“#Biden gets set to kill a Team Trump good-government reform<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Just days in office and President Biden is already moving to end-run good government by ordering the Justice Department to start restoring an Obama-era practice that funds liberal groups instead of actual victims of alleged wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration put the kibosh on such slush-fund payments in 2017. As then-Attorney General<\/a> Jeff Sessions put it: \u201cWhen the federal government settles a case against a corporate wrongdoer, any settlement funds should go first to the victims and then to the American people \u2014 not to bankroll third-party special interest groups or the political friends of whoever is in power.\u201d<\/p>\n

One notable abuse was a $17 billion settlement agreement in which Bank of America had to pay third-party activist groups to resolve an investigation into its role in the sale of mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 crisis.<\/p>\n

Another example: Gibson Guitar Corp. was forced to donate to the private National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to end a criminal investigation into allegations it illegally imported exotic wood.<\/p>\n

If the federal government is to fund private groups, it should be via the normal app<\/a>ropriations process \u2014 not favoritism by Justice Department lawyers.<\/p>\n

Lefties \u2014 which is who will benefit \u2014 can get by without this extra little help from their friends.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
