She resigned two days after Obama was elected. How convenient.
Julie Myers poses with the prizewinner (left, in blackface makeup) she selected as "Outstanding Costume" at an ICE Halloween party. Someone in the Bush administration improperly leaked the immigration status of Obama’s Kenyan aunt.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office is now conducting an internal investigation to determine the source of the leak....
Julie Myers.
Myers is a loyal Bushie whose appointment was a clear case of nepotism — she is both the niece of Gen. Richard Myers and is married to John F. Wood the chief of staff for the homeland security secretary, Michael Chertoff.
Myers was such a controversial pick that she was initially installed at ICE in 2006 via a recess appointment, and she was not confirmed by the Senate until last December.
Her nemesis in the appointment process was one Claire McCaskill, who tried to block Myers with a “hold” last year. The Missouri Senator is a co-Chair of Barack Obama’s campaign.
