WASHINGTON (AP) - An aide to President Barack Obama is on leave from his White House job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office Thursday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said.
The charges were lodged against the two men at a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the case become known, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicly discuss personnel matters.

This is the scariest thing I have seen to date. How much of our nation security was compromised? At least some are resisting this coup. Nice job at the FBI. Time to takes some chances in the right direction for change.
“Yusuf Acar, 40, who has worked in the technology office since 2004, was charged with bribery, conspiracy, money laundering and conflict of interest. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Hibarger told a federal judge that Acar is a flight risk because agents seized $70,000 in cash in his house and because in recorded conversations, he boasted that he could easily flee to his native Turkey. Acar also told the informant that he could use computers to create fake D.C. birth certificates, Hibarger said.”

Like nobody could use a computer to create fake Hawaiian birth certificates. And easily flee to Kenya or Turkey.
When 52 cards are reached, Obama should be impeached.

Something wrong with that - be very suspicious.
Here is what that means. I am not a fan of the comPost, but:
“The scam began unraveling in March last year when Acar recruited an unidentified D.C. government employee, an Army veteran who has a master’s degree in electrical engineering, FBI agents wrote.” snip
“Last month, Sekela wrote, Acar intercepted an e-mail from the D.C. Office of Inspector General. He told the informant in a taped conversation that he had set up a computer system to intercept e-mails that mentioned his name and others, according to Sekela.
Sekela did not disclose what was in the e-mail, but something apparently was worrying Acar.
“Are we going to jail?” he asked the informant.”

Big money says that the other names on the intercept included Vivek Kundra. How many H1B’s do we need installing redirectors on state and federal systems? Many thanks to all of the Army (and all of the other branches) veterans, as well as the civilian contractors, that did the right thing for our country. Islam is a pariah that must be excised from the face of the earth.
Acar also told the informant that he could use computers to create fake D.C. birth certificates, Hibarger said.

How many trojans can come out of one horse anyway, shheeesh, this administration is like a virus
Ya couldn't make this kind of stuff up, if ya tried... Any scriptwriter for Hollyweird who came up with something like *this* would have been summarily canned for gross stupidity...
the infowarrior
oBAMbi THE DUMB ASSSSS, put an Indian in charge of Computer Security.
Vivek Kundra was born in New Delhi, India. His parents immigrated to Tanzania, where he grew up. Kundra speaks Swahili as his first language. His family moved to the United States when he was 11
a cohort of his who worked for him
Yusuf Acar
a 40-year-old native of Turkey, had a $127,468-a-year position purchasing the city’s computer equipment and lining up contract workers for numerous city agencies, according to court documents.
H1b visas .... helping give jobs to help foreign spies because its something American’s don’t want to do.
Well, if Obama can shut down SCOTUS like he did with his birth certificate, It wont be long before he shuts down the FBI as well.
“And we are going to put THAT guy in charge of firewalls and Internet security for the entire White House??”
On the bright side, it would make it easier to hack the Teleprompters...
LOL
playing the devil’s advocate... der Schilchtmeister is American first, and smarter.
and this guy is giving and Indian the job of keeping the White House virtually protected??
Being virually protected is like wishing you had used a condom.
“Yusuf Acar, the acting chief security officer in the city’s technology office, was ordered held without bond pending a hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors said $70,000 in cash was found during a search of Acar’s Washington home and that he posed a serious flight risk.”
Gee, I wonder where he’d flee.
How do people with these names land technology security jobs in the U.S. government?
I want to know who hired Yusuf Acar!!
