Robert Mueller Unmasked — by Congressman Louie Gohmert

It’s relevant to note that the creator and boss of Special Council Robert Mueller was and still is
Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein. Are Rosestein and Comey thick friends who go way back as
far as Kindergarden ? Fact is that Rosenstein is married to most prestigious attorney in D.C.

Rod Rosenstein was kept out Pulitzer Prize Winning book :

Jesse Eisinger, seems to have left out the name of Assistant Attorney
general Rod Rosentein in his winning book “The Chickenshit Club, Why
the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives”. Accidentally or
on purpose remains unknown for now. Chapter Seven, “KPMG DESTROYS CAREERS”,
starts of like this :

“Chapter Seven

KPMG DESTROYS CAREERS

ON JUNE 27, 2006, JUSTIN weddle was in his office on the sixth floor of
One St. Andrew’s Plaza in southern Manhattan when he learned that a
judge had called him a liar.

Weddle, an assistant US attorney for the Southern District of New York,
read the ruling that had just come down from United States District
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. He had his door closed, thank goodness. He
couldn’t face anyone. Was everyone in the entire Southern District
reading this decision right now? He was a member of the special club
of Southern District criminal prosecutors. Weddle had been there when
Jim Comey had given his famous Chickenshit Club speech. He and his
colleagues did the right things in the right way for the right reasons.
Upstanding, he never even liked practical jokes. He hated April Fools’
Day. He tried not to be self-righteous about it because he understood
that nobody could tell the truth all the time, but he had become a
lawyer to uphold — okay, this idea was corny, but Weddle believed it —
truth and justice. With a ready smile, pug nose, and blond hair, the
assistant US attorney looked more like a gregarious schoolboy than one
of those prosecutorial cowboys who did what needed to be done to get
the bad guys. Nobody would mistake him for a bully.

The KPMG case, which Weddle would say was bigger than Enron, began to
implode. [ ... ]”

Which reads as if KMPG, the global accounting firm from Dutch origin,
was, or even, is more powerful in the cosmopolitan Southern Legal
District of New York than Enron, Arthur Anderson, AIG etc. and the
rest of the bunch together. In 2004 in the aftermath of the Enron
debacle where accounting firm Arthur Anderson was totally wiped out,
KMPG hired hotshot Attorney Robert S. Bennet, who successfully had
defended Clinton in the Lewinsky scandal :

“MR. BENNETT GOES TO WASHINGTON
[ ... ]
The New York prosecutors didn’t appreciate that Bennett, the Washington
power broker, was working hard in the capital. He requested a meeting
with James Comey, who had been elevated to deputy attorney general.
When Bob Fiske requested a meeting with Larry Thompson on the Andersen
matter, Thompson had refused. By contrast, Comey, who not so long ago
had talked so tough as a US attorney in the Southern District, agreed
to the meeting. Finally, on May 5, 2005, in anticipation of meeting
with Comey, KPMG cut off former chairman Stein’s attorney’s fees. The
firm also terminated a consulting agreement it had with Stein under his
severance package. Skadden thought it would help with its pitch to the
government.
On June 13, 2005, KPMG and Skadden met with Comey.10 Bennett told the
officials that KPMG couldn’t afford an indictment or guilty plea.

The July 2007 NY Times article, mentioned in the book-notes of the
Pulitzer Prize winning book, ends as follows :

“[ ... ]
On June 13, 2005, KPMG lawyers and executives met with the deputy
attorney general, James B. Comey, and federal prosecutors. It was a
highly unusual meeting, Mr. Comey said, according to the notes, adding
that he had never met with outside lawyers for a firm facing indictment.

Mr. Barloon’s notes of that meeting show that Mr. Bennett began by
quietly but intensely asking Mr. Comey not to indict KPMG. “If we go
under, that will disrupt not only KPMG clients but also the national
economy,” Mr. Bennett argued.

Mr. Comey countered that the wrongdoing at KPMG “went everywhere — up,
down, sideways — at least in the tax business,” and asked Mr. Bennett
if the firm had considering pleading guilty and spinning off its tax
practice. Mr. Bennett said that the firm had considered but rejected
such an idea.

Rod Rosenstein, the deputy assistant attorney general, who was at the
meeting, asked whether the Justice Department was “setting a precedent
that we can’t prosecute somebody if they come and clean everything up.”

But earlier in the meeting, Mr. Bennett said that “what was really
precedent-setting about the case was the conditioning of the payment of
legal fees on cooperation. We said we’d pressure — although we didn’t
use that word — our employees to cooperate.”

The notes quote him later as saying “what played out” was “a level of
cooperation that is rarely done.”
