Co-Chair Bob Bauer, who served President Obama as White House counsel from December 2009 until 2011, and as General Counsel to the President's re-election committee and to the Democratic National Committee.

...Similar tactic - to Obama appointing Holder to investigate Holder..

Bob Bauer in his own words
http://reporting.sunlightfoundation.com/2010/bob-bauer-his-own-words/

By Bill Allison Aug 10 201012:36 p.m.

Robert F. Bauer, who will take on part of the responsibilities of Norm Eisen, the departing Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government Reform, has a long and storied career in Washington. He has represented the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Kerry and Obama presidential campaigns, and 527 organizations like Vote Now and America Coming Together. He’s defended Democratic politicians who ran into ethics trouble, including former Rep. Tony Coelho and former Sen. Robert Torricelli—both of whom were forced to give up their offices as ethics charges mounted against them. He’s filed ethics complaints against Republican and Republican-leaning organizations, most spectacularly when he prepared a complaint alleging racketeering on the part of former Republican Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay for extortion (for his aggressive fundraising), money laundering and illegally coordinating with section 527 groups to evade campaign finance laws. The suit was later dropped.

Thanks mostly to Lexis-Nexis and his own blog, here are a few choice quotes from Robert Bauer over the years. In reverse chronological order:

Oh Oh this can’t be true....But now we have to connect the dot’s back to the White House. I wonder if this person BOB BAUER— White House General Counsel that was written about in yesterday’s WSJ by Has anything to do with the IRS Scandal.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/05/24/Strassel-IRS-Scandal-Roots-in-Obama-s-2008-Campaign

Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign (and later White House) general counsel, wrote letters to the Department of Justice in August 2008 attacking a conservative 501(c)4 called the American Issues Project for running an ad that highlighted Obama’s connection to former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Bauer did not stop there; he also contacted the Federal Election Commission. That same month, a left-wing activist created a 501(c)4 called Accountable America that was designed to intimidate GOP donors.

wasn’t Bauer the husband of crazy WH staffer lip-licking Maoist Anita Dunn?

didnt his law firm reap MILLIONS from quashing challenges to obama’s birth cert and constitutional eligibility?

Was Bauer, his law firm, or his surrogates involved in using the legal system to persecute and attempt to bankrupt Sarah Palin?

Bauer, Dunn, Cass Sunstein and his wife Samantha Powers (2 names, harder to pin down to one married couple) et al are among those gray nameless faceless ice cold fanatically agenda driven bureaucrats who work behind the scenes and under the radar to enable even history’s most evil leaders to carry out their agenda.

They are the loyal “true believers” who place their human gods and agenda above everything and everyone in the name of social progress

they are the most dangerous people in our society, not the big names like obama and Clinton, but the army of ‘bot bureaucrats who serve them to support “the agenda”

On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats.

What came next was not common. Bob Bauer, general counsel for the campaign (and later general counsel for the White House), on the same day wrote to the criminal division of the Justice Department, demanding an investigation into AIP, “its officers and directors,” and its “anonymous donors.” Mr. Bauer claimed that the nonprofit, as a 501(c)(4), was committing a “knowing and willful violation” of election law, and wanted “action to enforce against criminal violations.”

Barack Obama appointed Tuesday to help lead the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, Robert F. Bauer, said during the 2012 election that voter ID laws are a Republican tactic to suppress lawful votes.
Anita Dunn, former Obama aide who told a group of high school students that Mao Tse Tung was one of her two favorite political philosophers [1].....Ms. Dunn, who is married to Obama’s former personal lawyer, Robert Bauer, told the students that when confronted with difficult political problems, Mao was one of the people she “turns to most” for answers about “how to do things that have never been done before.” -----http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/2010/04/28/fan-of-chairman-mao-to-help-tory-leader-cameron/?print=1

Voter ID only suppresses vote fraud.
Look at all the things that require ID. It's not such a burden to produce ID for these other issues.
So much is at stake to be stolen by the left through vote fraud that they will fight to the death to prevent voter ID.

First, I think that patriots already understand that corrupt Obama is abusing his powers to win illegal votes from illegal immigrants in exchange for giving such immigrants constitutionally indefensible federal benefits. After all, how are illegal immigrants expected to know that most of the government benefits that Obama is promising them are actually based on 10th Amendment protected state powers which the corrupt federal government has stolen from the states when legal voters evidently do not understand this either? In fact, basically the only constitutonal authority that the Founding States gave Congress to regulate anything within a state's borders is to regulate postal services as evidenced by the Constitution's Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I.

Regarding Obama wanting to protect the unlawful votes of illegal immigrants in order to continue abusing government power, the states have amended the Constitution to protect voting rights only on the basis of race, sex, tax issues and age as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments. Otherwise, there is nothing in the Constitution which prohibits states from not letting otherwise qualified people from voting if they can't show a valid photo ID.

In fact, in addition to being required to show a valid photo ID in order to vote, I think that the states also need to require candidate voters to pass a basic constitutional law test which emphasises the federal government's constitutonally limited powers before being allowed to vote. This would help to insure that legal and illegal voters know when federal candidate lawmakers try to get themselves elected by promising things, such as healthcare, which the federal government has no constitutonal authority to address regardless what activist justices say about Obamacare.
