Make no mistake about it, the Big Law firms that played a major role in the Wall Street corruption that led to the financial crash of 2008 and have been burying corporate crimes through their crony ties to Washington for decades, are desperate to put their own man in the White House in 2020.

The emails showed that President Obama, using the email address of [email protected], was communicating directly with Froman at Citigroup as the bank was collapsing and receiving unprecedented amounts of secret money from the Federal Reserve as well as publicly disclosed vast sums of bailout money from the government.

As the discredited bank was collapsing, Froman was feeding Obama lists of recommended appointments to his cabinet as well as recommendations for employees on lower rungs of the ladder…
