There are also a couple of other links on Rush's website to a couple of articles that aren't as complete as the LA Times editorial. The best place to go, however, is the audio transcript. Gorelick's name came up when a caller called and told Tom Sullivan about her involvement.

Jamie Gorelick, a former Fannie vice chairman, who has served as deputy attorney general, the Pentagon's top lawyer...

She and her ilk gave/gives both the Pentagon and the State Department a bad name......honesty is not the name! Private sand box for PPPs should be exposed as well as Ms. Gorelick...keep the heat on that woman...is she the reason Ms. Clinton found a slot on the Armed Services Committee? Maybe some of the Super Bloggers can connect the dots!

The Democratic Crime Syndicate, the anti-freedom enemy within.

What's gonna be interesting, PGalt, is how the Dim-Demmers and the MSM'ers are gonna spin the Oil For Food by-line mentioned by Volcker the other day . . . that "most" of So-Dumb Insane's misbegotten funds derived from the smuggling trade versus the bribery scams.

I suspect this is right, but I find it highly suspicious that Volcker is drifting off course. He was assigned to audit the Oil for Food transactions . . . yet he's mysteriously veering off course -- a course that'll give Kofi-boy some cover. I'm not surprised though. I'm only surprised that it's so blatantly obvious what he's doing.

In any event . . . let's say Volcker manages to change the subject as it appears he's trying to do. To make Topic One the smuggling. One wonders how the Dim-Demmers and the MSM'ers are gonna blame this on GW since their Main Man was in charge for eight years . . . with Maddy Albright giving the smugglers cover . . . and GW was only around for months.

I believe they'll give it their best shot . . . but we've got their numbers now. LOL. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

INITIAL STATEMENT OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

When Gorelick wasn't busy cooking the books of Fannie Mae, she was cooking the books of the 911 Commission.

Martha Stewart languishes in jail for much less.

What would the "right wing" media do if Gorelick was a Republican?

She and her fellow cronies will never let this huge scandal blossom into another ENRON...the media will be on their side and will make excuses for not covering the details or will make excuses for their actions...

I'm surprised Gorelick has not been sited for conflict of interest due to her activities on the 9-11 Commission.

The DC Bar Association website cites 18 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1)) which imposes a permanent bar against a former employee of the executive branch of the United States, "knowingly mak[ing], with the intent to influence, any communication to or appearance before any officer or employee of any department, agency, court, or court martial of the United States on behalf of another person in connection with a "particular matter"

in which the former government employee while in government "participated personally and substantially," and which involved "a specific party or parties" at that time.

The URL is: http://www.dcbar.org/for_lawyers/ethics/legal_ethics/610.cfm

Why doesn't this law apply to Gorelick & the 9-11 Commission?

Me, too.

I'm beginning to think she is another Hillary...a shining star of her college class who gets so many headlines that her misdeeds can be hidden in plain sight.

Radcliffe To Honor Nine for their Achievements

As the U.S. deputy attorney general from 1994 to 1997, [snip]

She has recently been named vice chair of Fannie Mae, [snip]

From 1975 to 1993, Gorelick was a litigator with the Washington, D.C., firm of Miller, Cassidy, Larroca and Lewin, served as vice chair of the task force on the Evaluation of the Audit, Investigation and Inspection Components of the Department of Defense, and was assistant to the Secretary and counselor to the Deputy Secretary of Energy.

In 1993, Gorelick was appointed general counsel of the Department of Defense, serving as chief legal officer among the 6,000 lawyers within the department. [snip]

Gorelick graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and Radcliffe with an A.B. in 1972 and earned a J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1975.

Honored as the Woman Lawyer of the Year by the Women's Bar Association in 1993,[snip]

From 1992 to 1993, she was president of the D.C. Bar, then a 60,000-member association. [snip]

Come to think of it, after reading her write-up, I'd say she has much more on her resume than Hillary does.

A little help, please.

From the WASHINGTON Times article: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and Treasury Secretary John W. Snow have long campaigned to impose tougher oversight on both companies. Greenspan and Snow have warned that serious troubles at either company could threaten the nation's entire financial system. And lawmakers who were defeated this year in overhauling the regulatory system plan to try again next year.


Who were the lawmakers? Dims, GOP, both?
