The Curious Case of Debra Yang and Jerry Lewis
My interest has been peeked by this report about U. S. Attorney Debra Yang’s situation. She had been investigating Jerry Lewis, the Republican Chairman of the Congressional Appropriation Committee and his ties to bribery and your everyday Republican corruption charges. So, once her office zeros in on him and right before the U. S. Attorney Purge she abruptly resigns and takes a signing bonus of $1.5 Million from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP who coincidentally just happens to be the firm who is defending Jerry Lewis (R-CA) from bribery and your everyday Republican corruption charges. Hummm! Could be a coincidence but then maybe not.
TMP reports you decide.
I have to tell you that I don’t know anyone in the legal beagle world who has heard of this type of arrangement with a signing bonus, partnership is usually lucrative enough. Now it is possible that this does happen all the time and just isn’t disclosed. But wouldn’t someone in the White Shoe and Lesser Firms have at the very least heard of it?
Just Saying!

Is that legal? Isn't there an obvious connection with intent to specific acts?
I'm not a lawyer, but I say we need to bring the pitch forks out!
And, we need to close this revolving-door policy, whereas people from an industry come to the serve a few years in the GOV and are put in charge of regulating the industry they came from. Then after they give to that industry whatever the latter wants, they go back to a plush job in the private sector.
Isn't this abuse of power, robbery, and defrauding the public?
That's why when certain people talk about patriotism, I want to ask: who gets the bullets and who gets the bucks?
