Newly published emails show how health officials stonewalled a request by FoxNews.com for information about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' under-the-radar fundraising for a pro-ObamaCare group.
The emails were published Monday by The Washington Examiner, and show how officials were sent into a frenzy by the initial inquiry.
FoxNews.com first reached out to the pro-ObamaCare group, Enroll America, last May to inquire about claims that Sebelius was making calls to nonprofits to raise money for its Affordable Care Act awareness campaigns. FoxNews.com was told "there was no truth" to the tip.
But the emails show officials acknowledging, privately, that it was accurate.
"He asked me point blank if this was true," wrote then-Enroll aide Cate Bonacini, according to emails obtained by the Examiner.
Within four minutes, Enroll consultant and Democratic operative Michael Czin wrote back: "Did you say that off the record?"
In an email several minutes later, Czin, a former Obama campaign staffer who later in May became a Democratic National Committee spokesman, acknowledged the veracity of the tip.
"Sebelius is helping with some fundraising," he wrote.

There is not ONE person in this Admin who is not corrupt to the core!!
Where they FOI, if not, then I don’t care. It’s not news.
There is nothing vile and criminal these Democrat dogs will not do. Total dishonesty, the hall mark of socialist and communists. Richard Nixon was an innocent man compared to these nasty critters.
How do they find so many totally corrupt people? Are there any honest people left?
Not in the Dem Party!!
“At this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE”?
It isn’t just “under the radar”!
It is absolutely ILLEGAL!!
It is called “The Antideficiency Act”!!!
If Congress has not authorized AND FUNDED a government activity, it is expressly prohibited to use outside moneys to fund the effort!

“Are there any honest people left?”
Yes, but don’t look for them in politics. If you had to give it a number, what percentage of politicians do you think are actually trustworthy?
I am so cynical at this point that I think the vast majority of politicians would sell out just about anyone if it were necessary to keep their power. They would rationalize it, though - “I must stay in power in order to do the most good”.
The ability of all of us to rationalize our shortcomings and bad behaviors is astounding. I think it’s much better to not rationalize, and live with regret for what you’re not proud of, vs. being happy with yourself by not being honest with yourself. I’m sure I’ve done it though, more than I’d want to admit to myself. It’s all a very slippery slope.
