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-fiancé.
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.

I like Darrel Issa. A lot.
RULES are not meant for EMPERORS, they are only for the mindless rabble (everyone else).
People have to understand that we are looking a CRIMINAL in Chief here in the USA - any and all laws are irrelevant.
These democrats better stop striking flint by the powderkeg.
Examiner’s Byron York gets goods on Americorps
Examiner Editorial
November 22, 2009
On Friday, The Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, Byron York, had another stunning report on the scandal involving the firing of Americorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Earlier this year, Walpin was fired in what appears to be a politically motivated attempt by Democrats to silence his investigation into allegations of misuse of $800,000 in federal funds by Sacramento mayor and former NBA star Kevin Johnson. The funds were provided by the federal Americorps program to St. Hope, a nonprofit school that Johnson then headed.
York’s latest blockbuster is his reporting of a congressional report prepared by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. While probing the misuse of funds allegations, congressional investigators were told that Johnson made improper advances toward three young women at St. Hope. The report also alleges that Michelle Rhee, D.C.’s nationally-celebrated chancellor of schools and now Johnson’s fiancee, acted as a fixer for her future husband when she was on the St. Hope board of directors. Rhee allegedly reassured St. Hope employees that she would investigate Johnson’s inappropriate conduct.

They can’t help themselves, they are just like
the folks you read and may even know, the ones
who insist on smoking while breathing pure oxygen
from a tank by their side. They seem to ignite with
amazing spontenaneity. They just don’t seem to grasp
the fact that striking a match while your shirt and lungs
are filled with pure oxygen is a BAD IDEA.
They continue to try and light a long train of abuses
and usurpations....
The most ironic part is how fast their limp-wristed tyranny would crumb if they were actually challenged.
The media would call it a coup; I would call it America’s redemption.

Democrats lie, cheat & steal with impunity. They know the media is too busy spooning with Obama and the diminishing voters that matter are going to be replaced with illegal aliens and Muslim immigrants.
Republicans get punished because they want to be "bi-partisan". Democrats laugh at their stupidity while packing & stacking everything in sight with more liberal democrats.
And it's all being done in plain view.
Now I see......Corrupt bastages........

Who is responsible for that language...as ZH poster RockyRacoon said...”Sponsors of the bill — Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)”...nothing to see here just the usual elitists, er statists, er suspects.
Thanks for your contributions/links to this thread. BTTT!
