Obama runs with some strange characters!!
"...
Jamie S. Gorelick, whose official résumé describes her as "one of the longest serving Deputy Attorneys General of the United States," a position she held during the Clinton administration.
Although Gorelick had no background in finance, she joined Fannie Mae in 1997 as vice chair and departed in 2003. For her trouble,
Gorelick collected a staggering $26.4 million in total compensation, including bonuses. Federal investigators (PDF) would later say that
"Fannie Mae's management directed employees to manipulate accounting and earnings to trigger maximum bonuses for senior executives from 1998 to 2003." The New York Times would call the manipulations an "$11 billion accounting scandal."
"
NEW YORK – A panel of Democratic Party legal heavyweights speculated
Jamie Gorelick, former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration,
could be appointed attorney general if Barack Obama were elected president."
"
As WND reported in 2004, her participation as commissioner became controversial when Attorney General John Aschroft pinned blame on her for issuing a 1995 memo that established a "wall" between the criminal and intelligence divisions, hindering the ability of the U.S. government to detect the Sept. 11 plot. Ashcroft contended
the document by Gorelick [

helped establish the "single greatest structural cause" for 9/11, which was "the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents."
Greed is GOoD for Gorelick!!
