6. Ted Olsen works at the firm that is defending Lewis and hired USA

Yang. Yang was the LA US attorney whose job was to oversee the investigation of Lewis. So Olsen gets a us attorne for 1.5 million dollars a year and a step to the AG job?


Debra Wong Yang, 47, the Los Angeles U.S. attorney and a member of the president's corporate fraud task force, got north of $1.5 million to join Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher a few weeks later, according to two recruiters.

According to this report, Yang now "co-chair Gibson Dunn’s National Crisis Management Practice Group along with Washington, D.C. partner Theodore B. Olson, a former U.S. solicitor general, and New York partner Randy Mastro, who served as New York’s deputy mayor of operations under Rudy Giuliani. She is also expected to play a central role in the Business Crimes and Investigations Practice Group, the firm said." Olson of course was the Bush administration's solicitor general. Yang's colleague at the LA US attorney's office, assistant US attorney Douglas Fuchs, has also reportedly joined her at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Of course, Yang and Fuchs would have to recuse themselves from working on Lewis' defense. But interesting all the same that the very investigators in charge of what had to be a most uncomfortable investigation for the party in office got poached by the firm defending him.www.warandpeace.com
