This is the same attorney general who refuses to disclose the legal reasoning behind the presumption that the president is entitled to kill American Citizens at home or abroad without due process of law.
Also the same attorney general who has so far only prosecuted bit players in the nationwide mortgage document fraud without even bringing charges against executives whose name is on memos ordering the fraudulent practice.
If you're wondering why justice in this country appears to be available only to those who can afford it... He is the prime mechanism of failure.
- aamar 14y agoWould appreciate a link to information about executives whose name is on memos ordering the fraudulent practice. I understand that there is evidence of fraudulent mortgages, and executives involved in risky financial behavior, but I am not aware of something tying the executives to the fraud.
- Torgo 14y agoIf you can find the full video of this hearing on C-SPAN or something, both before and after you can hear him taking questions on the lack of HSBC/bank executive prosecutions, as well as the issue of drone killings of Americans on American soil while not engaged in activities that present immediate and clear danger. You won't be satisfied with the answers, but they are there. The man is a world-class expert at giving responses that don't answer the question.
- gamblor956 14y agoThe original legal memo justifying the case for killing Americans pursuant to the war on terror was written by John Yoo while working for the Bush Administration. John Yoo is also famous for writing the torture memo. He is currently, to the great shame of all alumni, employed as a professor at the UC Berkeley, in the law school.
