CJ’s Jon Ham has been following anecdotal reports that the White House may have played a role in which Chrysler dealerships were closed as part of the bankruptcy deal worked out by the adminstration and the automaker. (For instance, a dealer network co-owned by former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty and Charlotte Bobcats owner Bob Johnson was spared the ax; their competitors weren’t.)
Today’s Washington Examiner weighs in with an editorial. Meantime, Instapundit Glenn Reynolds posts a note from a reader pointing out that the Obama administration’s car czar, Steven Rattner, is married to Maureen White, former national finance chair for the Democratic Party.
Reynolds thinks the Department of Justice should look into this. I place the odds of that at next to zero.
