Morning Roundup: After the Snowfall Edition
Vivek Kundra, D.C.'s former Chief Technology Officer, has returned to his job as federal chief information officer for the Obama administration after being placed on leave in the wake of the OCTO arrests, the Washington Times reports. White House officials told the Times that Kundra was reinstated after they were reassured that he is not a target of the federal investigation of his former office. The story makes sure to mention the recent revelation that Kundra was cited on a minor theft charge in Montgomery County in 1996, when he was 21. The White House said they were aware of the criminal theft case and were unconcerned, calling it a "youthful indiscretion." See also the New York Times' Caucus blog, which reports that Va. Gov. Tim Kaine intervened on Kundra's behalf.

*whew* He's clean!
Exactly. So what if he had sticky fingers as a young adult or he promoted Acar three times in the last year? The key fact here is that he was brought in the Obama administration before these arrests were made. So there is no way he could be involved.
So what did he steal in 1996?
a case of Kingfisher beer.
