The relationship between the Center for American Progress and the administration violates their non-profit status. According to former employee, Zaid Jilani, wrote that they were not allowed to report anything speaking badly about the administration's policies. "Soon afterwards all of us ThinkProgress national security bloggers were called into a meeting with CAP senior staff and basically berated for opposing the Afghan war and creating daylight between us and Obama." "phone calls from the White House started pouring in, berating my bosses for being critical of Obama on this policy. "
How does CAP keep their non-profit status? Their former director, John Podesta, has re-joined the Obama administration as a senior counselor, his ties to CAP and that organization need to be investigated.
