New Obama White House faces a triad of serious criminal lawsuits

New Obama White House faces a triad of serious criminal lawsuits

By Doc Vega   The re-election of President Obama has not been without controversy or future hazards. The Democratic administration under President Obama may well have managed another 4 year term, but new legal challenges threaten to bring down the entire White House. This new adverse litigation manifests itself in smoldering issues from the previous years of the administration that are now catching up to the new “Teflon” presidency that may not fare so well in court on this go around. Consider these impending court actions as a three prong attack based upon a triple threat of individual cases that in the days and weeks to come will be heard in a court of law. Once again, the big question will be, will the courts do their duty, and uphold the law based upon the evidence. [...]

IRS letter: Rumors of Nikki Haley federal indictment untrue

IRS letter: Rumors of Nikki Haley federal indictment untrue

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was never the subject of an Internal Revenue Service investigation into a worship center her family helps run, according to a letter released by the agency Friday. Haley’s office says the letter is proof that the “totally contrived” rumors that spread across the Internet this week that Haley could be indicted in federal court over the issue are “totally false.” “As we said from the very beginning, there was not an ounce of truth to any of these accusations — they were totally contrived, totally false, and and unaccountable bloggers,” said Rob Godfrey, a spokesman for Haley. After outlets — including The Daily Caller — reported on the indictment rumors that surfaced on a South Carolina blog this week, Godfrey told TheDC that [...]

Fox News Chief Roger Ailes to be Indicted- Left-wing wishful thinking

Fox News Chief Roger Ailes to be Indicted- Left-wing wishful thinking

This 'report' is pretty devoid of evidence. That said, last week's NYT story on Judith Regan alleging that Fox News head Roger Ailes encouraged her to lie to Federal investigators about her affair with NYC police chief Bernie Kerik to protect Rudy Giuliani's presidential hopes was pretty damning. So who knows. Financial blogger Barry Ritholtz posts this morning that "Someone I spoke with claimed that Ailes was scheduled to speak at their event in March, but canceled. It appears that Roger’s people, ostensibly using a clause in his contract, said he “cannot appear for legal reasons.” According to Ritholz's source those "legal reasons" are that "Roger Ailes will be indicted — probably this week, maybe even Monday." So yeah, a lot of ifs. via There's A Report Going [...]
