As was recently learned the hard way by Fender Guitars, you don't fuck with Obama and his Chicago buddies and expect to get away with it.
In Fender's case it was nothing more than the company's tendency to donate to conservative politicians that stirred up a hornet's nest that resulted in Fender's being forced to pay their way out of a witch hunt, somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million all told, and months of inconvenience and threats from the fed that they would shut down even the supply lines found to have been outside the scope of the "investigation".
More about that HERE
Now it seems it's GALLUP'S TURN.
After failing to cave to intimidation efforts by David Axelrod to change its methodology in computing polls that have showed Romney with a slight lead over Obama, this administration's justice department is doing what it clearly feels is Job Number One. They've joined in a lawsuit against the polling firm on an "unrelated" issue claiming Gallup had over charged the government for services rendered.
As with the Gibson sham, no charges have been officially filed by the DoJ and in fact, the feds have "reserved the right" as it were, to further hammer Gallup for months since this thing started.
This is becoming a trend with Holder Inc.
Piss off the administration and you will be embroiled in a legal battle costing you potentially millions with absolutely no recourse as you're not allowed to ask that the frivolous charges be dismissed until they're actually filed.
The only good thing about this instance is that I'm guessing the DoJ is going to remain quiet on this one until at least after the election. No need advertising your filthy tactics just prior to an election that Gallup already shows you fighting for your life for.
