Top DOJ official to resign amid Fast and Furious and bribery scandals

  Are the dominoes finally beginning to fall in the wake of the Department of Injustice’s scandals? It looks like that may be the case as we have learned earlier today that Eric Holder’s Assistant Attorney General, Ronald Weich, is set to resign in the near future.

  Ronald Weich perjured himself under oath when he told the Congress that any allegations the Department of Injustice intentionally allowed weapons to be walked into Mexico was false. It turns out that the DOJ did in fact intentionally allow weapons to walk into Mexico and the only falsehood was Weich sworn testimony.

  And then there is the Department of Injustice’s bribery scandal in which he stated the DOJ had no knowledge of the scandal when in fact two officials within the DOJ were taking bribes. In case you haven’t heard of the bribery scandal–and it has gone unreported so it is likely you missed this story–here is a brief recap:

A U.S. Justice  Department source has told The Daily Caller that at least two DOJ  prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives who  were indicted under court seal within the past 13 months, but never arrested or  prosecuted.

The sitting governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, his attorney general and an  unspecified number of Virgin Islands legislators also accepted bribes, the  source said, adding that U.S. Attorney General Eric  Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise  compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.

  While Ronald  Weich was denying the Department of Injustice knew anything about this scandal the fact was that Eric Holder did know about the scandal because he was sitting on sealed indictments in the case and refused to act on them for fear of bringing additional embarrassment to the beleaguered Injustice Department:

 The DOJ never acted on the sealed indictments, which were the consequence of a  lengthy criminal scheme involving bank fraud and other financial crimes. This,  TheDC’s source said, was because Attorney General Eric Holder is embarrassed by  the corruption that has plagued his DOJ internally

  Ronald Weich is a high level employee under Eric Holder and while this is a great start it should only be a start because if perjuring yourself before the Congress is a fireable offense–and it is–then Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano should be the next two dominoes to fall because, as I have chronicled in previous posts, both of them have also perjured themselves in sworn testimony before the Congress.

   Ronald Weich is now set to walk into a cushy job as dean of the University of Baltimore School of Law when he should be facing criminal charges, and Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano should follow closely behind.
