Obama Official Has His Office Raided, Two People Arrested

  Today the FBI raided the old office of Vivek Kundra, the president’s nominee as a technology official, and arrested two people on bribery charges. The names of the two men who were arrested are Yusuf Acar, and Sushil Bansal, we are told that Kundra himself is not a target.

   As I write this Kundra has taken a leave from his post. One of Kundra’s duties is to coordinate the federal computer systems and one person who was working under him, Acar, is being held without bail while another person who was working under him was released and ordered not to conduct any overseas transaction.

  Whether or not Kundra eventually becomes a target of this investigation, this is an explosive scandal. The man who is in charge of the federal computer system hadtwo men who have been scammingthe government working under him. As his boss he is responsible for them. This leave needs to be made permanent. There is no way that this man can go back to his job without it being a major thorn in the side of President Obama. President Obama should persuade Kundra to step down to avoid providing the administration with any further embarrassment.

  This is yet another black eye and a huge embarrassment for this administration. And this is the last thing that President Obama needs. But it is of his own doing. This president has a longhistory of hanging around with very shady people, I won’t even bother to go into the list, everybody knows it by now. So is it any surprise that a person that Obama nominated to a cabinet position has some shady issues, if not directly then through the people that are working for him? You reap what you sow.

  During the campaign many of us tried to warn people of Barack Obama and his shady acquaintances but we were met with extreme skepticism. Now we are seeing why many of us were concerned about the people that he decided to hang around with. His acquaintances showed Obama’s bad judgement and with all of the problems Obama has had filling out his cabinet we are seeing that bad judgement coming back to haunt him.

  During the Bush years we were subjected to months on end of phony scandals and investigations drudged up by the left, the Valerie Plame fiasco comes to mind. The investigation yielded the result that there was no wrong-doing by any Bush administration official. The only arrest that was made was Scooter Libby for lying to investigators because there was no other crime committed.

  Here we have a case of two people who were working under a man who is an official in the Obama administration, who were arrestedfor a crime much worse than lying. Where is the outcry from the left?  Bush, Cheney, and Rove were accused by the left of many crimes but none were ever proved and yet there is still outcry to this day from the far left.

   It will be interesting to see if any of these same people come to the defense of these men. I don’t think they will come to their defense, I think they will just remain silent on this issue. But their silence will be an indictment on themselves just as it would be if they were to defend this nominee. Their silence is, in effect, their defense of these men.
