Bombshell Emails: White House Coordinated With Department of Labor To Hide Illegal Obama Fundraiser
The Daily Caller ^ | 9/14/14 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 09/14/2014 9:24:14 PM PDT by Nachum

The Department of Labor coordinated with the White House on whether or not to release hidden portions of former Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’ schedule as Solis battled an FBI investigation into her illegal fundraising for President Obama.

New emails provided to The Daily Caller from the nonprofit legal research firm Cause of Action show the White House thanking the Department of Labor for “flagging” a public information request for “withheld” portions of Solis’ schedule. (SEE THE EMAIL CHAIN). The White House then asked for the name of the conservative group making the request — information that Labor officials were eager to give up.

As TheDC previously reported, Solis illegally fundraised for the Obama campaign and headlined a Latino-themed Obama fundraiser while on a trip in her official capacity as a Cabinet member, which is forbidden by the Hatch Act. (AUDIO: SOLIS LEAVING A PHONE MESSAGE ILLEGALLY FUNDRAISING FOR OBAMA)

A quiet, behind-the-scenes FBI investigation into Solis’ Hatch Act violation led to her resignation from the Obama administration at the beginning of his second term – and handed Solis a hefty check for legal advice from the Washington arm of the politically-connected Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. (The Daily Caller, meanwhile, is permanently banned from talking to employees at the Department of Labor — which oddly hasn’t stopped us.)

Again, Democrats use government (taxpayers) resources to target conservatives.

When will the whole Obama administration go to jail?

Boehner assures us that he already has "top men" looking them over.

"Top. Men."

It is now at the point with these thugs where I will just assume they are breaking the law. There is a systemic pattern of abuses that is mind-boggling.

It’ll be tricky, but I’m sure those emails can be “lost” just as easily. Thanks Nachum.

Excellent wit - and true, to boot.

Hardly.

She's now on the Board of Supervisors for Los Angeles County.

From Wikipedia:


In explaining why a former U.S. Representative and Cabinet member would be interested in a county-level body, analysts stated that the board is the most powerful county-level legislative body in the United States, and exercises some executive and quasi-judicial powers as well. It controls a workforce larger than the Labor Department's and its $26 billion budget is equivalent to that of an average U.S. state. Each member presiding over some two million constituents, three times that of Solis' old congressional district, and that it is quite possibly the fourth most powerful position in California politics, after Governor, U.S. Senator, and Mayor of Los Angeles. The supervisors have long been nicknamed "the five little kings".

Bombshell as in someone was actually affected in some negative way upon the detonation of this information/ knowledge?

Because if no one is affected in some negative way, then it is hardly a bombshell and more like nothing.
