Top Pentagon Official Contracted Personal Lawyer to Handle Minerals Deal

This is a strange and probably illegal use of the military.

"Asked about the potential for conflicts of interest to arise due to his simultaneous role as attorney for Cerberus, Feinberg, and the DOD, he said “you’ve got to be kidding me” and insisted that the interests of the three clients have been kept separate."

Oof. This guy is a top lawyer, and this is how he responds to a journalist asking about conflict of interests?

Obviously a very smart man and very trustworthy. /s

We are truly living in a kleptocracy.

Edited: Two seconds of google: https://www.cerberus.com/media/cerberus-acquires-controlling... Yep, no possibility of conflicts of interest here.

I don't know what bothers me more, the corruption, or the fact that they're both so stupid and open about it.
