I'm gonna try to get this out one more time! Pay attention. (Lam)

This is important, I think.

Although the whole situation in SoCal appears to be a tad more widespread than just Carol Lam.

More on that after I point out the most agrieved example of the abuse of the DOJ: Sibel Edmonds which is an amazing story of the early abuse for covering corruption, espionage, drugs, congressmen and yadda yadda. Permanently gaged by AG Ashcroft. This stroke of JustUs quashed all the investigations.

Then there was the story of Frederick K Black US Attorney in Guam, investigating Jack Abramoff in 2002. Need I say more?

More recently there's Peter Clark who was trying to conduct an investigation into (who else?) Halliburton's violations of the Foriegn Corrupt Practices Act.

These are three examples that date back to nearly the beginnings of the Bushite power grab. Each individually horrific in its own are used here to simply establish the pattern of subverting justice. Putting the thumb on the scale if you will. So is it any surprise when the Lam story is told.

So, back to sunny SoCal, and Carol, possibly fired as punishment for Cunningham, who leads to the WH. Right before she left she delivered indictments of Foggo and Wilkes, and possibly turned over to the LA office A case regarding Rep. Jerry Lewis (an unfortunate but perhaps apt name) who has already lawyered up at Gibson Dunn, a big LA firm.

That case would have landed on the desk of Debra Wong Yang, the United States Attorney for the Central District of California in Los Angeles. Now, Ol Debbie there, I don't think was on the enemies list, but, she did leave the office for private practice at (you might have guessed it) Gibson Dunn. She allegedly got a tidy signing bonus to the tune of $1.5 Mil.

But wait! There's More!

Douglas M. Fuchs will join the firm's Los Angeles office as of counsel (sic). Fuchs was previously an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California, where he served as Deputy Chief of the Major Frauds Section. - Forbes

As a bonus, let me throw in this!

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that Maurice Suh, the former Deputy Mayor of Homeland Security and Public Safety for the City of Los Angeles will join the firm as partner in the Los Angeles office.

Previously, Suh has served as the former Deputy Chief of the Public Corruption and Government Fraud Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles and was a partner at Howrey LLP. Suh will focus his practice at Gibson Dunn on complex commercial litigation, internal corporate investigations, and defense of government investigation and enforcement actions. Suh will also work with partner Robert Bonner, the former head of the Customs Department and a former federal judge, in the firm’s fast-growing homeland security practice.

So I guess if you can't beat them, buy them.

This whole thing is just a continuation of the systemic obstruction at JustUs. No wonder I'm disgusted.
