Shoes Keep Dropping to Mark Trail of Corruption

It's getting to be like living in an apartment below one in which is centipede is getting ready to go to bed. To see the latest, look at this Wall Street Journal report.

After reading the report you might wonder who Jamie Gorelick is. She is a political insider who in the Clinton administration's Justice Department facilitated the 9/11 attacks by erecting the wall that prevented our intelligence and law enforcement agencies from sharing information with one another. She then was named to the 9/ll commission where she had a task similar to that performed by Sandy Burglar at the National Archives. Both acted to prevent any evidence of failures by them and the Clinton administration to take actions that might have prevented the catastrophic attacks of September 11, 2001.

Ms. Gorelick apparently was rewarded for these actions by the Fannie Mae job for which she received $26 million as well as the Countrywide v.i.p. loan detailed in the Wall Street Journal article.

Among other recipients of Countrywide v.i.p. loans detailed in the Journal article were Franklin Raines, former Clinton administration budget director, who received $50 million for serving as Fannie Mae's CEO, and James Johnson, another former Fannie Mae CEO who also was paid millions of dollars by it.

Creating a crisis obviously can be profitable as well as fun.

As stated previously, a self respecting citizenry would be gathering in Washington, D.C. with more than torches and pitchforks. They would be assembling gallows and carrying tar and feathers.
