Bob Beckel said on Fox this morning that Obama White House green jobs czar Van Jones will be canned by Tuesday. Beckel reasoned that Jones's background is simply indefensible for a White house appointment, and wondered if the FBI screwed up because they must not have uncovered this in the vetting process.
Former White House staffers I’ve spoken with say they would bet the FBI uncovered much of Jones’s past--especially if Jones truthfully answered their questions. What would then happen is this: the background report would go to the Counsel’s office (run by Greg Craig), who would then raise the question of whether what the FBI found was disqualifying with the the potential employee’s boss. Jones was hired by Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, but he presumably (and ultimately) reports to the chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel must have decided that nothing in Jones’s background was alarming enough to prevent his appointment.
So even if Jones is thrown overboard this weekend, it’s worth asking: Did Rahm sign off on Jones’s appointment despite what the FBI must have discovered about his background. And, incidentally--did Jones tell the truth to the FBI?
I’ve sent an email asking this question to Rahm Emanuel’s office. I’ll report when he gets back to me.

Craig Livingstone lives!
Who hired Craig Livingston?
Why even suggest that his background wasn’t known.
IMHO, it is his background that made him so valuable to the O team.
you beat me to it.
Jones is just one more group thinker...they all agree.
Bekel the DNC mouthpiece sets up the FBI to be thrown under the bus.
lol..kent strikes again !
So what a poor 0 to do? Jettison Jones and piss off his fringe wacko Leftist Internet base or cling to him and drive another nail in the coffin of his reputation with the "moderates".
Either way it's a lose for the 0.
Jones is where he is courtsey of the fools and traitors that put obama in the WhiteHouse. Blame them.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the answer.
Who cleared Barack Obama?
I saw Bob on Sean’s panel. If he is coming out against Jones, there is a huge problem.
Who cares these days. He told the truth to Google and YouTube. The bottom line is that Obama and Rahm new exactly what they were getting with this guy. He fits the Obama template to a Teeee.
My guess is he's working at the State Department.
0bozo brings the media’s new dysfunctional reality show to America:

0bama lies and the Constitution dies,
Looks like Barney Frank, getting ready for the long three-day weekend at home. ;)
