President Obama won't give his convicted computer whiz Vivek Kundra the boot

WASHINGTON - The new White House computer chief pleaded guilty 12 years ago to a petty theft charge, but it won't cost him his job, a spokesman for President Obama said.

Vivek Kundra, 34, hired from Washington's city government, admitted a theft of property valued at under $300 in Maryland, a White House aide confirmed.

He was fined $500, but the sentence was suspended and he only had to pay $100.

"Thirteen years ago, Vivek committed a youthful indiscretion. He performed community service and we are satisfied that he fully resolved the matter," said Obama spokesman Nick Shapiro.

Details of the crime were not immediately disclosed. The White House was aware of Kundra's record when its lawyers vetted him, a source said.

Hard to find a good crook who will stay bought and has good computer skills. ZERO doesn’t want to let that one get away.

Except someone other than himself may have benefitted from that service, unlike in Obama’s entire career.

Being a Democrat crook is a resume-enhancer. Before long, he’ll be working for heavyweight crooks like Frank and Schumer.

Admitted cocaine (a felony) and marijuana user.... hires a thief (a crime of moral turpitude).

I see no conflict there. He’s only going to work in the White House, not at a McDonald’s. They should make a good team.
