Corzine Scandal Now Enmeshes Holder — The disappearance of $1.6 billion (that’s billion) from prominent derivatives broker MF Global has drawn crickets chirping from federal law enforcement and Brietbart.Com has come up with a likely reason.
The law firm that represented the MFers was Coverton & Burling where Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer worked before being appointed to their law enforcement posts.
Of course, others might simply point out that prosecutorial discretion being exercised is because MF’s CEO when the money vanished was Jon Corzine, a prominent Democrat and money-raiser for Barack Obama who worked as New Jersey governor and senator before taking his derivatives post.
Oh, and the trustee overseeing MF’s bankruptcy is former FBI Director and Penn State scandal investigator Louis Freeh, who served as a character witness at Holder’s confirmation hearing.
