The Justice Department Unleashes A Godzilla On Business
Investors.com ^ | June 26, 2014 | IBD Editorial

Politics: After she destroyed Arthur Andersen in a flawed and subsequently overturned prosecution, the Senate has confirmed Leslie Caldwell to lead the DOJ's criminal division, giving her a mandate for even more mayhem.

You'd think someone who had thrown 85,000 people out of work, as this former Enron task force chief prosecutor did in her indictment of Arthur Andersen, before the whole thing was thrown out by a 9-0 Supreme Court, would go quietly from the public spotlight. Not so with Caldwell, a notoriously anti-business activist who in concert with the Obama White House is instead failing upward.

Her appointment over 700 Justice Department lawyers is bad news for an already beleaguered private sector, given her "wise guys" view of Wall Street.

Sidney Powell, former Justice Department counsel, sounded the alarm first. "Americans should brace themselves for an unprecedented assault on businesses, banks and political opponents of this administration — regardless of law or facts," he says in the New York Observer.

"Expect increasing use of the Department of Justice as an instrument of 'terror' to extort large civil penalties or fines from businesses under the threat of criminal prosecution and the death penalty that Ms. Caldwell and her cronies dealt Arthur Andersen."

Caldwell sounds like just the type slimy lawyer 0bama and Holder want, with little make up she'd be a dead ringer for Godzilla.

Her orders are simple: “Cause as much damage as possible.”

Exactly...It’s almost unbelievable how 0bama/Holder have packed the DOJ with leftist commies.

She may be slimy, but Andersen was slimy, flawed prosecution or not. They obviously practiced corruption in flawed audits serving the management of numerous companies that subsequently lost their investors piles of money, while management walked away with the loot. It wasn’t just Enron, and it wasn’t just in its latter years.

Agreed, and if she was an honest prosecutor he wouldn’t have walked. Plain and simple.

The Caldwell radical fuels autoimmune damage.

Autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the governing system both mistakenly and deliberately attacks and destroys healthy body politic.

It is caused by unstable radicals.

The system gets overwhelmed by aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litters.

We must act quickly.

Void the bowels of Washington, D.C. 2014 - 2016

All sides of the issue look like “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” and she looks like the typical preference in big corporate office management and staff. Maybe they deserve each other.

‘This was all planned’: Former IG says Hillary, State Dept. are lying
The New York Post ^ | January 31, 2016 | Paul Sperry

“It will never get to an indictment,” Krongard said. For one, he says, any criminal referral to the Justice Department from the FBI “will have to go through four loyal Democrat women” - Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, who heads the department’s criminal division; Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; and top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.
