Former acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jeffrey Zients has still not returned from an overseas exile that began after his departure from the Obama administration in April, two weeks before the IRS scandal broke.

Zients met with then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and Shulman’s political aide Jonathan Davis and spokesman Frank Keith at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex on April 24, 2012.

"Former acting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Jeffrey Zients has still not returned from an overseas exile that began after his departure from the Obama administration in April, two weeks before the IRS scandal broke."

Apparently, being the "Former" he is under no obligation to return. Sucks but true.

Exile that began after his departure from the Obama administration.
Obama’s nothing up my sleeve card is now void time for him to pay up.

Lotta winding mountain roads with no guard rails in Costa Rica.

Lotta unfortunate street crime in Jamaica.

Lotta sharks in Belize.

Just sayin’

He does not have to be in the country to be convicted of multiple felonys and sentenced. He could have a nice Federal Hotel room waiting for him on his return.

Or do we not prosecute Federal Criminals anymore because the head of the Justice Department is one?

For 5 years, I have dreamed of seeing “The Won” removed from the White Hut in handcuffs. May it be so.
