First, Loretta Lynch is from Arkansas, y’all know that, right?

Pat, there is a Clinton connection, but what is the Arkansas connection?

Lynch was born on May 21, 1959, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Growing up, her mother was a school librarian and her father was a Baptist minister. As a child, she spent hours with her father, watching court proceedings in the courthouse of Durham, North Carolina. Her early interest in court proceedings was compounded by stories of her grandfather, a sharecropper and pastor, who in the 1930s helped people move to the north to escape prosecutions under the racist Jim Crow laws of the time. Lynch earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and American literature from Harvard College in 1981 and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 1984, where she was a member of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau.

Lynch's first legal job was as a litigation associate for Cahill Gordon & Reindel. She joined the Eastern District as a drug and violent-crime prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's office in 1990. From 1994 to 1998, she served as the chief of the Long Island office and worked on several political corruption cases involving the government of Brookhaven, New York. From 1998 to 1999, she was the chief assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District and headed the Brooklyn office. In 1999, she was nominated by President Bill Clinton to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. During her term as U.S. Attorney, Lynch oversaw prosecution of New York City police officers in the Abner Louima case.

In 2001, Lynch left the U.S. Attorney's office to become a partner at Hogan & Hartson (later Hogan Lovells). She remained there until January 20, 2010, when President Barack Obama nominated Lynch to again serve as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. From 2003 to 2005, she was a member of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

Aw come on cousin Mike....

First, you know you love me.

Second....I read the book about WhiteWater, forget the name, forget the author. I am not like my cousin Mike with all the facts at my fingertips....just an aging memory.

But here’s the bit of serendipity...I read this book LAST Summer though it was written way back in the 90’s. And I recall being so very surprised by the presence, very much so, of Loretta Lynch.

Bearing in mind that the author of that book could not have known, as of the book’s writing, that Loretta Lynch would be someday head of Justice.

My memory is that Lynch was heavily involved with the White Water things. I could swear there was an Arkansas connection but maybe not.

I remember thinking how odd, that Obama appointed a CLINTON person to head his Justice dept. Made me think that there was some kind of deal made between the Clintons and the Obamas that would allow Hillary, when she would finally ascend to power after giving way to Obama, all HER people would be in place.

So I only know about the Clinton connection because of the book. Lynch was in that book a lot....later I’ll look it up. Even wrote a book review on it.

So the grandchildren of the people who moved north are in Chicago. They are the weekly statistics Michael Berry talks about on Monday Mornings. For you fortunate enough to live in a Radio market that Michael in on.

Are these peoples' great Grandchildren taking selfies as fellow scum pump 16 bullets in their direction? Obliviously these scum do not take target practice seriously From 2003 to 2005, she was a member of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

So she is well acquainted with the BIG Banks too big to fail. Is this one of the reasons we had has such horrible monetary policies over the last 20+ years? The Donald is correct about the coming Stock Market crash
