Such people never, ever, cross their corporate paymasters, who encourage stints in the government, and reward their repeated betrayals of the public interest with salary bumps as soon as they return home.

Let’s recite some of Craig’s immediate former employer’s (Williams & Connolly) clients:

Enron
HealthSouth
WorldCom
Fannie Mae
Adelphia
Waste Management

“Represented CSX Transportation, Inc. in the settlement and class action fairness hearing in a Louisiana class action involving a tank car leak of hazardous materials and resulting fire near New Orleans; the alleged class members numbered approximately 10,000.”

“Represented American Cyanamid in a putative class action brought by plaintiff farmers alleging breach of warranty and product defect claims against defendant insecticide manufacturer.”

“Successfully defended General Electric in multidistrict litigation alleging exposure to PCBs at Paoli railroad yard.”

Charming organization!

That’s the real meaning of the unitary executive principle: EVERYTHING an administration does is, ultimately, the President’s fault.
