WHo IS LoReTTa LYNCH?
Conservative news site Breitbart on Saturday criticized President Obama's nominee for attorney general, Loretta Lynch, over her involvement in the Whitewater corruption investigation.
There's just one hitch: the Loretta Lynch Obama nominated to his cabinet and the Loretta Lynch who served as one of Bill Clinton's defense attorneys during the Whitewater probe are two entirely different people.
Introducing the real Loretta Lynch...

The Republican Senate Will Love Loretta Lynch
09 November 14
fter the news broke of Eric Holder’s departure from the DOJ, I called on President Obama to nominate Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, based on his exemplary record of defending consumers and citizens from predatory banks, big oil, insurance companies, and the pharmaceutical industry. My more cynical readers commented that Obama was too much of a corporatist to nominate Hood, and that whoever Holder’s successor would be, they would be completely subservient to the banks. And after the news of Lynch’s nomination and looking into her past, I can say with confidence that those readers were right.
Right after graduating from law school, Lynch went to work as a litigation assistant for the prestigious New York-based law firm Cahill Gordon & Reindel between 1984 and 1990. CG&R attorneys represented some of the more notorious figures behind the Savings and Loan Scandal of the 1980s and 1990s, including a man who had personal dealings with Charles Keating. In its profile of Lynch, the DOJ’s own website describes her as someone with extensive experience in “white collar criminal defense.” It’s very likely that Lynch went from Harvard straight to defending some of the worst financial criminals the country had ever seen at the time. On CG&R’s website, the “securities litigation and white collar defense” section describes the kind of crooks the firm defends:
Recent matters include the alleged manipulation of the US Dollar London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and multi-billion dollar federal and state court class and individual actions involving subprime and structured finance products.… We have handled some of the most significant investigations arising from existing and emerging regulation in the white collar arena, including for some of the largest transnational companies and banks as well as the largest securities rating agency.… Our securities litigation and white collar defense practice is top-ranked by Chambers USA, The Legal 500 and Benchmark Litigation.
Lynch basically got her first six years of white collar criminal defense experience working at the firm that is currently responsible for keeping the bankers behind the great subprime mortgage grift out of jail. CG&R is also defending the financial institutions that jacked up interest rates on everything from student loans to home loans out of greedy self-interest. They even defended the agencies that knowingly rated worthless mortgage-backed securities as AAA, setting up millions to lose their retirement savings in a snap.
After six years of exemplary work at this soulless law firm, Lynch walked through the revolving door to the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Eastern district of New York, which plays a major part in investigating financial crimes. She gradually worked her way up the ladder, going from an assistant U.S. attorney in 1990 to becoming the unit’s Deputy Chief of General Crimes in 1993. She was chief of the office’s Long Island division by 1998, and was tapped as U.S. Attorney by June of 1999, where she remained until 2001. Then, Lynch walked back through the revolving door to return to defending the worst of America’s worst corporate criminals.
Lynch couldn’t wait to get started at the Hogan & Hartson law firm (now known as Hogan Lovells). Interestingly enough, Lynch was a partner at Hogan, working alongside John Roberts, the current chief justice of what is the most corporate-friendly Supreme Court in decades. Hogan’s website doesn’t list its past clients, but you can get a pretty good idea by visiting the site’s “financial institutions” section:
We represent banks, brokers, insurers, asset managers, investment funds, regulators, and other market participants, large and small, on the full range of legal services. This includes corporate, competition, employment, finance, IT, intellectual property, litigation, pensions, real estate and tax.
As soon as Lynch joined Hogan in 2002, she interrupted her own vacation, came to the office without pay and immediately got to work defending an Arthur Andersen partner who had helped cook the books for Enron. From 2003 to 2005, Lynch sat on the board of the New York Federal Reserve, working directly under future U.S. Treasury secretary Tim Geithner. The New York Fed has been widely documented for its incestuous relationships with the big Wall Street banks it’s supposed to regulate. The revolving door spun once again in 2010, when President Obama appointed Lynch to her old job as U.S. Attorney of New York’s Eastern District.
Drawing on her past experience of standing up for white collar crooks, Lynch has spent the last four years treating big banks with kid gloves. Under Lynch’s oversight, the U.S. government allowed HSBC to pay a fine that amounted to five weeks of profit for the bank after they admitted to laundering $800 million for Mexican drug cartels. Lynch was also responsible for Citibank paying a $7 billion settlement-- $3.8 billion of which was later billed to U.S. taxpayers – rather than going to jail over misleading millions of investors about mortgage-backed securities that were doomed to fail.
There’s really no question about whether or not Lynch will survive her senate confirmation hearing. Senator Dick Durbin once referred to his chamber as overly subservient to the big banks, saying, “They own the place.” Bankers everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the president’s pick for the nation’s top lawyer won’t try to put any of them in jail. The senators they sponsored in the last election cycle will likely confirm her with haste.

What will be the very first thing that Loretta Lynch will do on her first day?
Call Yellen and ask, "How may I further be at your service?"
An American, not US subject.
"Guillotine maintenance tip #34: Vaseline is a better lube for the blade's fall-slot than automotive grease, as it is has a lower viscosity even in cold temperatures."
for so very long, the amorican lexicon was lacking an appelation for the female uncle-tom; but now, praise be, we finally have a term to describe just such:
(drum-roll) introducing auntie-lynch...the step & fetch for the feminine.
but, seriously, i was wondering how long it would take for this white house to get lynched...six years is four more than i expected. but a lynchin is still a lynchin, delay or no.
furthermore, this is a significant relief. no longer will we suffer through anymore scandals like 'fast & furious'; instead, check your local listings for 'meandering & menopausal'. but the relief doesn't stop there. it's comforting to know that our nation's top-cop has such an illustrious career in law enforcement. mlk's dream has finally been fulfilled; no longer is an individual's skin color, sex or creed a considered credential, it is the ONLY qualifying factor. loretta lynch has secured her position by dint of skin color, sex & creed (and 'slavish' obeisance to wall street)...this is progress indeed!
never, not in all my days, did i think i'd look back with longing & nostalgia to the tenure of john ashcroft...what the fuck is going on? many of us here in the bay colony thought that our retiring governor, deval patrick, would get the nod as this country's chief law enforcement officer; but deval isn't woman enough to suit the tastes of the decider, valerie jarrett...i mean, huessian obama. and that's the most disturbing element of all this; Lord knows deval is all woman, and yet he was passed over simply because he was born with that pesky y chromosome. this glass ceiling has become an impenetrable bullet-proof casing. it's now gotten so bad that a man can spend his entire life doing all he can to purge from his mien and manner everything even remotely masculine, only to find that that drag-coefficient betwixt his legs will stunt his every ambition.
poor-poor deval....here's a song from THE Loretta. it's entitled, "you ain't woman enough":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W9zQD8KYew
but, AG lynch, allow janus to give you some sage advice: first and foremost, an indictment, if it's to be issued at all, is predicated on the criminal's net-worth and net-worth alone. you cannot just go about enforcing the law when rich-folk break it, that would be criminal in modern amorica. additionally, the law in this country, and the relative priorities associated with each and all, is a matter of trendiness. that is to say, if a crime is to be prosecuted as such, it must meet one of several criteria: 1) does the offense jibe with fashionable notions and/or the hippest of hip causes? 2) does the prosecution of said crime satisfy the protean and nonsensical impetus of 'progress'? 3) will valerie jarrett approve? 4) will rachel maddow approve? 5) (and this is the most important one) will this prosecution jeopardize your ability to amass and hide the illicit wealth you'll 'earn' whilst going about your steppin & fetchin?
AG lynch, in this world there is a single, salient choice: you either get the villa in the carribbean or you get honor. you cannot have both. i already know you've made the practical choice; otherwise, you'd have never been nominated as AG in modern amorica. if it isn't yet clear, your entire career has been a process of conditioning and vetting. you've exchanged the joys of youth, motherhood, family, vitality, independence, honor and all the rest to demonstrate your fealty to wickedness; and now the scheming gremlins approve. bravo, auntie-lynch! you're quite the role-model. now, young black women across this country will look to you for inspiration and conclude that 'making-it' is a matter of loyalty and self-abasing subservience to withered, wrinkled and wrathful white men presiding over banks and other boardrooms.
but, look, don't get sour about all this...you'll surely exercise your pent-up fury on a few token withered white men, so long as you get the green light to do so (read: they ain't wealthy enough to exist in the extra-legal ether of monied lawlessness); and so mammy will be right-proud of ya. but, at the end of it all, don't be surprised when you've at long last secured that villa and the numbered account is stuffed sufficient to sit back with ease...no, don't be surprised when some withered white man 'accidentally' mistakes you for the help and orders you to step & fetch him a martini -- extra dry.

Steppin & Fetchin, isn't that an Atlanta law firm?
no, my brother...but many make that mistake. the firm to which you're referring is called stepinski & fetchinstein. they specialize in bankruptcies from title-loan defaults and fighting all usury laws. their great, great, great granddaddies came to dixie as carpet-baggers, and then set up shop as pawn-brokers. and now they've climbed to estimable heights in the pyramid of parasites.
great work of late, btw. i don't know about you, but the change of seasons inspires something in me...not necessarily the weather itself, just the change and ever-spinning cycles of life made manifest in the environment. which is why i doubt i'll ever make a home in a place like california. don't get me wrong, i love cali (it is a paradise on earth...climactically and environmentally, that is); but there's something about the four seasons and their oscillations that kindles my inner fire.
anyway, i need some advice. it seems i've come down with a serious crush on this little japaneese angel. i don't have a thing for asian chics, per se; it's more specifically an attraction to japaneese girls. she's 22...no, 23...and a bona-fide angel. i was rather overcome with her charms; and since we met in the cab and japaneese girls are so delightfully demure, i didn't want to make her uncomfortable in asking for her email. but, as luck would have it, she offered hers and asked for mine. she's new to boston, fresh from tokyo, and needs to feel welcomed in a new and exciting city...i wouldn't be the gentlemen that i am if'n i didn't oblige.
classic face, elegant and semi-athletic body, so sweet she'd melt if ever she ventured into the rain. i haven't emailed her yet, the address is sitting in my back pocket, warming me always with its presence.
so, i suppose it's a matter of what things i 'shouldn't' say...in other words, are things like hello-kitty jokes verboten?
p.s. today is the 3 year anniversary of my boston mission/adventure/project, and i feel like gettin feisty and pissing off as many as is possible. for the time being, i'm about to wade into the tide waters and collect some clams (burrrr!) for to stew in some home-made chowder. if'n i don't fall to hypothermia, i'll return to begin my mischief making campaign.
i haven't cracked open any beers yet, but for the sake of ceremony: cheers to you WildBill and God bless! WB7 & janus have had us some great times over the years. and here's a double-cheers to many-many more.
auld lang syme,
janus
pardon my poor manners, WB...i forgot to attach the perfect song:

"Poor poor Deval"...
You get a an uptick here and watch where he goes.
Obama, the Republican, starting his lame-duck period with a bang.
Soulless bankers, soulless politicians, soulless attorneys. That's what makes Amerikkka great!
Merika ... "Financial Criminal's Paradise"
Rumor has it that a number of Democrat Senators are going to find excuses to drag out her confirmation until the lame duck session is over. Apparently internal polls showed that Holder's unpopularity with the public at large cost them votes. If they confirm her they think they'll take another vote loss hit given what polling has said about Holder. If her confirmation comes up during Republican control of the Senate and she gets turned down, they can placate the base by blaming the Republicans for her not being confirmed while giving a sigh of relief of not having her killing off total votes prior to the 2016 Presidential election.
They have to vote though. The whole point of the Harry Reid era was to "protect" the democrats on the difficult issues and not allow them to come up for a vote. It's the voting record that matters, now they'll have to.
"Crime never sleeps."
Eric Holder "is" Loretta Lynch!
So, we can count on Fauxcohantas Warren and Dickless Durbin to go thumbs down on this one? After all, they are the protectors of us little guys, not da banks...........
As usual Dexter, you cut right to the point. As Debra Morgan once asked Warren and Durbin, "Don't you have to have a soul before it's in crisis?"
Isn't it interesting how the Cahill firm puffs about its representation of White Collar scumbags. Just what you need on your Schysterbot website so Jamie Dimon will read it on his shitcan iPad in between chemo vomits.
Great.
Just what we need. Another Magic Negro, fluffer to the bankster stars and a race baiting rodeo queen.
Every white cop in Fergeson will be doing time.
Will she wear her Trayvon hoodie in court?
Holder impersonating an Attorney General. Nothing new there.
Too much alum in the lipstick, pal.
Calling a capitalist pig a marxist or communist is very funny (and stupid).
NO-the country doesn't need another black supremicist, racist atty. general. Eric "the Red" has been bad enough!
Nicely done and thanks, WB. I am sure there will be more revelations to come in the near future.
Endeavor to persevere..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsL6mKxtOlQ
Short answer;Another socialist bankster- whore?
And that's the one thing we don't know for sure about her, whether she is in fact a whore. The rest of the information points to more of a pimp type, along the pimp whore spectrum. I'm going with bonified sulphur odored advocate for Lucifer himself, like Holder and Obama, advancing evil as far and fast as the market will bear, Alinsky style.
Hah! Well done WB7.
And yes, let's see if she sends any banksters to jail, or just guppies & no sharks.
its getting harder to get this

Capture what you can before there is no more. rebroadcast as far and wide as you can.
Coal Burner's Daughter.
how well can she evoke the term Executive Privilege, she better brush up on her constitional law breaking
Lynch was in Eastern District of NY which does not include Manhattan, where Wall Street and the banks might be prosecuted by Preet Bharara, Schumer's former lawyer, now US Attorney for Southern District of NY (Manhattan). Like all attorneys and judges in the Second Circuit which includes all of NY State, she is screened for her maximum venality by Schumer. She prosecutes some politicians and protects others, such as Cuomo.
She's a hack from the same racist mold as Holder, selected for her skin color and her venality. The entire Second Circuit is corrupt. TBTP is policy in the Southern District, while Too Connected To Prosecute is the policy in Eastern District.
"...Like all attorneys and judges in the Second Circuit which includes all of NY State, she is screened for her maximum venality by Schumer. She prosecutes some politicians and protects others, such as Cuomo..."
Thanks for posting that, Reaper. I'm not from the East Coast, but anyone that pays attention knows about the Southern District's well-worn corporate kneepads. I was wondering what the deal was with her being from the Eastern District - I never heard much about it, unlike the Southern District. The picture you draw of the Second Circuit and Eastern District's "Too Connected To Prosecute" breaks it down Barney-style for me. I see how that fits in to the overall Lynch package. As someone else said, "God help us all."
The Eastern District is all of Long Island, including Queens and Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The population of the Eastern district is much larger than the Southern District. It includes LaGuardia, Kennedy Airport and most all nautical shipping into NY. The Eastern District is where the mob prosecutions occur. Schumer collects and distributes collected influence money to other Senators thus disguising the NY sources. Justices Kagan and Sotomayer originate from the Second Circuit.

Oh fuck another psychopath will be confirmed for a well paying job and her job duties consist of "do nothing to uphold the constitution." Makes my eyes tear up jus' t' be a Amerikun these days. Everyday a new surprise. I'm going to watch silent movies and get drunk!
nicely done.
Think I read this piece over the weekend; was it Blacklisted News or Global Research or Naked Capitalism? Anyhow, Lynch seems to be par for the course. She and Obombya will make a great team. Fun stuff, WB VII!
Probably the news aggregator BLN.
A link to a link, no doubt.
It COULD have been What Really Happened, though. Micheal Rivero is pretty feisty when it comes to news aggregation. HELL, it could have been any number of places (like Jeff Rense or Steve Quayle). I don't see Global Research posting first as things go, and 'Naked Capitalism' MIGHT have (but it's a long shot). BOTH of them, however, get the ZEROHEDGE FEEDS now.
WB7 is actually 'notorious' as an artist in several of the formerly 'off-limits' places as an 'artist who speaks truth to lies'. HELL, even DRUDGE picks up on the ZH articles (FINALLY). CNN seems to be having a hard time with this, though (I see they just got DROPPED by the Dish Network).

"Lynch was a partner at Hogan, working alongside John Roberts, the current chief justice of what is the most corporate-friendly Supreme Court in decades."
Hmmm, I've been trying to wrap my head around HIS DECISION and his explanation of it as a tax when the ObamaBot lawyers argued before different courts that it was not a tax, until it came out that Jonathan Gruber had clarified it earlier, it was all just a lie to allow corporations to rape the young & middle class to begin with.
“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/11/video-stupid-voters-would-have-killed-obamacare/
"..but I’d rather have this law than not.”...he...would rather have it than not...and this douche is tied to Romney at the hip I might add.
Returning to Roberts...
"The Government advances two theories for the proposition that Congress had constitutional authority to enact the individual mandate. First, the Government argues that Congress had the power to enact the mandate under the Commerce Clause. Under that theory, Congress may order individuals to buy health insurance because the failure to do so affects interstate commerce, and could un-dercut the Affordable Care Act’s other reforms. Second, the Government argues that if the commerce power does not support the mandate, we should nonetheless uphold it as an exercise of Congress’s power to tax. According to the Government, even if Congress lacks the power to direct individuals to buy insurance, the only effect of the individual mandate is to raise taxes on those who do not do so, and thus the law may be upheld as a tax."
http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/11-393#writing-Justice Kennedy
And Roberts accepted the latter, which is preposterous on its face, a tax is something levied for voluntary action and profiting on it...TO BE TAXED. The ObamaCare penalty/tax/fine is a "tax" FOR NON-ACTION. Not engaging in private commerce.
The dissent (whatever one thinks of the dissenters personally) nails it and should be read in its entirety, second link.
It was all a scam, top to bottom and completely "lawful" ;-)
Nicely done nmewn. Thank you for the info. It's clear that Lynch is The One that Obama wants, maybe even desperately needs, to direct the .gov defense in SCT case re subsidies in states without exchanges. Possibly her nomination could be less about ideology-a-la Holder, and more about trying to save Obamacare.
+1000; beautiful synopsis!
"..but I’d rather have this law than not.”...he...would rather have it than not...and this douche is tied to Romney at the hip I might add.
In hushed tones, within the Temple in Salt Lake City, when the men take off their undergarments and pretend to be members of the Bohemian Grove, one word is uttered again and again when reconciling Mitt Romney's membership in the 'church' and his governership of Massachusetts:
ROMNEYCARE!
Roberts, still undecided between greed and avarice, probably practiced as a prepubescent male by putting on a black robe and pretending he was the judge of the actions between the two dark masses when they had slight disagreements as to the methods of acheiving their goals of destruction from within the United States.
Appointed by Bush the Younger (and thus beholden), he tried to reconcile his decisions by looking into voodoo law statutes, and wishing to maintain his freindly relationship with Mittens and the Church (and the Obamacare 'BLUEPRINT'), He thusly decided, in all his grandiose and utterly corrupted mind, soul, and body, to ALLOW this heinous piece of utter crap to continue to the point of enaction, thereby bypassing ALL CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
Loretta Lynch worked under Roberts, and Obama appointed her as nominee for 'Attorney General Of The United States' (which, in reality, ceased to exist in 1933).
FUCK. I'm going off on a tangent again.
I sometimes get the feeling we are surrounded by people who have convinced themselves that they are the best snake oil salemen on the planet.
Always follow the money ;-)
It is amusing people still have confidence in the judiciary. They exist to justify tyranny and the destruction of the Constitution. This is the provenance of rhetoric, to convince the masses their enslavenent is just and proper.
Judicial review, as a power, does not exist in the Constitution. If it is not enumerated, it is not legal.
In order of priority:
We the People
The Constitution
Restricted federal government. State government control over ALL other powers not enumerated to the federal government.
ANY law that violates these priorities is null and void. Regardless of what the government or court defecates. Any government which attempts to violate a Constitution its' servants swear an oath to uphold is guilty of treason, pure and simple.
We are citizens of the states we reside within, not the United States.
Ignorance is its' own penalty.
One of the worst aspects of this rogue justice system is with landmark judgments many of them establish a firewall of precedence that becomes impossible to overcome in future related cases, once the foundation of the law is compromised, much that follows in it's footsteps will be as well.
Is it just me, or does anybody else see a " Holder" family resemblance?
Holder's half dimwit
So, a honky in the closet?
[yes, dat's rayciss]
are you trying to say she ISN'T a communist dumb F*CK?
She's the coal miners daughter gone bad.
