I have been posting on this issue at my blog for months. The DOJ is totally out of control. It is too busy concealing wrondoing to be of any use to the public.

Big Banks Tagged in Municipal Bond Probe
Frankly, just typing the phrase municipal bond probe makes me want to nap... But when the names Wachovia, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns are being flagged by the Justice Department for possible bid rigging I feel honor bound to at least acknowledge that it is happening.

FCPA Actions v/s European Inaction 1/21/2008
Interesting Comments on Corporate Monitorships from NJ Congressman
Following up on this story, New Jersey Congressional Representative, Bill Pascrell, offers some interesting commentary on the controversial administration of corporate monitorships. Obviously the Jersey ties are strong on this issue, given the recent Ashcroft / Christie matter. Pascrell covers that ground and beyond, offering up a critique of the current system and suggestions for potential reforms. Worth a look.

U.S. Nazi Hunters Branch Out
Pretty interesting article from the Legal Times about the Department of Justice's Office of Special Investigations, which has a near-thirty year history of hunting Nazis world-wide. The group has nailed 107 of these bastards since 1979, with prosecutions coming as recently as this past year. Given that the pool of Nazis and their collaborators is beginning to expire, the OSI has received dispensation to pursue criminals from more recent conflicts, including Rwanda and Bosnia. Fascinating stuff.

Justice Department Sleeping on Corporate Fraud?
Interesting stuff from The American Lawyer. Their newly released study would seem to indicate that the Justice Department's Corporate Fraud Task Force (formed by the Bush Administration in July 2002) has slowed major prosecutions to the point that the group no longer even reports on its efforts. The DOJ calls this a mark of success. The folks at TAL take a slightly different view... Check out the full American Lawyer Report right here.

Government Touts Conviction Record on Corrupt Execs
Following a decision by a U.S. District court to toss out a case against 13 former KPMG executives, the Justice Department has made an effort to tout its conviction record. At the same time embattled US AG Alberto Gonzales was decrying the KPMG verdict, DOJ number two, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty was attemoting to focus attention on the Department's 1,236 convictions in corporate fraud cases since 2002. Click on through to this IHT article for further details on the KPMG verdict as well as for further comment from the DOJ on life after Enron.
