Is that a mail order law school? But I guess being in B-More it is best to learn from an expert crook.
These people are pathetic. When do we start tarring and feathering these people? It's WAY past time.

USVI. Interesting. Didn’t a (female) friend of the Obamas get moved to the USVI? Scuttlebut was that it was a tantrum from the wookie, but maybe there is more to the story.
This was probably all arranged last year. They just waited till an opportune moment to break the news. Now’s as good a time as any.
If the political affiliations were reversed, I believe there’d be Congressional hearings on this. Because Republicans might have to endure some nasty looks, expect the sound of crikets.

On Friday evening, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich refused the congressional request for subpoenaed documents regarding Operation Fast and Furious– claiming that GOP lawmakers can’t be trusted with the information.
Immediately prior to assuming his current position, Weich served as Chief Counsel to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He earlier served as counsel to Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Arlen Specter. Prior to joining Senator Reid’s staff in January 2005, Weich was a partner in the law firm of Zuckerman Spaeder LLP. He began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in New York City.
Weich, a native New Yorker, is a graduate of Columbia University and the Yale Law School.
U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich was in that post for 2 years .. enough time to do some damage, hide some secrets, and move on ...
TheDC’s investigation unearthed allegations that two DOJ prosecutors on a team of more than 25 accepted cash bribes from indicted finance executives in the U.S. Virgin Islands. And USVI Gov. John de Jongh allegedly accepted part of at least $20 million in cash bribes in exchange for favors from his administration. At least five other prosecutors, according to TheDC’s well-placed source in the DOJ, were compromised.
Weich’s letter denying the allegations was carefully worded. He addressed few specifics in TheDC’s reporting or in the letter Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley sent him requesting additional information. His response made no mention of sealed indictments, or of the lengthy investigation the DOJ conducted into the financial irregularities at the center of the Virgin Islands case.
Instead, Weich challenged only The Daily Caller’s decision to give its source protection through anonymity, claiming the DOJ has no knowledge of the alleged bribes explored in the story.
“The Department is not aware of facts supporting any allegations of bribery, as purported by the article,” Weich wrote.
First blood!!
Gets busted for lying and receives a golden parachute job teaching law. Could only happen to a SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT. He now will probably be a triple dipper pension receiver. We must vote these IDEALOGICAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC BUMS out on their commie rearends in November before it’s to late.
Got moved to “Bloggers&Personal.” I guess this isn’t news.
Never mind the flunky
WE WANT HOLDER and ZER0 who need to GO
This should be big news. Do you know if anyone else is chasing this story?
These guys helped kill or helped coverup the killings of possibly hundreds of people including Americans(!) and they escape with their fat retirements if on the job long enough; otherwise they just keep on truckin' til they are old enough to get theirs.
Will the corrections be made peacefully? I hope so but where are we going to find Congressmen and women with the courage to perform that duty?
Time to file ethics charges against this POS with every bar he’s a member of. Remember, legal ethics charges were eventually what nailed Clinton.
Ping...
U.S. Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich “promoted” out of Washington. Out of sight-—out of mind.
The DOJ official is the same Holder deputy who falsely told Congress that neither the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives nor any part of the Department of Justice ever allowed illicit firearms to “walk” across the U.S.-Mexico border...
Thanks Jet Jaguar
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
