Obama's intervention in FBI investigation is fine, White House says

White House spokesman Jay Carney Monday waved off concerns over the president’s prime-time public interference in the FBI investigation of the Internal Revenue Service.

“Obviously we do not interfere with Justice Department investigations,” Carney said
when he was asked about President Barack Obama’s statement just before the Super Bowl that there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” in his IRS’ decision to deny routine fundraising rights and legal protections to tea party political groups during the 2012 campaign.

Besides, said Carney, Obama’s statement is reasonable. “What we have learned through the independent [inspector general] and the [congressional] testimony we have seen, completely backs up what the president has said,” Carney told ABC’s Jon Karl.

The IRS’ decisions were simply “bone-headed decisions out of a local office,” Obama claimed
in the interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.

Obama’s public intervention during a FBI investigation might amount to obstruction of justice, said one lawyer who has been watching the scandal.
