• Update #1 on President of the State Bar of California — Jon Streeter of Keker & Van Nest — In Prima Facie Showing of Embezzlement from California Bar Foundation to Barack Obama’s Coffers Involving USDOJ’s Tony West, James Brosnahan, Jeff Bleich

    We are carefully following a major developing story out of California relating to president of the State Bar of California — Jon Streeter of Keker & Van Nest.

    Sources close to the inquiry, speaking on condition of anonymity, maintain the multi-prong inquiry into Jon Streeter is rapidly expanding and encompasses broader inquiries than had been acknowledged, with “major breakthroughs” the sources describe as “alarming.”

    More specifically, TLR has learned that special consideration is afforded to the examination of the relationship between Jon Streeter and the campaign for Barack Obama around 2007-2008, as well as subsequent actions (and/or lack thereof) taken by Keker & Van Nest and Jon Streeter.

    As matters presently stand, prima facie evidence creates the appearance of a sophisticated financial scheme executed in 2008 involving Democratic party operatives James Brosnahan of Morrison & Foerster, Jeffrey Bleich of Munger Tulles & Olson (the current U.S. Ambassador to Australasia and friend of President Obama), Assistant Attorney General Derek Anthony West (aka Tony West), and Keker & Van Nest’s Chris Young (formerly of Morrison & Foerster) , as well as others to misuse the “hush-hush” sub-rosa $780,000 originating from the California Bar Foundation.

    According to the sources, in 2007-2008:

    –James Brosnahan, the self proclaimed “mastermind behind the Democratic Party” (and former prosecutor of Caspar Weinberger), while associated with Morrison & Foerster executed from behind the scenes a scheme known as CaliforniaALL, which collected “hush-hush” sub rosa funds totaling approximately $780,000 from the Foundation of the State Bar of California.

    –Chris Young, while associated with Morrison & Foerster, served as Barack Obama’s Northern California Deputy Finance Director.

    –Tony West, while associated with Morrison & Foerster, served as Barack Obama’s California Co-Chair of the California Finance Committee.
