Questions of Politicized Retribution

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.

We can all agree that government officials should not use government to punish political enemies. The claim is that President Trump is doing just that in investigating former NSA John Bolton and firing Fed official Lisa Cook, while pursuing potential prosecution of James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper. Bolton wrote a book to get political retribution against Trump for firing him, but used classified information to effectuate his retribution. Lisa Cook knows nothing about monetary policy, and was pushed on the Fed by Rep. James Clyburn. Clyburn and Rep. Maxine Waters injected politics into the fed by forcing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to support the wildly inflationary COVID spending package, while continuing low interest rates, on the theory that “easy money” was good for minorities. In turn Powell deemed the resultant inflation “transitory.” Racial minorities are paying the price today for this foolishness in high food costs, rent and mortgage rates. Powell was then politically rewarded by Biden with another term. Comey, Brennan and Clapper politicized our most important intelligence functions in the execrable Russiagate fiasco. So is Trump politicizing or is he fighting politicization of our non-political governmental institutions? We think the latter, for which he should get, yes, political credit.

Kevin Price introduces Price of Business show recurring guest, John D. O’Connor. O’Connor was the famed attorney of Watergate’s “Deep Throat.

According to PostGateBook.com “O’Connor served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California from 1974-1979, representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases. Among his interesting assignments have been representation of the government during the OPEC oil embargo of the 1970s; writing Fifth Amendment and “state of mind” briefs for the prosecution in United States v. Patricia Hearst; representing the FDIC, FSLC and RTC during the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s; representing California Attorney General Dan Lungren in campaign-related litigation; defending R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in significant smoking and health litigation; representing Coach Don Nelson in litigation with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban; and representing W. Mark Felt regarding the revelation of his identity as Deep Throat.”
