SACRAMENTO (AP) ― The FBI is investigating allegations that an executive at a nonprofit founded by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson obstructed a federal inquiry into the group's spending practices.

The revelation comes two months after Johnson and his nonprofit, St. HOPE Academy, agreed to repay nearly $424,000 in federal grants to settle an investigation into whether the group misused federal money.

Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence G. Brown said he asked the FBI's Sacramento division to determine whether e-mails written by Johnson were deleted during the earlier investigation.

Obama might have to tell the FBI to find him innocent so he can declare this a dead issue

Maybe the FBI can wipe that phugly smile off his face. It's even worse than that petulant frown he used to sport on the court.

Doesn’t the FBI know who is running shit up in that white house? They don’t know Michelle Obama is friends with Kevin Johnson?

Maybe Obama himself will investigate the allegation and tell us when he has cleared his friend of all wrong doing.

Howdy DD! This is the guy who got Obama to fire the IG. Figures that the Mayor of Sacramento would be a scoundrel.

"Glad he never got a ring."

You may not remember this, but shortly before he retired, he had made some public overtures about the possibility of running for officer after his retirement.

He was heavily courted by both state and national representatives of the GOP, to get him to run as a Republican. We dodged a bullet there.

Brown also criticized the federal inspector general, Gerald Walpin, for overstating information he had gathered, which prompted the criminal investigation.

The fix is in....

This get curiouser and curiouser. It’s also interesting that this is from a local CBS affiliate, and not a national network. They are trying to burying this like a weak old corpse.

Off subject: The guy they charged with Chandra Levy’s murder plead not guilty. I think they nabbed the wrong guy, Diver Dave. I don’t think Gary Conditit himself but I still think he knows something. Anyway, we helped get Condit out of office. I’m proud of that.

“Glad he never got a ring.”

Remember K.J. dunking over big 7'4” Mark Eaton of the Jazz? I bet he jumps out of this too, like frog legs in a fryin' pan.

Grant the vote to fools, knaves, felons, miscreants - and they elect their own.

Why the hell is anyone surprised..

I think we all know that Obama’s FBI will clean up this little mess and no harm with come to the “bros”.
Obama is still playing Chicago Politics.....with YOUR money and your Country.

He is helping to ruin my childhood. First George Lucas and now KJ. I have been a Suns fan since the late 80’s. This is why proffessional athletes and etertainers stay out of politics.

Didn’t Michelle grow up in Chicago. Maybe that is why he blew that final shot in game 6 of the ‘93 Finals against the Bulls. Michelle paid him off. I feel so sad. LOL!!!
