WASHINGTON - Two officials in the D.C.'s Office of the Chief Technology Officer have been arrested in a federal bribery sting, sources tell WTOP.
D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer employees Sushil Bansal and 40-year-old Yusuf Acar have been arrested, sources tell WTOP.
Acar was taken into custody Thursday morning by FBI agents at his home in Northwest D.C.
The FBI is now serving a search warrant at the office of D.C.'s Chief Technology Officer, WTOP has learned.
"We are there as part of a continuing ongoing criminal investigation," FBI Washington Field Office spokesperson Katherine Schweit tells WTOP.
Schweit would not comment on the details of the investigation.
More than a dozen FBI agents - including evidence technicians - at the office, located at 1 Judiciary Square on 4th Street in Northwest, WTOP's Mark Segraves reports.
Most of the employees have been told to go home. Other employees have been segregated into a waiting room.
Segraves reports the FBI's search has expanded from 9th floor offices to 10th floor offices.
A spokesman for D.C.'s U.S. Attorney tells WTOP he cannot discuss the investigation, as it is currently sealed.
On March 5, President Barack Obama named D.C. Chief Technology Officer Vivek Kundra as the federal government's chief information officer.
Kundra's last day was March 4.
Kundra, who was in charge of technology in the District since 2007, has been a consultant to Obama since he won the election.
Foreign Nationals have spread like a Syphilis, and are busy smiling at us while destroying our secrets that are paramount to national defense.
AQ Khan has many brothers and sisters at the CDC,Nasa,Northrop-Grumman,Universities and Colleges, the list goes on and on.
Meanwhile we pat ourselves on the back for being high minded as they snigger and haul our safety and econmic prosperity out the door.
Does O have a Teleprompter Czar yet?
Hope these people aren’t in charge of the keyboard;he’ll be up the creek sans paddle.

Ambition, political or otherwise? To affect change as a public servant
Swahili language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
*************************EXCERPT******************************
Swahili (called Kiswahili in the language itself) is the first language of the Swahili people (Waswahili), who inhabit several large stretches of the Indian Ocean coastline from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique, including the Comoros Islands.[3] Although only 5-10 million people speak it as their native language,[2] Swahili is a lingua franca of much of East Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a national or official language of four nations, and is the only language of African origin among the official working languages of the African Union.

Somali is an Islamic country...mostly....
What a KEY appointment.....
Families who migrate from India to Africa are generally muslim.
This may be nominated for understatement of the year.
From the AP note:Kundra earlier this month was hired to oversee federal government computers as the administration's chief information officer. Kundra is also in charge of security for the vast federal information databanks.
Hey, howsabout we outsource ALL federal databanks to Indian and Pakistani owned and controlled companies? Does anybody else see a potential downside?

“By the way what nationality is Yusuf Acar???”
Acar is Turkish. Vivek Kundra is from India/Tanzania and Bansal is from India. Barack Hussein Obama, they guy who made the appointment, is from Hawaii/Kenya.
“White House got heads up before FBI raid”

The White House says it got a heads up before FBI agents raided the former offices of a new Obama administration technology official.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says the Department of Justice told the White House on Thursday morning of its planned raid at the offices of the District of Columbia’s chief technology officer. Vivek Kundra recently left that post to take a job in the White House. Gibbs declined to say if administration officials knew about the ongoing investigation of the D.C. technology office when they hired Kundra.
Another distraction for us since the Limbaugh distraction backfired? Rahm Emmanuel is working 24/7 in DeLauro’s basement.
interesting, there’s Cisco again, Calpernia #60
This was another ruse.
"The former CTO, Vivek Kundra, was not a target of the investigation, though the arrest of one of his top aides is a black eye for the 300-employee office and its leaders. He left last week to take the post of chief information officer in the Obama administration."
The funniest line I've read all week. Kundra left last week -- so all the fraud was engineered by his subordinates and it took place -- when? during the last week?
And the hits just keep on comin!
“Sushil Bansal and 40-year-old Yusuf Acar”
sounds like members of ROP. Bribery or espionage?
