Snip: <Republican political appointees in Justice Department lowered
tobacco settlement by $120B
by Chris in Paris - 6/16/2005

For those who have been wondering why the Justice Department reduced
the settlement with the tobacco industry from $130 Billion to $10
Billion, the search is now over. The long time Bush friend,
Associate Attorney General and former tobacco attorney, Robert
McCallum has been pressuring the Justice Department attorneys to
lower the settlement and surprise, surprise, McCallum has had his
way. Politics once again manipulating policy. Sound familiar?

"We do not want politics to be perceived as the underlying
motivation, and that is certainly a risk if we make adjustments in
our remedies presentation that are not based on evidence," the two
top lawyers for the trial team, Sharon Y. Eubanks and Stephen D.
Brody, wrote in a memorandum on May 30 to Associate Attorney General
Robert D. McCallum that was reviewed by The New York Times.
