2 arrested in FBI raid at Obama appointee's office
WTOP News ^ | March 12, 2009 | unk.

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.

He was not arrested and sources tell FoxNews that he’s not the target.

Anyone who’s any good in the IT field in the DC Metro area doesn’t go to work for the DC city government.

No one paid attention to the edicts from Kundra’s predecessor, Karen Evans. Federal agencies will ignore him, too.

By the way what nationality is Yusuf Acar???

I know what your getting at, obviously, but the straight-up answer is that if he was born here or is a naturalized citizen, he's an American.

This is a paper he wrote...These are the slides...

Your point? I've worked in information technology for over 20 years and have seen hundreds of such papers and presentations. I see nothing particularly noteworthy in the examples you linked.

Thread on Obama:

Barack Hussein Obama is a committed Marxist -- what are Americans going to do about it?

OK - My error. I clicked through the TV stations and didn’t see anything except the Bernie Madoff stuff.

Come on!
If this happened when Bush was in office, they would be breaking in to regularly scheduled programs to tell us about this!

How nice. Now, with Barry Soetoro Obama’s blessing, Kundra can bring mooselimb espionage to higher offices. They’ve purchased a true jackpot don’tchaknow.

Kundra has a vetting problem and so does Obama....coincidence?

Gotta follow the money on this one. It may bring in a much bigger prize.

The money trail never gets followed if it involves a Democrat.
