It seems confusing at first that a person in high office can intercede to settle a lawsuit in which he is a participant - until you look at it through the lens of the legal profession.
Legally these are two separate persons, each doing their jobs:
- One of these persons is the titular head of the Justice Department ... you know, the government's side in the case. Sometimes they fight; sometimes they settle.
- The other person is a second-generation career criminal, who will exploit any method, crooked or straight, for his own selfish benefit.
Makes sense, once you get it, right?
Tune in again next week, when we discuss emoluments, and how a gift of a jumbo-jet from a foreign power.
