Doan report delivered to White House.

ThinkProgress.org: Gov Exec reported on Friday, “The Office of Special Counsel confirmed that it delivered to President Bush today its investigative report concluding General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan violated the law that limits political activity in federal agencies, leaving Doan’s future in the hands of the White House.” The article also noted that Waxman has received transcripts from the Office of Special Counsel’s interview with Doan:

In related news, OSC has provided the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with redacted transcripts of their nine-hour interview with Doan, along with the e-mail records obtained by OSC to determine whether Doan was using her Blackberry during specific time periods during the January meeting. The panel’s chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and ranking member, Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., both received copies of the report, the OSC spokesman said.

On Wednesday Doan is scheduled to appear before the oversight committee to discuss her allegations that GSA employees who testified about her statements at the Jan. 26 meeting were biased and poor performers. Waxman also said Doan may be asked other questions about her previous statements to the committee and to officials involved in the OSC investigation.

Web Comments:

  • “…leaving Doan’s future in the hands of the White House…” Don’t worry, Lurita, you’re in good hands. Just ask Scooter Libby how it all worked out.
  • If the report doesn’t have pictures in it, will Brush even bother to read it?
  • Even though Bush claimed that if elected he’d “return honor and dignity to the White House” my guess is that he’ll stand behind this latest criminal and say she did a heckuva job.
