Midknight Review -- new and revised: Drudge goes after Loretta Lynch. Midknight Review does not believe Lynch will be an Eric Holder clone.

In her first major investigation since becoming the new Attorney General, Loretta Lynch has moved against the monument to corruption, that is the World Soccer Association. It is the opinion of this blog's editor that such an investigation is about 20 years over-due, that the Department is wholly justified in committing to expose FIFA and the long term corruption it has foster for several decades. As far as this blog is concerned, her decision beats anything Holder was doing, and, hopefully, indicates a "back to normal" agenda for the DOJ, rather than pursuing the radicalized agenda of the Holder/Obamas (Mr. and Mrs.) cabal.

In a statement, Lynch said the Justice Department plans to work with other nations to "end corrupt practices" within FIFA and "root out misconduct.

In a press conference Wednesday morning, Lynch framed FIFA's actions as a betrayal of soccer's fans.
"Many of the individuals and organizations we will describe today were entrusted with keeping soccer open and accessible to all," she said. "They were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game. Instead they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves."

"The indictment alleges corruption that is rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted both abroad and here in the United States," Lynch said in a statement. "It spans at least two generations of soccer officials who, as alleged, have abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks. And it has profoundly harmed a multitude of victims, from the youth leagues and developing countries that should benefit from the revenue generated by the commercial rights these organizations hold, to the fans at home and throughout the world whose support for the game makes those rights valuable."

Of course, I could be wrong about my assessment of Mss Lynch, but she comes to the DOJ without the corrupt baggage of Holder, served as a state attorney general in New York for five years and is very well thought of, in the legal profession. I am only saying, "Let's give the woman a chance, before we rush to judgement." Capisce?

The reader should know that this headline, from Matt Drudge, is an implied criticism of Lynch, by Drudge, as if her priorities are out of focus: LYNCH PRIORITIES: WORLD SOCCER?

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

If I take you at your word, you don't distrust all blacks. We shall see. Your post is a reasonable start. The Times reports that Lynch intends to " to strike a new tone for the Justice Department ." She is going to deal with the policing issue, but not immediately, as she has decided to meet with a number of Police Commissioners, later in this coming summer.
