Matt Taibbi further exposes ....

Post by CitadelGrad »

the Wall Street, DOJ, SEC, Federal Reserve criminal syndicate.

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/ne ... s-20141106

... In September, at a speech at NYU, Holder defended the lack of prosecutions of top executives on the grounds that, in the corporate context, sometimes bad things just happen without actual people being responsible. "Responsibility remains so diffuse, and top executives so insulated," Holder said, "that any misconduct could again be considered more a symptom of the institution's culture than a result of the willful actions of any single individual."

In other words, people don't commit crimes, corporate culture commits crimes! It's probably fortunate that Holder is quitting before he has time to apply the same logic to Mafia or terrorism cases.

But apology accepted regarding Taibbi. :mrgreen:

Agreed, I don't think Cat likes the guys, he's more into the girls. Kalm will be disappointed. :lol:

Ok, finally read the article. Nothing surprising, just theft on a grand scale in a rigged system. Jamie Dimon should be rotting in prison. Holder is a fuck and so is Obama. Most Obama supporters and detractors are perfectly fine with financial fraud it appears.

Because after all this activity, all these court actions, all these penalties (both real and abortive), even after a fair amount of noise in the press, the target companies remain more ascendant than ever. The people who stole all those billions are still in place. And the bank is more untouchable than ever – former Debevoise & Plimpton hotshots Mary Jo White and Andrew Ceresny, who represented Chase for some of this case, have since been named to the two top jobs at the SEC. As for the bank itself, its stock price has gone up since the settlement and flirts weekly with five-year highs. They may lose the odd battle, but the markets clearly believe the banks won the war. Truth is one thing, and if the right people fight hard enough, you might get to hear it from time to time. But justice is different, and still far enough away.

What the HELL are you guys talking about?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth

An article about how the Obama DOJ under Holder failed to prosecute Wall Street criminals. You know…the kind of thing that really matters, and that goes right over the head of garden variety republicans such as yourself.

Loretta Lynn, er, Lynch has pretty good prosecutorial creds. Maybe she'll go after Lloyd Blankfein, thus giving kalm the most shattering orgasm he'll ever have.

Funny how you try to turn this on the Republicans. The last time I checked, Obama and Holder are card-carrying Democrats.

I'm not and they are.

It would just really be nice if Republicans went after Obama for things like this, domestic spying, 4th amendment violations, net neutrality, corporatism, etc...

I thought opposition to Obama meant that you were a racist? Maybe they're trying to avoid that tag?
