Mkuu, naona kuna jamaa anapiga chabo, kulikoni?

Nadhani ni kuwashtua watu kama mkutano umekwisha.

Jamaa waliozamia sasa wanaeza kufunguliwa mashtaka.

AP - Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the couple who crashed the White House state dinner, may face criminal charges, the Secret Service announced today.

Jim Mackin, the agency's spokesman, said this is one reason the Secret Service has kept mum about what happened when the couple, who are auditioning for the Bravo reality show "The Real Housewives of DC", arrived at the security checkpoint Tuesday. They were not on the guest list for the dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh but managing to get into the party, where they posed for photos with Vice President Joe Biden and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

"As this moves closer to a criminal investigation there's less that we can say," Mackin said. "I don't want to jeopardize what could be a criminal investigation. We're not leaving any option off the table at this point

It was not immediately clear what charges would be pursued. The Salahis lawyer, Paul Gardner, posted a comment on their Facebook page saying, "My clients were cleared by the White House, to be there."
He said more information would be forthcoming.

Attempts to reach Gardner on Friday were not immediately successful.
Michaele Salahi's hairdresser at the Georgetown salon where she scheduled a last-minute appointment hours before the dinner said she asked to look at the invitation to the White House event, but never saw it.

"She was so excited. She told me that she got it in the mail and it was just an amazing feeling and they couldn't wait and in fact they called the White House, I believe, to make sure that she was going to be dressed appropriately," Peggy Ioakim told CBS' "The Early Show" on Friday. Salahi wore a red sari to the dinner.

Bravo Media, meanwhile, confirmed that on the day of the dinner Michaele Salahi was being filmed around Washington and while she prepared for the dinner by a film crew connected with the network's reality show, "The Real Housewives of D.C.," because she is being considered for the upcoming TV program.

Kwa mara ya kwanza katika jukwaa hili nimetoa pongenzi, si kwa sababu zimeletwa picha za watu mashuhuri wenye rangi nyeusi, bali kwa sababu umeuonesha usahihi na kusifia uhalisi. Katika hili, picha ya thamani inajidhihilisha, Mungu ndiye anayeyajua makusudi yake, ni vyema tukawa nyuma ya yule anayeonesha kuwa na mtizamo wa kuiongoza dunia kuthubutu kumtaja Mungu kwa haki.
