I recently learned in Friedman& #39;s Red Mafiya book AG Clark had a pretty strange career arc...

He helped draft LBJ& #39;s landmark Civil and Voting Rights legislation

And in later private law practice defended some of the world& #39;s most ruthless dictators, strongmen, and Mobsters https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€”" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
LBJ nominated Ramsey Clark to be AG and in a sort of weird political calculus

that act opened up a SCOTUS seat because dad, Tom Clark, a fmr AG and later SCOTUS Judge for Truman,

stepped down from the high court to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.

How quaint!
Ramsey Clark defended Lyndon LaRouche helped found the leftist International Action Center, which is anti-NATO (read this article with caution, it is a screed!)

What happened to Ramsey Clark? How did he become such a legal scoundrel?

Drugs? Kompromat? https://iacenter.org/2018/07/17/a-short-history-of-nato/">https://iacenter.org/2018/07/1...
Found Ramsey Clark& #39;s defense support if Soltnetskovo Bratva boss Mikhailov& #39;s criminal trial in Switzerland...

This is a terrible look for a former AG. Almost as bad as what some of our other former AG& #39;s, FBI Directors, and CIA Chiefs have done...

Solntsevo Bratwa? I& #39;m not sure how it& #39;s spelled. Mikhailov is one of the biggest bosses of all in the Russia Mafia State
Birshstein, Mogilevich, Gorbachev, Yeltsin ... Mikhailov was and is very well-connected
Ramsey Clark, LBJ& #39;s Attorney General, as a defense witness for Sergei Mikhailov, head of the Solntsevo Bratva, one of Russia& #39;s top Mafia gangs

Why didn& #39;t that get much US headlines?

Ramsey Clark said FBI witness & Mob crime expert Bob Levinson& #39;s testimony was false https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜„" title="EnttĂ€uschtes, aber erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: EnttĂ€uschtes, aber erleichtertes Gesicht">
