Obama Political Aide "Forgot" about $40,000 Payment From SEIU?

Of course he did. Anyone could forget to disclose a $40,000 payment from the union that was instrumental in bringing Obama into office. It's not like he forgot to pay his taxes or anything, because we all know Obama would never have someone like THAT in his administration.

"President Barack Obama’s political director failed to disclose that he was slated to receive a nearly $40,000 payout from a large labor union while he was working in the White House.

Patrick Gaspard, who served as the political director for the Service Employees International Union local 1199, received $37,071.46 in “carried over leave and vacation” from the union in 2009, but he did not disclose the agreement to receive the payment on his financial disclosure forms filed with the White House"

...

Such financial disclosures are governed by federal law, but Stan Brand, a former House general counsel and ethics expert, said the Justice Department is unlikely to pursue an investigation unless they suspected a “knowing or willful” intent to deceive.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it highly unlikely the Justice Department will see any wrong doing in these actions. Not the same Justice Department that forced two of their lawyers to stop all legal action against the Black Panthers who stood outside the voting place with billy clubs.
