What’s happening: Loretta Lynch, the former Obama attorney general, gave the keynote address Friday at the FIFA Women’s Football Convention in Australia.
• The speech touched on “the importance of diverse leadership,” according to the convention itinerary.
Crucial context: FIFA is a notoriously corrupt foreign entity.
• Before joining the Obama administration in 2015, Lynch took part in a federal investigation resulting in the indictment of more than a dozen senior FIFA officials and marketing executives on charges of racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering.
• Lynch is best known for meeting secretly with Bill Clinton on a private jet in 2016 while she was overseeing the Justice Department’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
• After leaving the Obama administration, Lynch joined Paul Weiss, the corporate law firm that “currently advises FIFA in its dealings with the U.S. Department of Justice.”
• Lynch praised FIFA in 2020 for its “renewed commitment to transparency and ethical behavior.” (Fact check: FIFA was not committed to transparency and ethical behavior.)
Why it matters: This is how Democrats get filthy rich. They serve a few years in a Democratic administration bashing “corporations” for destroying America, then go on to make millions representing corporate clients.
