WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.
The charges were lodged against the two men at a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the case become known, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicly discuss personnel matters.

Probably not on the under-the-table payments to allow mooselimbs into the intel circle. Stupid crooks, ignorant traitors.

Perhaps standing someone too close to Obama who was just raided might remind people about how “honest” Chicago politics is? Just guessing?
To: Ann Archy
Ok
So our White House/Executive Branch guy did NOT know that fraud was going on, right under his nose, in his DC job?
And we are going to put THAT guy in charge of firewalls and Internet security for the entire White House??
He is either a crook, or an idiot, or both, don't you think?

That was fast. It usually takes a week to ten days to see a Obamite being hidden from the press or public!

Hmmm, the “boss” was rescued just in time by Obama.
He should be arrested along with his underlings.
