77. Carol Lam's Firing Clearly Obstruction of Justice
This is why I was investigating the Lam dismissal before finding the Medicare fraud overlap in Texas, Nevada, Florida, Missouri, and Lam's district, San Diego,

Carol Lam's Firing Clearly Obstruction of Justice
Joseph A. Palermo - 03.29.2007
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joseph-a-palermo/carol-lams-firing-clearl_b_44568.html

........ Lam, the Yale and Stanford educated former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California, was abruptly given the axe because she had stumbled upon the old boys' network, and began prosecuting people George W. Bush didn't want to see prosecuted.

First, Ms. Lam, a Republican, secured a conviction against former California Representative, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the high-flying and completely corrupt defense contract profiteer....

Then Ms. Lam caught the trail of two well-connected associates of Cunningham's...
Wilkes ... the Bush/Cheney finance co-chairman for California ... also involved in the Arnold Schwarzenegger campaign. Wilkes paid off Cunningham with $2.4 million to help his company secure over $80 million in Pentagon contracts.
.... Dusty Foggo helped Wilkes score lucrative contracts for the CIA, and he was charged with fraud in the Cunningham case.

As soon as U.S. Attorney Lam began to secure search warrants against Wilkes and Foggo, Gonzales had her fired.

..... Lam had initiated an investigation of corruption allegations against California Representative Jerry Lewis......

Wilkes' ... limousine service was providing more than just transportation for Dusty, Duke, and their buddies. It has been alleged that Wilkes' company provided high-priced prostitutes to satisfy the carnal pleasures of Cunningham and his well-connected defense and CIA-contractor pals on the taxpayer's dime. ............
