Gorelick is currently committing legal malpractice as an attorney for Duke University, handling the case of the lacrosse players wrongfully accused of rape and nearly railroaded into jail.
Duke's ham-handed, doomed defense against the players' civil lawsuit is shaping up to be a multimillion dollar debacle.
For details of Gorelick's clumsy defense of the indefensible, see Durham-in-Wonderland, a blog devoted to this despicable travesty, e.g.:

I wouldn't recommend her to handle a rear-end hit case. Just my opinion, of course.
In other news, Obama blames Republicans. I know, I know - shocking, right? From Mr. Change Himself:
In a statement issued shortly after 6 a.m. on the U.S. east coast, Obama said he did not blame McCain, but "I do fault the economic philosophy he subscribes to. It's a philosophy we've had for the last eight years".

Gorelick is currently doing seminars for folks in DC, where she is a "distinguished speaker" giving seminars on "legal ethics" and "personal liability" to in-house counsels.
Note to WilmerHale:
Speaking just as an in-house guy who you've courted more than once, when I saw her associated with WilmerHale, I lost all respect for the firm and made the decision never to hire you again. Your good name is everything in this town.
Gorelick has got to be the most dangerous woman in American politics today.
What horrors will she bring next?
I believe it was the Hollies who performed the song, "King Midas in Reverse."
Here’s an idea:
Let’s get American workers to increase their productivity even more than they already have in the last twenty years, making sure that none of the resulting windfall goes to anyone but these desperate bankers and CEOs and Paris Hiltons who need it the most. Then let’s give the bankers and CEOs and Paris Hiltons a whopping big tax cut—it’s their due after all and we should show them our gratitude —while we raise Social Security taxes on workers, eliminate overtime pay, and cut pensions and benefits.
Has this been tried this before? I think it’s a winner!
(H/T to sadly,no)
The only person who wants to do any of that, TOE, is the strawman in your head.
she wrote the don't ask don't tell policy
her parents were gilded ghetto great neck radical chic commies
Can we get her on the Obama campaign staff?
Too bad the media won't report it. GReat blog!
Thanks for putting this story out there.
I for one am often amazed by references to the independence and objectivity of the 9/11 Commission, given Gorelick's presence on it.
She is the single person in the USA most responsible for 9/11.
Too bad her role is not reported...
Anyone done a head count on how many Clintonistas served on Fannie and Freddy? Didn't Clinton do something to force lenders to make more low doc low qualification loans in order to raise minority home ownership rates? Didn't Gorelick oversee the implementation of those new standards for the Clinton administration?
Wilmer Hale (formerly Wilmer Cutler Pickering) is where Democrats perch between stints in Washington.
Gorelick will be Attorney General under an Obambi POTUS shambles. She destroyed the WTC & Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac while making seven-figure bonuses. Like many top Dem operatives [Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines] she should be under indictment for fraud and criminal conspiracy for using a USG agency like a personal ATM.
how does Gorelick live with herself?
I have two words for you hypocritcal right wing nuts -- Phil Gramm.
You mean, this Phil Gramm?

It was the Hollies. Someone should get Rush's guy Shanklin to do a cover on this posthaste.

This is an excerpt from a New Zealand's Scoop newspaper. This is a detailed and extensively footnoted 20 part analysis of the the ouster of Hamilton Securities by the Clinton Administration from [b]October 2007[/b] by Catherine Austin Fitts .
While Americans were focused on Monica other things were going on!
Note: Gorlick is on the Counsel on Foriegn Relations and part of the Harvard cabal whos seems to be pulling all the strings. Didn't Obama attend Harvard. W
[quote]Jamie Gorelick left the Department of Justice in January and then moved to Fannie Mae as a Vice Chair — a title held by Franklin Raines who had joined the Administration as head of the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) in the fall of 1996.
Gorelick at Fannie Mae and Raines at OMB (later to return to Fannie Mae as Chairman) were to play leading roles with former Goldman Sachs partner Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and former (and subsequent) Arnold & Porter partner Jerry Hawke (whose son, Dan Hawke, was Ervin's attorney) at the U.S. Treasury, Alan Greenspan at the Federal Reserve, and Andrew Cuomo at HUD in engineering the largest housing and mortgage bubble in history. They shared a mutual silence as $4 trillion went missing from HUD, DOD and other government accounts for which the U.S. Treasury and New York Federal Reserve Bank and its member banks — as depository for the U.S. Treasury — were responsible.
[84] Gorelick would later leave Fannie Mae to become a partner of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, then led by Lloyd Cutler who had served as White House Counsel in the Clinton Administration after the death of Vince Foster. Cutler had been a board member of NHP, Harvard's HUD property management company.[/quote]

[quote]On October 14th, then-HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo fired Hamilton with no notice, seized monies owed to The Hamilton Securities Group for work already performed and launched a concerted smear campaign.
At the same time, a variety of dirty tricks, including through Hamilton’s bank, auditor and insurance companies, drained our resources.
In November, an amount equivalent to our remaining contract authority – approximately $10 million – was awarded to HUD OIG’s Operation Safe Home by special appropriation by the Senate HUD appropriation subcommittee.
Legal action to try to stop HUD’s seizure of Hamilton’s monies and illegal investigatory leaks ended up in Stanley Sporkin’s court – giving the former general counsel of the CIA another chance to use his skills to protect criminal enterprise. As a result, all of Hamilton’s efforts to support responsible management of HUD’s programs or to create tools and jobs for communities came to an
The fact that Andrew was mentioned by McCain as a possible SEC chief gives me the shivers. Talk about putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop!
Cuomo & his daddy could be subject to a RICO investigation, if that law were still in effect.
You forgot to mention that Gorelick hi-jacked the 9/11 Commission by having her Wilmer Cutler partners appointed to staff the commission. She actually made money off the work of the committee. Anon (above) might be interested to know that Franklin Raines IS Obama's economic advisor. He was Chair of FannieMae while Gorelick was Vice-Chair. And Charlie Rangel has refused to investigate the fall of the mortgage empire. Any guesses why?
Just thought I'd bump this with something I just saw - Gorelick is reported to be under consideration for AG by Obama.
As if we hadn't had enough of this person already...
Second that. I just heard this afternoon that she is on Obama's "short list" for Attorney General.
And here we thought Janet Reno was bad!
WHEN IT COMES TO THE CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT PAST OF HIS INNER CIRCLE, OBAMA HAS A CLINTONIAN/GORELICKIAN POLICY:
"DON'T ASK; DON'T TELL."
RAHN, JAMIE, JOHNSON, RAINES, BIDEN, REZKO, ACORN, AYERS, WRIGHT, FARRAKHAN AND SO ON:
DON'T ASK; DON'T TELL.
AND THE MSM FOLLOWS THE SCRIPT.
Jamie Gorelick is a walking disaster.
Just watch... she'll reappear magically in the Obama sub-cabinet--if she hasn't already. Along with Dodd, Frank, Johnson, and Raines, she belongs in jail.
why the heck can't anything EVER get done with THEM ?
I couldn't agree more.
That Hindenberg joke falls flat because it says "below" in stead of "blew". Also it's Hindenburg.
