This administration gave Boeing a very generous deal in air accidents

Administration announced on May 23rd^rd An agreement with Boeing, one of the largest government contractors, to avoid prosecution for the fatal 737 Max Crashes. Boeing has to pay fines and funds for victims, compliance, security and quality. But Boeing had initially filed a criminal objection last year that would be much tougher. He had to admit his guilt for criminal charges of fraud – because of the way he had cheated the government for the scary security failures – such a fraud of fraud is Cain’s signal for a defense contractor such as Boeing. And, Boeing should undergo a monitoring of compliance with justice, with independence and power to impose strict security reforms. Instead, under today’s favorite version, Boeing not only does not get any fraud condemnation, but will maintain her own compliance consultant – a pleasant form she chooses, not an independent external display – a favorite deal if ever existed.

Much of the press has ignored that Boeing is taking the treatment of a child glove as a government contractor now, falling for the handling of administration that did not contrast with the 2024 resolution agreement. And none of the press has caught the way in which a conservative criterion On the day of confrontation of handling this administration.

The story of how Boeing has reached today’s much more generous agreement than last year has many parts, including a brief review of the crash difference, and the attitude of this administration to Boeing. Finally, there is the key role of the well -known, well -known Conservative Federal Judge of Texas – an extremely political judge – who essentially grabbed Boeing Calamity as a criminal government contractor.

Boeing has been trying to put two crashes behind its maximum planes for years, the Lion Air in 2018 and the Airlines Ethiopian flight in 2019. It reached 2021 in the last days of Trump’s first administration that protects it from the prosecution for three years. Then, in January 2024, the doors’ panels dug by a maximum of Alaska’s airlines when Boeing failed to install key bolts. Prosecutors said Boeing violated the 2021 agreement, proceeded with new charges and made an agreement on criminal fraud in July 2024. From the FAA on the operation of the 737 Max Airplane and are involved in trying to cover Dece -Dearnate.

Let’s look at the attitude of this administration towards Boeing. Boeing is both an important defense aircraft contractor and an important civil aircraft contractor. Starting from his role as a defensive contractor, for Boeing to face last year’s stricter appeal for criminal fraud would mean that he is a surname as a felony. This makes it problematic for Boeing to sell to the government, though the government could mitigate the problem by giving Boeing Waivers. About 32% of Boeing’s $ 78 billion came from defense, space and security unit last year.

Concerning the defense of the administration, the head of the March 2125 administration said that all this: “Trump awards Boeing a very necessary victory with a fighter jet contract”. This is the next generation fighter, replacing Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor. The Development of Engineering and Construction itself is worth more than $ 20 billion. Reuters believed that Boeing’s victory would mean he would make the fighter, receiving hundreds of billions of billions of dollars in relation to the life of the contract. President Trump announced the deal at a particularly visible press conference.

In terms of political air, Boeing is the world -wide world market against Europe’s Airbus and China Comac. The administration places a great deal of emphasis on competition in world markets. Last week, Boeing’s chief executive accompanies President Trump for a trip to the Middle East and thanked the President for helping to break up a $ 96 billion order from Qatar Airways.

This leads to a glance back to the past. Boeing could have been stuck with the feeling of last year. Agreed to this objection. The request was made to court with the Ministry of Justice. However, it was not an accident that the resolution agreement was rejected and Boeing was delayed until it got the much better agreement than the new administration.

On the contrary, the invocation agreement went to US judge Reed O’Connor of the Federal Court in Fort Worth, Texas. And Judge O’Connor is renowned as an extreme political conservative. It was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2007. Before then, from 2003 to 2007, he worked on the Republican staff of the Senate Committee for the Judicial Parliament and from 2005 to 2007 even served as the head of the Senator John Cornyn (R-TEX). Few judges can claim a more in -depth education in the democratic policy of the Senate. He has long been the favorite of Conservative Lawyers and General Lawyers of Texas seeking the right judge for lawsuits against politicians issued by democratic presidents.

In 2015, he owned part of the 1968 federal gun federal gun contracts was unconstitutional. This decision was opposed to an appeal.

In 2018, the judge issued a widely critical ruling that hit President Barack Obama’s president for affordable care. This was the third time that the statute had gone to the Supreme Court. It was considered remarkable that a judge would send there for the third time. His decision was overthrown without difficulty.

In 2023 he issued a national command that prevents an ATF rule that sorted the receiver’s gaps as firearms. The Supreme Court overturned his ruling in an opinion written by Judge Neil Gorsuch.

Many other decisions could be mentioned. There are few judges who have brought so many opportunities from conservative lawyers to rule their way – and have taken them.

What is crucial is that Judge O’Connor secured in terms of timetable with his decision to reject Boeing Prea Deal last year, instead of reasons. The reasons were that the resolution agreement would have DEI aspects in the screen selection. This is interesting and shows that the judge thinks like this administration. But what is crucial is not the reason for the decision, but rather that his decision threw the timetable of taking the final invocation agreement, so that it was not what the Biden administration did, but by the new administration. And so, Judge O’Connor’s decision is how Boeing took the opportunity to get a new deal from the new administration – a much better deal.

The press that covers the Boeing Agreement seems to have overlooked the strategic role of a very conservative and political judge. Unfortunately, that’s how things seem to work right now.
