I don’t understand how Holder can get away with this.
Isn’t there some judge in charge of the settlement?
Maybe I just don’t understand this well enough.
And how come no one is going to jail over this?
here’s the rest of the judicial watch post:
In effect, the government has ordered the nations largest bank to create a massive slush fund for Democrat special interests, states the editorial which reveals that radical Democrat activist groups stand to collect millions from Holders record deal with Bank of America. The recession has dried up funding for such groups. But Holders massive bank shakedown could rebuild their war chests in a hurry. The piece also points out that Holder has brokered other similar deals that will provide more back-door funding for the Democrat groups. They include a $13 billion agreement with JPMorgan Chase and a $7 billion deal with Citibank.
Judicial Watch has investigated these controversial arrangements of funneling big portions of cash settlements from civil rights lawsuits to organizations not officially connected to the cases. In fact, back in 2010 JW sued the DOJ to obtain information about the outrageous policy. In response to our lawsuit the DOJ was forced to acknowledge that it has no official guidelines regarding qualified organizations that get leftover settlement funds and that it doesnt monitor how the money is used.
