Fox Guarding Hen House: Rhee Buddies Up to Duncan During Investigation of DC Cheating Scandal
Michelle Rhee was the chancellor of Washington, D.C. schools from 2007 to 2010, during the time D.C. school officials cheated to raise test scores.

Considering how much the outcome the investigation could influence her career, it would seem a no-brainer that Duncan should not be fraternizing with her.
