Currently there is Fast & Furious. Likely as big as Watergate eventually. But there are other scandals that the "most open administration" in history is involved in.
Yesterday saw the start of a potential Solyndra scandal. Notice how green, solar, or Solyndra was not mentioned last night? Well, the FBI invaded Solyndra looking for items in a sealed search warrant. Sealed warrants are wrong, but it is pretty obvious they are looking for favoritism in awarding the $535 Million loan guarantees (and subsequent re-negotiation) for Solyndra. From Mar 2009 to April 2011 at least 20 visits to the White House were made by Solyndra executives and influencers like George Kaiser, a campaign funds bundler and large donor for Obama and a backer of Solyndra. In the week before the loan was made about 5 visits were made.
Then there is PigFord. If you are black and claim to just want to be a farmer, or your daddy was a farmer, you can claim $75,000 in reparations for injustice done to you by the Department of Agriculture over many years. As much as 80% of claims by 94,000 farmers could be fraudulent in this case where Congress appropriated $1.5 Billion to make amends. Of course lawyers will see most of the money.
And how about Black Panther Voter Intimidation? Big mean looking guys with bats standing around voting places to keep out the wrong kind of voters. Eric Holder's DOJ simply let the charges drop. Amazing.
And let's not forget voter fraud, with ACORN convictions, stuffed ballot boxes and rigged voting machines. ACORN may be dead, but its children live on in most states under different names. It is still dangerous.
