Jon Corzine's Get Out of Jail Free Card: Eric Holder
Ever wonder why Jon Corzine isn't behind bars yet? Or why the Justice Department doesn't seem particularly interested in getting to the bottom of MF Global's missing $1.6 billion dollars?
Breitbart.com found the answer: Eric Holder used to be MF Global's lawyer.
Documents uncovered by the Government Accountability Institute reveal that the now-defunct MF Global was a client of Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer's former law firm, Covington & Burling.
There's more.
Records also reveal that MF Global's trustee for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy retained as its general bankruptcy counsel Morrison & Foerester--the very law firm from which Associate Attorney General Tony West came to DOJ.
Can you smell the cronyism yet?
The trustee overseeing MF Global's bankruptcy is former FBI Director Louis Freeh. At Holder's Senate confirmation hearing Freeh served as a character witness for Holder and revealed that Holder had previously worked for Freeh. "As general counsel," Freeh said, "I could have engaged any lawyer in America to represent our bank. I chose Eric."
It's good to have friends!
Wouldn't it be great if Mitt Romney started asking questions about Eric Holder's committment to prosecution of financial fraud? Let's see Obama claim Executive Privilege over this fiasco!
