Obama’s Attorney General speaks at corrupt foreign organization

Loretta Lynch: Discussing the Importance of‍ Diverse‌ Leadership

What’s happening: ⁢Loretta Lynch,‍ the former Obama attorney general, gave ​an engaging keynote address on ⁣Friday at the FIFA Women’s Football ⁢Convention in Australia.

• The⁤ speech focused on “the importance of ⁣diverse leadership,” according to the convention itinerary.

Crucial context: FIFA⁤ is a notoriously corrupt foreign entity.

• Before joining⁤ the Obama⁢ administration in 2015, Lynch played‌ a significant role in a federal investigation that led to the indictment of numerous senior FIFA officials and marketing executives on charges of racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering.

• Lynch⁣ gained notoriety for her secret meeting with ‌Bill Clinton on a private jet in 2016 while‌ overseeing the Justice ​Department’s investigation of ​Hillary Clinton’s private email ⁢server.

• After leaving the Obama administration, Lynch joined Paul Weiss, a ⁢prestigious law firm that currently advises FIFA in its‍ dealings with the U.S. Department of Justice.

• In 2020, Lynch praised FIFA for its “renewed commitment to transparency and ethical behavior.” (Fact check: ⁢FIFA was not committed to transparency and ethical behavior.)

Why it matters: ​This is a prime example of how‍ Democrats get filthy rich. They spend a few years in a Democratic administration criticizing “corporations” for ⁢harming America, only to later make millions representing corporate ‍clients.
