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's ass by pushing grand jury investigations into his crime family.Doing Clayton a favor serves Barr'sdesire to disrupt those investigations. But lets focus on Clayton'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'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's willingness to accommodate Clayton demeans the US Atty office by showing Barr'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's choice on the morale of experienced professional assistant U.S attorneys in the New York office.
