More like Corzine owes Obama big money, and Obama can’t collect if Corzine is behind bars.
REVEALED: CORZINE’S MF Global Was Client of Eric Holders Law Firm / By Wynton Hall / breitbart.com
Those wondering why the DOJ has refused to go after Jon Corzine for the vaporization of $1.6 billion in MF Global client funds need look no further than the documents uncovered by the Government Accountability Institute that reveal that the now-defunct MF Global was a client of AG Eric Holder and Asst AG Lanny Breuers former law firm, Covington & Burling. Theres more. Records also reveal that MF Globals trustee for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy retained as its general bankruptcy counsel Morrison & Foerester—the very law firm from which Associate AG Tony West came to DOJ. And more.
As GAI President Peter Schweizer explains in the Washington Times Thursday, the trustee overseeing MF Globals bankruptcy is former FBI Director Louis Freeh. At Holders 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.
Until now, the conventional wisdom for why Holder wouldnt throw the book at Corzine was that Corzine is an Obama campaign bundler. Indeed, as Breitbart News reported, four of the top officials at the DOJ—Eric Holder, Thomas Perrelli, Karol Mason, and Tony West—were also big money bundlers for Obama. But the newly understood crony connections reveal conflicts of interest that extend well beyond mere political support for a common candidate—they go to a tangle of prior business dealings that further underscore the need for a special prosecutor in the Corzine case.
At least 65 members of Congress have already signed a letter to Holder requesting that he appoint a special prosecutor to investigate MF Globals collapse and the loss of $1.6 billion. Whats more, even progressives have begun to wonder whether Holders Covington & Burling connection explains why the DOJ has not charged, prosecuted, or jailed a single Wall Street executive after the biggest financial collapse in American history.
As Richard Eskow of the Huffington Post recently wrote: More and more Washington insiders are asking a question that was considered off-limits in the nation’s capital just a few months ago: Who, exactly, is Holder representing? As scandal after scandal erupts on Wall Street, involving everything from global lending manipulation to cocaine and prostitution, more and more people are worrying about Holder’s seeming inaction — or worse — in the face of mounting evidence.
This isnt going away. Both the left and the right are onto Holders Wall Street head fake. With the revelation of the new crony connections, the time for Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor in the Corzine/MF Global case is now.
