The New York Times Eric Lichtblau takes a look at a potential Attorney General nominee in the nascent Barack Obama administration and its a familiar face. Jamie S. Gorelick may be on Obamas short list for AG, but she has been a familiar face during the Bush administration, too. Gorelick served under Janet Reno during the Clinton administration and played a critical role in blinding counterterrorism efforts prior to 9/11:
--snip--
Gorelick would bring corporate experience to an Obama administration in the same way Rahm Emanuel did. Gorelick was vice chairman at Fannie Mae in the years when the GSE fraudulently reported its income. She got a Friends of Angelo sweetheart mortgage for almost a million dollars in 2003, and is currently under investigation by the department she would run if nominated for AG.

All the clandestine Marxist operatives that have conspired for years to bring down the Capitalist nation of America are coming out and coming home to roost in their rightful places, next to the new Marxist dictator of America, Obama
Nah, they're all holdovers from BJ Clinton anyway. GWB was too compassionate to fire them.
He will do that and get rid of all the Bush hold-overs.
And all the Clinton hold-overs Bush shoud have broomed.
You mean that her and Gore are that good of buddy’s.
She is the freakin’ MISTRESS OF DISASTER. Had a hand in 9/11 AND the credit crisis. Jeez, it just keeps getting better.
With nary a word from our beloved W.
Sound like a way to carry on the failed policies of Bill Clinton, to borrow a phrase.
If they are trully re-treading the entire Clinton posse, why didn’t the Dems just elect Hillary?
Somebody hasta ask it ;).
IMO, this is bait and switch. Float a Gorelick trial balloon, then pull back and nominate someone equally as dangerous. Everyone heaves a sigh of relief and the new nominee sails through.
Worked for Clinton and we got Janet Reno.
It’s going to be Eric Holder for Attorney General. And for the next opening on the Supreme Court.
Wasn’t Holder one of the great minds behind Waco?
Isn’t she the one that looted FannieMae for million$?
This one really needs to be investigated and brought front row center. Traitor is putting it mildly for her.
This sure is making Obama look guilty since he is putting on board people who actually sat on the boards of Freddie and Fanny.
I’d hope the Republicans would go absolutely rabid during any such confirmation hearings....and bring it all back to the surface.
Jamie Gorelick for Attorney General
I wouldn't doubt this for a minute. No matter what they're past mis-deeds are, they always get back into power. With her extensive and wretched past, in a perfect world, she would've been strung up already. No media outlet wants to talk about how much of HER actions have had a negative effect on this country, and further, her being on the 911 Commission was beyond all human rationalization.
Barney Frank for Federal Reserve Chairperson! He can get some young men to help him cheap!
