No cops on the beat
If you’ve ever wondered why the United States government won’t prosecute financial crimes you may want to check out a law firm called Covington and Burling. That’s where Eric Holder used to work and might again. The firm has clients like Bank of America, General Electric Company, IBM and Morgan Stanley. And you don’t mess with the powerful law firm on the planet- even if you’re the leader of the free world or his “top cop.” And you especially don’t mess with rich and powerful stakeholders when they’re going to be paying you $50,000 for 20-minute speeches for the rest of your life.
