In an interview, Ms. Gorelick said she had no knowledge of receiving special treatment.

I'm surprised they could find her, to "interview" her about it.

So what? I really don’t understand why this would matter?
Was it illegal? Was it QPQ? Who cares?

Yep and it’s time to make this Jamie Gorelick pay. What makes me really angry is that this person(if that’s what you want to call her)could sit in public knowing full well that she was part of this subversion on America.

I say not only jail her; but try her for treason. It’s time to make this criminal and Anti-America scum pay.

How come none of these guys ever talk about Alphonso Jackson Bush appointee and crony who also received loans from Countrywide and was forced to resign from his post as Secretary of HUD.

Gorelick Ordering Mudd to write the loan!

Surprise, surprise! A roughly million dollar refinance with the blessing of Countrywide’s CEO. Why would anyone think different. Gorelick, the only individual within the U.S. government who had her dirty little hands in the worst security lapse in my lifetime; 9/11 (with her stint at Justice while she constructed her so called “wall” between intelligence gathering agencies), and the worst financial meltdown with her stewardship at Fannie. All this while Chris Dodd, Barak Obama, John Kerry, and Barney Frank line up at the trough.

Do they ever have any knowledge of receiving special treatment? Amazing how people dealing with millions in loans are totally unaware of what kind of deal they got.

Somehow, we have to get the news out to Americans that this is almost entirely a Democrat-created mess. I don’t know how; the MSM is running interference for the RATS, as usual.

But it has to be done.

By TERRY JONES
INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, September 24, 2008 4:30 PM PT

One of the most frequently asked questions about the subprime market meltdown and housing crisis is: How did the government get so deeply involved in the housing market?

Jaime S(candal) Gorelick

(No link)

JUSTICE’S NO. 2 STAYS ORGANIZED ON JOB, AT HOME
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PA) - December 26, 1996
Author: JACK TORRY, POST-GAZETTE WASHINGTON BUREAU

EXCERPT

As the Pentagon’s general counsel in 1993, she drafted the controversial ``don’t ask, don’t tell’’ policy that allowed gays to serve in the military but pleased neither gay rights advocates nor their foes. And some women’s organizations privately fume that Gorelick does not aggressively promote a feminist agenda.

Gorelick was advising Zoe E. Baird to prepare for her Senate confirmation hearings in 1993, after Clinton nominated Baird as attorney general. But Baird had to withdraw her name after a firestorm arose over her employment of an illegal-alien nanny for whom she had failed to pay Social Security taxes. Gorelick vastly underestimated the public outrage that revelation would provoke.

And Gorelick supports Reno’s recent decision, unpopular with many Republicans, not to name an independent counsel to investigate questions about foreign contributions to the Democratic National Committee in this year’s campaign.

Just this fall, Clinton passed her over for promotion to either the CIA helm or to head another Cabinet agency, prompting one female GOP attorney to call Gorelick ``the woman who’s always a bridesmaid and never a bride.’’

Prosecutors are warned of fallout from FBI lab scandal
Houston Chronicle - February 14, 1997
Author: MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN, Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has advised 50 prosecutors, half in state and local governments, that FBI lab problems could affect their cases. And that figure might grow, Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick said Thursday

“In each of the cases . . . there could be an issue raised by defense counsel,” Gorelick said at a news conference. “We’re just going to have to see how each court reacts to each separate fact pattern that’s presented” before anyone can say whether lab errors will harm the prosecutions. But a lawyer for the whistle-blower who first made allegations about lab errors said Gorelick was minimizing the problem.

Investigator or obstructionist? - Gorelick laid foundation of intelligence failures
Washington Times, The (DC) - May 19, 2004
Author: David N. Bossie, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES

EXCERPT

Documents just released by Justice trace the building of the wall , starting with Ms. Gorelick instructions to Mary Jo White, then prosecuting the blind sheik for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Ramsey Yousef for terrorist activities, to separate counterintelligence and criminal investigations.

Ms. Gorelick ‘s direction to Ms. White created barriers “which go beyond what is legally required, will prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is being used to avoid procedural safeguards . . .” This was the very foundation of the wall .

Over Ms. White’s complaints, this became the new Justice Department policy. Documents show Ms. Gorelick directly reviewed Ms. White’s suggestions, some were changed, some rejected and some included. Ms. Gorelick then sent the policy with a hand-written note indicating her approval to the attorney general. The attorney general formalized Ms. Gorelick ‘s new policy in July 1995.

Boeing Hires a Legal Team to Handle Scandal Cases
By TIM WEINER

Published: February 4, 2005

Abstract: Boeing Co, facing legal problems at Pentagon and Justice Department, hires Jamie S Gorelick and Richard Cullen, politically experienced outside lawyers; company is under fire for unethical handling of Pentagon contracts and trade secrets obtained from Lockheed Martin; cases reviewed (M)

EXCERPT

One of Boeing’s biggest critics in Washington, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, is expected to intensify his war of words against the company after Congress reconvenes. Mr. McCain, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, helped kill a $23 billion Air Force plan to lease Boeing aircraft tankers after Ms. Druyun admitted she had fixed a higher price on the contract as a gift to Boeing.

Duke bolsters legal team in fighting lawsuit - Ex-deputy attorney general to help against lacrosse players’ case
Herald-Sun, The (Durham, NC) - February 6, 2008
Author: Ray Gronberg

DURHAM — Duke University has added a former deputy attorney general of the United States to the legal team that will defend it against a federal civil-rights lawsuit filed by three members of the 2005-06 men’s lacrosse team.

Court papers filed this week indicate that Washington, D.C., attorney Jamie Gorelick will assist two Greensboro litigators in representing the school. They’re also the attorneys of record for the Duke University Police Department, Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Steel, school President Richard Brodhead and numerous other university officials.
