BOSTON - A lawyer for President Barack Obama’s uncle, an illegal immigrant who is charged with drunken driving, says he will ask prosecutors to turn over the driving record of the police officer who stopped him.
Onyango Obama, the half-brother of the president’s late father, was charged with drunken driving in Framingham in August after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign and nearly caused a police cruiser to strike his SUV.
Obama’s lawyer said Wednesday that he will ask prosecutors for Officer Val Krishtal’s driving record. A court hearing is scheduled Thursday.

Why this jackass is still in the country goes beyond my mental capacity other than Obama’s nepotism. Why ask for a cop’s driving records? That is absolutely irrelevant to a DUI case involving the uncle. He broke the law, he was drinking; and it’s time to own up to the mistake instead of free-riding the half-nephew’s political status.
Because....?
If the judge allows this request, he should be fired the next day.
It’s time to throw this lowlife AND HIS “LAWYER” out of our country. Americans don’t need to put up with this kind of crap from foreign nationals.
Ther are two jackasses directly involved in this case and one of them is the defense atty.
I hope the judge tells Odumbo’s uncle that he doesn’t have “standing”.
Agreed.
Cops do not get to be cops with a bad driving record.
Once a cop they seldom are given tickets.
Professional Courtesy you know.
Unless the Kenyans attorney has some proof of a bad record I would say he is fishing in a dry hole.
My question is why is this illegal still in this country.
Of course we all know the answer to that one.
Denied. Relevance.
Gee, I didn’t know I could do that last time I got a ticket
exactly.
Relevance isn't generally the sole standard. In my experience most criminal court judges honor the civil standard on document requests which is whether the item requested is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Without much thought given to the foolish appearance of this DUI defense, it comes right of the Clinton / Democrat rule book; turn an accusation 180 degrees and discredit the accuser. Maybe he should just plead insanity or racism / discrimination.
Obama’s uncle probably has the Holder Justice Dept. coaching him.
What ever happened to that illegal alien New York Times writer?
Still here illegally too?
Ship the drunken sot back to Kenya along with his coke snorting nephew.
