DAG Blanche says DOJ takes white-collar investigations seriously, but its website has just a single new FCPA (foreign bribery) case all this year.
Now, he says if DOJ improperly targets a company, he will hold against them if it spoke the truth about DOJ's deficient performance.
That's justice?

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
