Uncle Danny Davis, Obama’s friend Whitaker, poor guys betrayed by niece,

Condolences to Rep. Danny Davis (D-West Side and suburbs), whose niece has been caught (says indictment) with greedy hand in public-money cookie jar:

Defendant: Quinshaunta R. Golden, former Illinois Department of Public Health chief of staff

Filed: Aug. 7, 2013

Charges: Bribery/theft, mail fraud and obstruction of justice

Details: Golden, a niece of U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.), is accused of pocketing about $433,000 in kickbacks on health department contracts and grants that she oversaw. Her boss at the time, Obama’s friend [Eric E.] Whitaker, has said he is cooperating with the investigation and “had no firsthand knowledge of the activities outlined in [Golden’s] indictment.”

Status: Trial set for Oct. 1.

Same for Pres. Obama, whose friend has been maybe victimized by a trusted employee. Congratulations to O’s friend Whitaker, who had no “firsthand” knowledge of the thievery (but apparently secondhand) and is nonetheless ratting on her (apparently by way of secondhand knowledge, stuff he heard at the water cooler).
