Does this look corrupt?

Post by CID1990 »

..or is it just coincidence?

Why was it released on a Friday when most folks are concerned with the NCAAs?

Hey TTBF.... Can you explain the timing of this for us dumb folk who might otherwise think this is fishy?

Friday news dump - this has been going on for decades - the Bush Admin was very adept at doing this as well - good news on Monday, any bad/fishy news on Friday.

No different than a company releasing bad news after the markets have closed, etc.

Only because Clinton showed him how to do it first.

oh don't even...

this has been standard operating since at least the 80's...

and the truth is - it doesn't matter which side did it first, because the other side starting doing it the very next week, believe me.

I am much less concerned with Friday document dumps than I am with what is in them. I usually don't pay much attention but this one is a doozy. A reasonable person would deduce that the Obama administration was trying to protect a big supporter's investments by making loan guarantees to a company that they already knew was going under.

I know the people have their radar on for Chicago politics with this president, but you don't even need radar for this one.
