Another Obama pal gets off scott free from the DOJ – Pay2Play Bill Richardson

Did Bill Richardson suddenly join the new Black Panthers or smth? Oh I get it, since Bill Richardson is one of Obama’s pals, he wouldn’t be investgated for Pay2Play. From Fox News:

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration won’t be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor’s large political donors, someone familiar with the case said.

The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.

“It’s over. There’s nothing. It was killed in Washington,” the person told The Associated Press.

A federal grand jury began an investigation in 2008 into a possible pay-to-play scheme in which lucrative work on state bond deals went to a Richardson donor. The federal probe derailed Richardson’s appointment as commerce secretary in President Barack Obama’s administration.

Richardson withdrew his nomination in January, saying the investigation would have delayed his confirmation although he said expected to be cleared.

Richardson and members of his staff traveled to Cuba this week for a trade mission. Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos didn’t immediately respond to e-mail messages seeking confirmation that no charges were expected from the federal investigation.

Is there anyone out there in cyberspace surprised? As long as Obama is President there will be no justice for anyone. He’s too busy going after CIA members that acted in compliance with the law. The Black Panthers’ case was dropped? OMG, who would have guessed that a bunch of racist blacks intimidating voters would not be prosecuted for violating voter’s civil rights? At least they didn’t blow second hand smoke into the faces of those people they threatened with clubs. I hate to say it, but I think it’s time for the Republicans in congress to grow a set and go after this President and his czar appointments and to be unrelenting until they get answers. He’s a socialist, he’s an anti-white, anti-constitution, anti-capitalist that occupies the highest political position in the land and maybe the world. Don’t rely on the brave women in congress (Bachmann) or other political figures (Palin) to take the lead on everything. Grow some balls and do it.
