CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF OLD WHITE GUY NETWORK/ WHITE ENTITLEMENT; JAY CLAYTON has practiced security law his entire legal career:, no criminal law experience as either a prosecutor or defense atty; indeed, no litigation background at all-but Clayton is tired of heading the SEC and
2]misses his home, NYC. So, he asks his long time friend,AG BARR, if he could be the next U.S. Atty in Southern District NY; the most powerful and prestigious prosecutorial authority in the federal criminal justice system; Barr says why not, after all the current US Atty
3]has been a thorn in Trump& #39;s ass by pushing grand jury investigations into his crime family.Doing Clayton a favor serves Barr& #39;sdesire to disrupt those investigations. But lets focus on Clayton& #39;s hutzpah for this thread. His desire to be the next US atty given his complete lack
4]of professional credentials for the position is akin to a family doctor who has never done even a simple surgical procedure applying to be the chief of a hospital& #39;s hear surgery department to strengthen his resume.done any surgery so maybe I should strengthen my resume.
5]It is beyond absurd for Clayton to seek such a position just as Barr& #39;s willingness to accommodate Clayton demeans the US Atty office by showing Barr& #39;s utter disregard of professional competence for the position.The entire episode serves as a perfect illustration of white
6] privilege, white entitlement, and how the old boy network functions to elevate friends of authority to positions for which they lack competence. Consider also the impact of Barr& #39;s choice on the morale of experienced professional assistant U.S attorneys in the New York office.
