#1 But I thought a few days ago, that he wasn't a target. Maybe with all the AIG noise they hope this one will slip through unnoticed.

#3 The CIO and his coterie are accused of swindling the city of several million dollars through over-invoiced purchase orders for equipment and inflated billing for work by non-existent employees.

Just another Taste of Chicago.

#4 Vivek Kundra reinstated as White House CIO
President Barack Obama's [Images] Indian- American infotech czar Vivek Kundra [Images] was on Wednesday 'reinstated' to his job at the White House, five days after he went on leave following Federal Bureau of Investigation's raids at his previous office, in a corruption case related to employees working there.

White House officials said Kundra, 34, returned to the job after it became clear that he was not the 'target of investigations,' a media report said. "Kundra has been informed that he is neither a subject nor a target of the investigation, and has been reinstated," Assistant White House Press Secretary Nick Shapiro was quoted as saying by the CNN.

Never. But we are already seeing Paul Volker wandering the halls of the White House doing exactly that. So far, he hasn't found any.
