AP: FBI Investigating Fannie, Freddie, Lehman & AIG
Good - I want to see some CEOs get some no-kidding jail time. Few things anger me more than some dillhole running a company into the dirt.
For crying out loud - in the late 80s the S&Ls all went toes-up for ... MAKING STUPID LOANS. Are our financial institutions’ execs so mind-boggling stupid that they have to make the same freaking mistakes?!
“I wonder if this entire financial crisis was orchestrated for political reasons.”
Not orchestrated, but exploited. Yes, it was. There are some fabulously wealthy individuals who could afford to take losses in order to win this election. They would do whatever it took.
Even this.
Beware. This is a red herring. The folks who are marketing this bailout fraud realize that the populace isn’t going to buy it as is. So they’re sugar-coating it with ill-defined investigations and promises of “punishment” for those responsible.
So the bill passes, the taxpayers get ripped off, and the investigations result in no action. Sort of like how they planned to sell us on amnesty.
Defeat the bailout bill now. There will be plenty of time for prosecutions later.
It used to be three co-equal branches of government around here, didn't it???
It's time for some Jammit Reno style perp-walks around this ghastly "Oil For Food" level of scandals in the Dem controlled CONgress, isn't it???
Can't what's left of this administration muster up some damned perp walks???
Maybe not since Cheney couldn't even corral the conservatives in CONgress. They're just not scared of him anymore. He needs to take 'em huntin, I guess...
With the MSM still in power, justice and the FBI will not do their job.
GW has no control over them. He never has/never will. Look at what happened when he tried to fire a few this past year.
The Clintoon leftovers will try to lynch Cheney, GW, John and Sarah and the MSM will focus on promoting their lies.
The attacks on John and Republicans has started by the MSM as I predicted.
The NY Slimes had this ready to go.

Well just about weekly, sometimes several times a week, I see another MSM deathwatch thread on here... what gives???
Some of the MSM asps are dying. However, even dead poisonous snakes can be dangerous, and some of the MSM asps are still really big.

I was just thinking the same thing, goodness. Does it mean living in this state has made us cynical, or polished our BS meters finer the mirror on the Hubble (the second one. The 1st was BS and had to be replaced).
If Rep. Jefferson is still walking around free (and probably re-elected), what hope is trhere to EVER see these DemocRATS prosecuted? NOTHING will come of this sham investigation.
Dang I hate negativity! Especially my own, but I feel it comin on when our country isn't even safe for liquid Money Market Mutual Funds!!!
I heard today that Bank of America won't even lend McDonalds fanchisees money!!! Now THAT's serious, not series!!!
“the FBI and the oligarchy to whom they serve will not take down sitting congressmen and senators or old Clinton insiders!”
Amen!
Don’t forget our Congressmen Doolittle and Delay who lost their way...
“I just got this alert”
That’s not good. Not good at all.
Well, we need to start treadin on ‘em!!! (with high boots on so’s we don’t git bit)
Our favorite president RR had zero control over justice and the FBI.
They spent more time trying put RR and his cabinet members in jail than going after real criminals.
Yes, and Ollie North, too!!!
No bail-out.
Just take it over and sell it off to American bidders in small chunks — not onlike that “crazy” Kucinich’s plan.
Let us put the shares directly into our IRA’s.
