ABC News' Jason Ryan Reports: Attorney General Michael Mukasey has recused himself from the Justice Department investigation into Bernard Madoff and Madoff Investment Securities, according to Justice Department officials in Washington.
Mukasey's son Marc Mukasey, who works for Bracewell & Giuliani in New York, is working on some angle of the defense team. Officials in Washington declined to answer if the Attorney General knew Bernard Madoff personally from his time in New York.
A recent Bloomberg article noted, "Reached by phone at home, Madoff official Frank DiPascali referred calls to his lawyer, Marc Mukasey, a former federal prosecutor now at Bracewell & Giuliani in New York, who declined to comment. His father is U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, a former New York federal judge."

The United States has become the most corrupt country in the world. Marc Mukasey, who works for Madoff’s company Bracewell & Giuliani in New York, is the son of Attorney General Michael Mukasey. Madoff doesn’t go to jail like most criminals instead he is allowed to continue working from his penthouse suite, presumably fixing evidence. The way this is going, Madoff will be getting a 50 billion bail out from the federal government at taxpayers expense.

Republicans Bush, Paulson, Cox! What relief 2009 (after 1/20) will be. War crimes, swindle, economic mayhem, confidence at an all time low in the government that we pay to protect us. "Heck of a job, Brownie"!
Where's your 401K under Republican Cox and Bush's other buddy, Paulson?
Bush's cronies are in the penthouse while most of us are headed for the poor house!
