Team pressed Richardson, got nothing - Jonathan Martin - Politico.com
Barack Obama’s transition team pressed Bill Richardson about a federal probe into “pay-to-play” allegations against his office – the same investigation Richardson cited Sunday in withdrawing his name as commerce secretary.
But a Democratic source said Obama’s questioners came away empty handed. “Those guys were pressed for information and they gave nothing,” the source said.
So, on getting nothing, they just let it drop and went ahead and appointed him?
That doesn’t bode well. I thought Obama’s administration was supposed to be infinitely more intelligent than Bush’s.
