I worked in DOJ under Nixon, boy, man, does this bring back memories of the way things happened. I checked the old boy’s network and this is happening again. Holder is a clown who tried to throw his attorneys to the lions on the waterboarding memos so everyone is copying and hiding evidence. Watergate redux, the corruption goes right to the top.
He does what is best for his country free enterprise and trade are the ONLY thing that has ever led to long lasting peace
Yes sometimes he skirts the letter of the law to see that its spirit it fulfilled and he is an idealized capitalist a philanthropist and even fights corrupt businessmen as often as he does normal criminals, terrorists, spies, and saboteurs
Sure he probably should go to the proper authorities but that would be boring and is part of the willing suspension of disbelief of fiction and it’s not like he doesn’t have the skills to get the job done and as a private citizen can do the things the government can’t
He is also a self-made man, the name Warbucks as he started as a factory worker in a mutions plant while going to college at night, before working up to foreman where after making the company considerable money gave the employees raises and reinvested in the company instead of just keeping it for himself, yes he a defense contractor so what, greed and patriotism/altruism aren’t mutually exclusive and can actually help each other.
The ability to think of future generation when calculating pragmatic utilitarianism is what separates us from the animals. The world is not the way it is because of thugs and psychopaths, corrupt businessmen/politicians (which contrary to fiction are the exception not the rule) but because most people are too stupid to know what is best for them the extreme left and extreme right get caught up in their ideals and refuse to acknowledge brutal facts of reality no real world understanding of the extreme complexities of politics, economics, technological logistics, and how they’re all interconnected in the long run. People want everything right here right now the whole world just handed to them on a silver platter think just by complaining something will happen without a tangible plan. Such a plan will require a lot of long, hard, boring work all day every day for generations.

How were the attorneys thrown to the lions - wasn’t Yoo just let off the hook?
