Ashcroft Exposed

Mark Thoma nails former Attorney General John Ashcroft (JA) at Economist's View, 5 May 2009, link: http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2009/05/too-big-to-prosecute.html.

The rule of law no longer exists in the US. Next we will install sharia and the "blood price" for murder. See my 17 January, 26 February, 12 and 24 March, 15 April and 19 June 2008, posts on JA, links:

This stinks Ashcroft... he reasoned that shutting down the firm would result in job losses... no... allowing the firm to be "supervised" gave him a nice sinecure...

"Ashcroft's consulting firm stands to collect between $28 million and $52 million over 18 months for reviewing the operations of Zimmer Holdings, an Indiana company that makes replacement hips and knees. Zimmer last year settled government charges over kickbacks it allegedly provided doctors in exchange for using its products. ...

Zimmer paid the Ashcroft Group $7.5 million between last September and January... Ashcroft and about a half-dozen senior staff members of his firm are covered under a flat $750,000 monthly payment from Zimmer...."

Amazing...
