She is basically accused of neglecting her job as a government official by failing to sufficiently investigate a potentially corrupt arbitration. It is a very strange case, probably political.

Corrupt perhaps. But an Obama associate, hardly.

LaGarde is the tip of a large and ugly iceberg:

Indeed, they worked at the same law firm at one time and had other connections along the way. Lagarde is tied into Chicago politics despite her French nationality. So yes, definitely associated with Obama.

I did some research on this topic some months ago and found that they did not work for the same law firm.

She worked for a law firm that specialized in international contracts, a law firm that Obama had no connection with.
Obama was a South Side, Hyde Park “community organizer.”
Lagarde went to the top French schools-she was a born elitist. I would bet dollars to donuts that she and Obama never met. She traveled in very high social circles in Chicago. If they worked for the same firm, please tell me which one. I searched the bios of both and could not find any common ground.
