Obama's Chief Technology Officer's Office Raided By FBI
UPDATE: The arrests do not appear to be terror-related in any way. This is just run-of-the-mill scam stuff, as far as I can tell.
His name is Vivek Kundra. When I look up Vivek Kundra on Wikipedia I find that this man, with an Indian name, was born in New Delhi, but that his family emigrated to Dar al Salaam, Tanzania, and that's where he grew up.
Just happens to be a Muslim country, for those of you keeping score at home.
This is the man who was going to be in charge of all information coming in, out, and travelling through the White Hosue.
And now, the FBI is raiding his office.
Hmm.
From Politico:
FBI raids office of D.C. CTO, Obama appointee
Federal agents this morning are searching the office Washington, D.C.'s Chief Technology Officer.
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 Washington Post reported that the FBI arrested Yusuf Acar, 40, an information systems security official in the office.
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.
"We know the FBI is over there but that's all we know," said a staffer in the D.C. CTO's office, Mario Field, who was working from a separate location. Another source familiar with the raid said the FBI had sent all staffers other than senior executives home for the day. WTOP Radio reported that agents are searching the 9th and 10th floors of the building.
A White House spokesman had no immediate comment.
D.C. mayor's spokeswoman Kershaw said, "Our office has been alerted of FBI's being at CTO office, but we cannot comment until it's over and we get more details."
No one answered a phone listed in Acar's name.
Isn't it interesting that so many of Obama's appointees seem to have trouble with the law?
