presidential candidates were breached is scrutinizing an employee at a Virginia-based company, which is headed by an adviser to Barack Obama’s campaign.
The Washington Times, which broke the news Thursday that Obama’s files were improperly accessed, reported Saturday that the State Department inspector general’s internal probe will include polygraph tests of supervisors to determine whether there was a political motive behind the breaches.
The article said a focal point of the probe will be an employee who works for The Analysis Corporation and is still with the company. The firm is headed by John O. Brennan, an Obama adviser, FOX News confirms. The Times reported he advises the Democratic presidential candidate on intelligence and foreign policy matters.
The Times reported that the employee at TAC is the only individual who accessed both Obama’s and John McCain’s passport information. TAC decided to honor a State Department request to delay firing the consultant to give investigators time to conduct their investigation, the company said.
Two other contract workers were fired from Stanley Inc. after it was discovered they accessed Obama’s files. It could be challenging for the State Department to force them to answer questions, however. Unless they volunteer to cooperate, they would have to be served with a subpoena compelling them to testify before a grand jury.

So...
Hillary! has a mole in State who agrees to make it look like the snooping was done by an Obama! operative.
How Rovian.
Oh my. And he was the one who jumped the gun and bashed Pres. Bush as being to blame...
This could be a case of "Rush to judgment" or if he knew it was his person he figured it wouldn't get exposed, so was smearing with malice aforethought.
Neither trait we need in a president
Glad this came out in time to be mentioned on some of the talk shows tomorrow. Some energetic higher-up sure moved quickly.
Not that the nomination fight was already down and dirty, in the mud and the blood and the beer, but this does take the edge off the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Bullfrog, er, Wright story, as well as deflecting the criticism of who was responsible.
It really might have been a Karl Rove operation. But now, nobody will ever know.
If true - what's going on here! Are Hillary & Obama playing the same game?
Wondering how McCain fits in.
Obama’s bulb is broken. He is lost.
Does Tenet Paint True Picture of Post Sept. 11?
John Brennan, former deputy executive director of the CIA; chief of staff to George Tenet; CIA station chief in the Middle East
Isn't Tenet at this same company, Analysis, as well?
John McCain is the obliging and amiable dunce here.
See my post above.
So is this TAC company running our Passport operations? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Ensign Charles Parker comes to mind!
Who will bring it up? Maybe FNC, if we're lucky.
So B.Hussein has an operative pry into his own records to make it look like Hillary hired an Obama operative to hide her own tracks!
So B.Hussein has an operative pry into his own records to make it look like Hillary hired an Obama operative to hide her own tracks, so Hussein and Clinton could blame Bush, even though Karl Rove doesn't work for the White House!
Rove, you magnificent bast**d!
