Why Walmart wants Rachel Brand

There is a lot of speculation this week about the reason Rachel Brand is stepping down as DOJ number 3.  Cue the scary music and intonations of Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre.  Ugh!

But I don't think this is anything more than the D.C. revolving door, and Ms. Brand and her husband are expert at this.  Hubby Jonathan Cohn makes oodles of money at white shoe Sidley, Austin after leaving the Bush DOJ, where his wife worked, as well.  Both went to Harvard Law, she clerked for Anthony Kennedy, he for Clarence Thomas, and they are pals with Ted Cruz.

I can't help recalling that Hillary Clinton was once on the board of Wal-Mart.  Probably nothing but I think my memory is serving me well on it.

For six years, it seems.

Now, as a top executive for Walmart, Rachel Brand will literally be paid millions of dollars, and you may wonder why she is worth such a salary.  The reason is pretty obvious.  As associate attorney general, she was in charge of a couple of departments, most notably the Antitrust Division.

What's Walmart up to these days?  Buying up online retailers like Jet.com, the better to compete with Amazon.  Who decides if Walmart can keep buying up these companies and, more importantly, if Amazon can keep buying other retailers like Whole Foods?  The Antitrust Division.

That makes perfect sense.

It does. Though vexing to most of us, it's what Walmart must do to deal with the anti-trust laws.

I can only imagine the vitriol this line will inspire at TOS! They still believe all those lies someone told about him ad his family during the campaign.
