The search is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further on the raid of office, at 1 Judiciary Square.
The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was February 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said. He was appointed to the Washington post in 2007.
Someone remind me, why was this crew’s interaction with the outgoing Administration declared “the best transistion, evah!”
Was it not because (at least we were led to believe) these morons were so on the ball?
They have seventeen empty slots at Treasury, at a time when the monetary supply (you know: putting money in people’s pockets) is the single greatest problem they are facing in shoring up the economy. Instead, they are promoting policies that will, in a couple years, doing the exact opposite, and not even providing jackasses to defend it….
It’s gotten so bad that the upcoming G20 meeting might turn into an earth-shattering cock-up. Yet BushCo opened their doors to the incoming crew when the whole TARP abortion was built.
And Team Messiah, whose campaign was driven by their ability to harness Internet technology, can’t manage to pick A GEEK WITHOUT A POTENTIAL RAPSHEET to run their IT operations?
These raids don’t happen in a vacuum. These are ongoing things that are finally enacted upon. Yet, like with that idiot they originally picked to run Commerce, the Messiah’s people never knew these investigations were in the pipeline?
Bullshit.
UPDATE: OOPSIE!
An aide to President Barack Obama is on leave from his White House job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office Thursday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said.
