Obama to Pick Former Bush Official to Lead F.B.I.

[24601]

225. The facts make your speculation implausible Ms. Learner is a career civil servant (as am I)

and we just don't get political placement like that afford to GS-15 & below Schedule C employees and non-career SES appointees.

Douglas Shulman was nominated IRS Commissioner in November 2007 and received unanimous Senate Confirmation for a 5-year term in January 2008. Shulman was appointed by President George W. Bush even though he donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in the month prior to the re-election of President Bush in 2004.

"In August 2009, he persuaded Switzerland to turn over the identities of 4,450 Americans with secret BUS bank accounts."

Meanwhile, "publicly released records show that embattled former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House at least 157 times during the Obama administration, more recorded visits than even the most trusted members of the president’s Cabinet."

So your fascinating premise is that Bush had the insight to nominate a DNC financial supporter who went after Americans with Swiss bank accounts and was a favorite visitor in the Obama White House? How does that track with the capabilities generally attributed to Bush on DU.

Sorry, your conspiracy theory is an epic fail.
