President Barack Obama's nominee as Colorado's next U.S. attorney told the FBI two years ago that she never spoke to anyone in the Denver District Attorney's Office about an illegal immigrant who became a controversial figure in the 2006 gubernatorial race.

FBI interview summaries describe Stephanie Villafuerte as saying she had "no conversations" with anyone at the DA's office about the illegal immigrant, Carlos Estrada-Medina.

But the FBI apparently never asked Villafuerte, the former chief deputy DA who was then working for Bill Ritter's campaign, why she left a phone message for DA spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough that Kimbrough noted was about Estrada-Medina. The FBI also apparently never asked her about the nature of a series of phone calls she exchanged over the next two days with Kimbrough and First Assistant DA Chuck Lepley. Those calls came both before and after an order by Lepley to a subordinate to run a criminal history check of Estrada-Medina in a restricted federal database.

It can be a crime to access the National Crime Information Center computer for a non-law-enforcement purpose.

In 2006 and 2007, the FBI was investigating who ran a check on Estrada-Medina's name through the database after Bob Beauprez's gubernatorial campaign ran a television ad confirming that Estrada-Medina, a suspected heroin dealer and illegal immigrant, had once received a plea deal under the name Walter Ramo while Ritter was Denver's district attorney.

Eventually, a federal immigration agent named Cory Voorhis was charged with running an NCIC check on Estrada-Medina and providing the result to the Beauprez campaign. He was later acquitted at trial.

But the 10-year veteran, who maintained he accessed the NCIC with his supervisor's permission because Voorhis was upset over plea deals made by Ritter's office with deportable immigrants, lost his job and is fighting to get it back

Keeping the record unbroken. O chooses liars, cheats, and evil doers to be part of his administration.

No one honest need apply.

Must not have paid her taxes also if she is to be in with the dead fish mailer (According to someone I read he sent a dead fish to a person doing polling, just like the mafia) and non tax payer Rahm.

Federal agent Voorhis has been hit with a gag order.

None that I can find...but there is this:

Obama Picks U.S. Attorney Who Worked for Sanctuary City DA

From the link:

President Obama has picked Stephanie Villafuerte as the next U.S. Attorney for Colorado. But as Michelle Malkin notes, Villafuerte worked for Bill Ritter, the district attorney for Denver who gave sweetheart plea agreements to illegal aliens so they could remain in the U.S. to commit more crimes. When Ritter's plea agreements were exposed by an ICE whistleblower, the government tried to prosecute him, and his supervisors lied at trial with no repercussion.

I think this is a pretty big scandal here in Colorado.
Regrettably, I don't think it will get any air time or
publicity - and it will all fade away into the background.
