Former Head of Make-Believe Integrity Unit Becomes Parter

Former Integrity Head Joins Kirkland & Ellis
The New York Law Journal by Joel Stashenko  -  September 15, 2011

The former head of the state Commission on Public Integrity, Mitra Hormozi, has become a partner in Kirkland & Ellis, the firm announced yesterday. She will specialize in government investigations and defending those facing white-collar prosecutions, said Jeffrey C. Hammes, chair of Kirkland's global management executive committee.  Ms. Hormozi, the former deputy chief of staff to then-attorney general Andrew M. Cuomo, was tapped as chair of the integrity panel earlier this year after Mr. Cuomo became governor (NYLJ, Jan. 19).  In the attorney general's office, Ms. Hormozi coordinated initiatives on public integrity and consumer fraud. Before that, she spent six years as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District, working primarily on organized crime and racketeering cases.  The Public Integrity Commission is now being transformed into a new Joint Commission on Public Ethics with additional powers that the old panel did not have when it was formed by Mr. Spitzer in 2007 (NYLJ, Aug. 16).

  4. The Devil's Chief NY Disciple, Andrew Cuomo, has renamed integrity as ethics, shuffled the offices and made it safer for all the Devil's novitiates, aka crooked NY lawyers, to escape justice and punishment.
    Integrity, ethics, honesty and decency are repugnant to both the Devil and Cuomo.
