The US Attorney Erik Siebert had a stunning conflict of interest his entire career at the DOJ but kept it hidden – and now he is gone.
President Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert this past week. Seibert was nominated for US Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. President Trump shared the following:
Today I withdrew the Nomination of Erik Siebert as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, when I was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support of the two absolutely terrible, sleazebag Democrat Senators, from the Great State of Virginia. He didn’t quit, I fired him! Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!President DJT

The far-left media complained that the President’s firing of Seibert was outrageous and only done because Seibert wouldn’t prosecute radical Letitia James for her multiple instances of mortgage fraud.
What the Legacy Media won’t tell you is that President Trump had every reason for firing Seibert. Erik Siebert the US attorney fired by Trump had prepared a 51 page Memo outlining why Jim Comey should not be charged for crimes he committed while at the FBI. However, Siebert did not disclose that his father-in-law, his wife’s father is the godfather to Comey’s daughter, a stunning conflict of interest. Siebert should have recused himself but he never did.

The Washington Post confirmed this relationship with Comey when former VP Mike Pence obtained Richard Cullen as his attorney.
But other parts of his resume attracted even more interest. For three years, Cullen worked at a Richmond law firm with a central figure of the Russia investigation: FBI Director James B. Comey, who was just fired by Pence’s boss, President Trump.
And not only is Cullen his “close associate,” as news reports described, but he is also the godfather of one of Comey’s daughters.
President Trump should have fired Erik Seibert because Seibert should have reported his relationship with Jim Comey and he didn’t.
