Written by Fraudpi on
I documented and reported numerous allegations of Sarbanes Oxley violations, Fraud, Fraud Cover-up, and Retaliation, in a 12 page letter (with dozens of pages of supporting documents), to J&J Attorney Taysen Van Itallie.

Should I be Afraid of the Department of Justice?

Written by Fraudpi on
I've talked with attorneys, plaintiffs, and consultants who are involved in litigation of some sort, in which they have asked the DOJ to act on their behalf. A consistent theme I've heard from every single one of these individuals, whether they're involved in a Class Action, a Qui Tam claim, an Employee Rights case, or some other action, is an overriding fear of doing something that might piss the DOJ off. Their interaction with the DOJ is virtually non-existent. They sit passively by, waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that the DOJ hasn't stood them up. Is this how the justice system is ...

Written by krisnelson on
New York Times - Questions of Justice : Michael B. Mukasey, President Bush’s nominee for attorney general, appears today before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Op-Ed page asked four legal experts to pose the questions they would like to hear Judge Mukasey answer. One sample question: 1.

NEWS: Michael B. Mukasey,Attorney General Nominee won't talk, maybe we should try Waterboarding.

Written by Funbagz08 on
Basically this entire story is just another example of the judicial system becoming more and more politicized. Mukasey is a retired judge, however conveniently for the present administration, a man who made is living by taking in evidence and making a decision, suddenly can't make up his mind on water boarding. A well known torture tech, that has been around for centuries, is too much up in the air for you Mr. Mukasey? Well then I'll tell you what, forget Attorney General, go home, cuddle up in rocking chair with a nice quilted blanket and just call it a day. Either your pandering to ... Read Full Story
