It's not often that one person plays key roles in two -- count 'em, two -- trillion-dollar disasters. Welcome, my friends, to the world of well-connected Democrat Jamie Gorelick.
In 2004, observers were "astonished" to discover that a key member of the 9/11 Commission had a fatal conflict-of-interest. Jamie Gorelick had served as a Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1997.....

“Jamie Gorelick, Mistress of Disaster”
She seems to have the fecal-midas touch; everything she touches turns to sh..
When is someone going to jail for the Mac and Mae scandals?

“Even though she had no previous training nor experience in finance, Gorelick was appointed Vice Chairman of FNMA from 1997 to 2003. She served alongside former Clinton Administration official Franklin Raines, and earned over 26 million during her six years there. During that period, FNMA developed a $10 billion accounting scandal. One example of falsified financial transactions that helped the company meet earnings targets for 1998, a “manipulation” that triggered multimillion-dollar bonuses for top executives. Gorelick received $779,625. On March 25, 2002, Business Week interviewed Gorelick about the health of “Fanny Mae”. Gorelick is quoted as saying, “We believe we are managed safely. We are very pleased that Moody’s gave us an A-minus in the area of bank financial strength — without a reference to the government in any way. Fannie Mae is among the handful of top-quality institutions.” One year later, Government Regulators “accused Fannie Mae of improper accounting to the tune of $9 billion in unrecorded losses”.
She has, I think, managed to pocket -- for herself -- upwards of 10 million dollars as a result of her tenure at Fannie Mae.
She was also hired by Duke University to defend against a suit brough by the Lacrosse players.
She seems to be wired into the whole left thing.
$26 million, not $10 million
she was a very hard worker
Gorelick has been mentioned as atty general in a Obamachev admin.
"If Holder's not interested in becoming attorney general, there is another ex-deputy attorney general who might say yes. Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner Jamie Gorelick was chief legal policy adviser during Hillary Clinton's presidential bid and, like Holder, served as the Justice Department's No. 2 under Bill Clinton.
"When asked if she would be willing to head Justice, Gorelick says, 'I am not as anxious to get back into government as others might be,' but adds, 'I clearly would like to help any Democratic president.'
"Despite her ties to the Clintons, Gorelick says she 'will be in with Obama with both feet.' She says she has had conversations with the Obama campaign and that she expects Obama will 'call upon the many talents in the Democratic Party' to help him get elected.
Since John Edwards is unavailable. Gad, what a choice.
The same good folks that make the engine for the F-22 and the Blackhawk Helicopters, ( Pratt and Whitney and Sikorsky respectively).
Go figure......
Schlumberger oil service company too. Also CFR member.
The Republicrats really take care of their people.
I know this woman (or at least her ‘type’)
They are so stupid and annoying that they get promoted out of their league just to get them the hell away from you and because they make a skill out of destrying people for personal gain. Fear of getting beat up on the ball park as a child is nothing compared to fear of losing your job, your family, and your future.
They get APPOINTED to position after position not out of any merits but because of the connections, and they learn to profit from this and step on others for fun.
Then they make decisions...
And the rest of us pay for it.
The “GORELICK WALL” IS ALSO AT LEAST PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11
Double posts often happen when you have a worn out clicker in your mouse. I think a software modification at freerepublic can correct for that.
Gorelick earned $26 million at Fannie? I think I am going to be ill.
