A GOP congressional report accuses the White House of doing favors for Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA star and prominent ally of President Barack Obama.
The report was spearheaded by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The investigation also found evidence that D.C. schools chief Michelle Rhee handled “damage control” after allegations surfaced of sexual misconduct against Johnson, her now-fiance.
The probe was launched after an AmeriCorps inspector general, Gerald Walpin, was abruptly fired in June by White House lawyer Norm Eisen. Walpin, who was appointed to his position during the Bush administration, was pursuing allegations that Johnson misused some of the $800,000 in federal AmeriCorps money provided to St. Hope Academy, a nonprofit school he headed for several years.

An IG WALPIN friday dump in the news. So tragic.
I swear Obama could go on TV right now and confess he is a sleeper cell al-quaeda agent and the media would parse his words and cover.
Unfortunately I fear you are correct
If GWB had done something equivalent to what BHO has done for KJ, he'd have been impeached. No doubt in my mind.
After the 2010 elections, this could be reviewed. (impeachment then?)
At least IL Duce, reputedly, made the trains run on time; Of course, he was responsible for the debacle in Afghanistan... er,,,,Ethiopia.
Obama has not been accused of doing a favor, he has been accused of illegally firing an Inspector General to cover up a crime. Pardoning Marc Rich for money was a favor. Covering up a crime is a crime.
Where have I been?
This is the first I’ve read about this.
Are there other FR threads on this - a REAL and PROVABLE Crime by Zero???
Jus keepin’ it real.
Oh, that's just great. Are there no limits to idiocy?
