I go for the Jujitsu move. Let SanFranNan hold hearings and let it all hang out. In fact, the Rs should INSIST on hearings ASAP and embarrass the hell out of the idiots....unless of course there was so mush R influence peddling that it blows up. Which will it be?

Great! Excellent work! I wished people cared about facts as much as Freeps do!

I don't think there is any question DBM/dems are going to be in this over their heads. Leahy tried to lay this at the feet of McCain because he was head of some committee. This was a cash cow for the DEMS and as usual they've destroyed it, like everything they get their hands on.

Dems see the gov't and gov't programs as a way to get rich and powerful. Many of them are just plain scum. It's not that repubs don't have their worthless creeps, but the DBM/dem have cultivated a thriving culture around illegitimate power and riches.

These people are beyond culpable!

Well, he’s materially correct - the regulators WERE totally asleep at the helm or they were complicit. Take your pick.

That doesn’t mean that Clinton’s administration did any better; Greenspan started blowing the bubble after 2001 when Bush was in office. Clinton didn’t have the same easy interest rate policy. However, everyone R and D took the money and went hog-wild, and the fact of the matter is the Bush administration did not stop it.
