One need only ask Californian US Attorney Tom O’Brien why he received a formal Complaint ( here ) about the US Attorney in Delaware connections to the MNAT Law firm ( here ) that the Delaware Dept of Justice has declined to even Name, much less prosecute, concerning the fact that the MNAT law firm confessed to filing 17 false affidavits and complicity in deceiving the Delaware Federal Bankruptcy Court concerning the eToys case in 2001. ( Opinion here ) (NOTE, the Opinion is deceptive in stating that Haas and Alber’s complaints are similar, the Court tossed out Haas’s proofs including the Affidavit by the Chairman of the Creditor’s committee as the Delaware Court only addressed 3 of the 100 felony violations that Haas had sworn an oath to).

Laser Haas, a party that was Court approved to handle the eToys Liquidation, discovered the fraud and perjury, reported to the Court and Delaware Dept of Justice, only to be ostricized and stripped of his $3 million dollar court approved work, after the job was completed.

When Haas discovered that Colm F Connolly was a partner with the MNAT law firm in 2001, he reported it on Dec 7 2007 to Tom O’Brien’s office.

just after 12 weeks later, when the CA Dept of Justice was required to respond to Haas’s complaint, O’Brien disbanded the Public Corruption Unit and threatened career prosecutors with retaliation if they revealed any other reason for the dismantling.

Online affidavit and Court docket record proofs of perjury, fraud and coverup.

Mukasey danced around the issue in SF. However, an apt analogy to what OBrien did and his rationale would be if a hospital disbanded their surgery unit and then allowed all attending physicians to operated AND then claimed that would not hurt the quality of surgeries and actually make them more efficient. Like surgery, prosecuting corruption cases and environmental cases takes specialized training and experience. Arguing that allowing generalists or people specializing in a different area to handle it is more efficient is disengenuous at best.

The US Attorney in LA is a paranoid guy who holds grudges, makes split second decisions without much thought that have long term effects, and has been trying to “dumb down” the office since he got there. He is intimidated by people who went to top 15 law schools and does not understand the complexity of a white collar or corruption investigation and prosecution. The problem is therefore twofold. First, the Bushies emphasize terror, child pornography, immigration, and guns over all other cases, and O’Brien is a boob.

Bush has defended every single regulatory agency around. FDA, EPA, etc. etc. Is it any wonder that an office investigating corruption should be defunded? not only that,he’s put the foxes inside the henhouse to guard the chickens as well. Result, dangerous medicines being released to the public, environmental contamination, unmonitored food supply,… it’s just the beginning
