Another Brick In 'The Wall'?

Transition: Jamie Gorelick may be back, this time as attorney general. It was her "wall of separation" that that left us blind pre-9/11. And let's not forget her admirable service at Fannie Mae.
Not many people can claim to have been at the center of arguably the greatest financial disaster and greatest national security disaster in American history. But Gorelick, said to be on the short list for attorney general by the New York Times, can. Surely that qualifies her for further government service. Gorelick earned an estimated $26 million serving as vice chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003. In 1998, according to the Washington Post , Gorelick received a bonus of $779,625, despite a scandal in which employees falsified signatures on accounting transactions to manipulate books to meet 1998 earning targets.
In 2003, she got a "Friends of Angelo" sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide Financial for almost $1 million. Her $960,000 mortgage refinancing in 2003 was handled through a program reserved for influential figures and friends of Countrywide's chief executive at the time, Angelo Mozilo.
Countrywide's loans on preferential terms to influential figures are the subject of a federal grand jury investigation in Los Angeles, according to people involved in the inquiry. So Gorelick is in fact under investigation by the department she might soon be running.

For her nightmarish role in causing 9-11, for her cooking the Fannie Books, for stealing $26 million from Fannie Mae, for taking blatant bribes from sub-prime crooks, for being at the center of arguably the greatest financial disaster and greatest national security disaster in American history....
THIS IS OBAMA'S CHOICE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL??????
HOLY S**T!

She looks like Edith Bunker, but she’s more of a dingbat.

A picture is worth a thousand words and an animated gif is worth a thousand pictures. Who is that waste product, and how can he say so much about what is wrong with our country in so few words?

It’s hard to imagine doing all that and coming back for more. I hope someone puts her in for the Order of Lenin. Clearly above and beyond the call of duty -for some other nation.
To: Kaslin
This incompetent pig got millions of dollars in bonuses, besides a salary, from Fannie Mae, as a Board member.
She also covered up for the Clintons and their leftists who allowed 9/11 to happen. Richard Ben Veniste was added to the 9/11 Commission to help her. He was the hatchman, she was the mastermind of the coverup.
She is worse than a traitor. She is a pure, unmitigated fool.
To: Kaslin
I’m sure she’ll be welcome at Goldman Sachs if this doesn’t work out.

Obama and his appointees all seem to have a lot of ties with Fannie Mae. There is a story there, I smell it.
