OBAMA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE LORETTA LYNCH REPRESENTED CLINTONS DURING WHITEWATER (CORRECTED)


by WARNER TODD HUSTON 8 Nov 2014 402 POST A COMMENT

New York federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch, the new nominee for attorney general, has a career filled with high profile cases -- and she was a member of Bill Clinton's defense team during the 1992 Whitewater corruption probe.

As he made his announcement Saturday afternoon, Obama called the two-time U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York a "tough, fair and independent" lawyer.

"It's pretty hard to be more qualified for this job than Loretta Lynch," Obama said.

Indeed, the prosecutor has a long career built of some high profile cases but there is one case Lynch was involved in that few are talking about. Lynch was a part of Bill Clinton's Whitewater probe defense team in 1992.
In 1992, the Clintons came under fire for investing in a perennially failing Arkansas real estate company known as Whitewater Development, a venture heavily subsidized by Clinton friend Jim McDougal in an effort to soften the losses the Clintons were experiencing as investors. The probe was widened to look into the failure of the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan to which it was connected. Eventually the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission won several convictions handing jail time to the McDougals as well as Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker.

The Clintons escaped any convictions in the probe.

Correction: The Loretta Lynch identified earlier as the Whitewater attorney was, in fact, a different attorney.

1. Well in all fairness, not like repukes are expected to get any facts right

not even the subject of their fake rage.

2. "...was in fact a different attorney." Fuckers will not even admit getting the completely wrong person.

Why these bastards have any credibility at all anywhere is a freaky mystery.

3. Notice the emphasis on the correction is yours and not Breitbart's.
