When the raid story first broke here I wrote this comment in that thread...<p>"More to the point, the Obama administration could have the worst vetting team in the world and they'd still be smart enough to ask the FBI if they had any active investigations on the appointee. It's too rudimentary a step to skip."<p>I'm still sure the vetting team checked specifically into Mr. Kundra but I have to admit this makes them look a tad incompetent. They may not be the worst vetting team but the fact that the President seemingly didn't know this was coming does not reflect well on them or the Administration.<p>(In my original comment I assumed the vetting team knew this raid was comming but disregarded it because there were no direct ties to Kundra)
It seems impossibly hard to find "clean" upper level government employees in Washington. This should really be more of a concern talking point with us citizens.
