CREW Calls for House Investigation into Obama Staffers’ Use of Personal Email, Meetings with Lobbyists

On Monday good-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) asked a House committee to look into whether the Obama White House violated federal laws regarding electronic records by using private email accounts to communicate with lobbyists and meeting with lobbyists outside the White House.
 
CREW wrote a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asking it to investigate and hold hearings to determine any violations of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and Federal Records Act (FRA).
 
The group’s letter is in response to an article in The New York Times on June 25 that said Obama White House officials have met “hundreds of times” over the last 18 months with prominent Washington lobbyists.
 
The Times also reported that lobbyists said they “routinely” get emails from White House staff members’ personal accounts, not their White House emails which are subject to public records review.

I think some groups have come to the conclusion that the best way to maintain control is to dump The One - as it is evident that he is poisoning his own well with his incompetence.

That's the problem with having the freakshow in your corner, they will turn on you the instant they think you are dissing their pet-rock issue.
