Blitzer Reports on CNN, Wolfowitz has hired Robert Bennet as Lawyer to Keep his WB Job..

What the hell is going on here? Wolfowitz thinks hiring a lawyer will allow him to keep his World Bank Job AGAINST the wishes of WB Executive Committee?

Is there going to be a TRIAL...Whaaaa? Of all the bizarness today like Gonzo saying he's staying on with confidence of the Chimperor...now Wolfowitz hires Robert Bennett....FOR WHAT? What can Bennett do for Wolfowitz? :eyes: :shrug:

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz has hired Bill Clinton’s former lawyer Robert Bennett as an adviser as the board investigation into the Shaha Riza controversy entered a critical phase.

Members of the seven-man panel of board members are expected to reach a decision this week as to whether Mr Wolfowitz broke bank rules or ethics when he instructed the bank’s human resources chief to offer his girlfriend a large pay rise as part of a secondment package.

Mr Bennett, a partner at Skadden, Arps, is best known for representing former US president Bill Clinton against sexual harassment claims.

Mr Bennett told the FT: “I am engaged by Mr Wolfowitz and will be advising him in this somewhat complex manner.” Mr Bennett, who said he had read the papers relating to the case, said: “I do not believe he did anything wrong, and that he acted in eminent good faith.”

but realize that many DU'ers are skeptical about posts without a link.

I was home this afternoon and watching CNN and the NEWS DUMP is just incredible. I'm having trouble keeping up with it all...but know many DU'ers don't have cable or are at work and aren't hearing this.

EVERYONE serves at the pleasure of the President...
The Supreme Court
The World Bank
etc etc

It's hard to deal with.

in that Wolfowitz was asked to leave by WB Executive Committee and he HIRES Robert Bennet? :eyes:

I was thinking of Bill Bennett, morals czar and Vegas highroller.
