"investigators better wear rubber gloves"

Barney Frank — a fading Capitol Hill power broker — will return to Washington stripped of his committee clout and wearing a target on his back as top Republicans vow to probe mortgage giants bailed out by taxpayers on the Newton Democrat’s watch.
“I think there’s a responsibility to get down to the errors in judgment which helped create the current financial crisis,” said U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, a California Republican set to become a leader on the powerful Financial Services Committee chaired by Frank. “The fact that Congress was repeatedly warned by the regulators . . . requires vigorous congressional oversight and investigation, lest we repeat the mistakes of the past.”

Asked about a potential GOP probe of the lenders, Frank told the Herald: “I’m all for it. It’s very different from before 2008 and after.”

Barney and probe should not be used in the same sentence!
Bawney is a walking petri dish.
Justice won't be served until that vile POS is wearing an orange jumpsuit.
Then he’ll be wearing the target somewhere else.
"investigators better wear rubber gloves"
LOL....stripped......probed....
I hope they do more than that to Barney.
How about the errors in motivation? You know, like criminal intent.
Republicans should open as many investigative fronts as they can against the Dems’ policies over the past few years. Keep them busy shredding documents and spinning like Tazmanian devils, while the Repubs start their own legislative efforts to undo the harm these policies have caused. It’s an opportunity to teach the electorate the dangers of liberalism.
Saw a clip this morning of Pres. Bush hawking his book on Oprah. She asked why he didn’t do anything to prevent the financial collapse and he said, “I tried.” That was the end of the clip. I’ll bet he didn’t say that Barney Frank poo-pooed Bush’s suggestion that Freddie and Fannie were in trouble and nothing was done about their corrupt practices.
Frank needs to be grilled in front of his own committee and my dream is to see this toad frog-marched out of his office to a waiting police car.
Mr.Gloria Swanson!
Barney: “But, orange looks just soooooo wrong on me!”
The people in those industries AND the ones in Government at all levels who caused this need to be publicly exposed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. Frank, Dodd, and the rest are directly responsible for the damage to the US economy and they need to be brought to account.
There’s so much incriminating stuff that he’s said on tape, in his mega arrogance that a microscope shouldn’t even be necessary.
ping
That’s what he’d hope for.
Better to put him in isolation.
“LOL....stripped......probed....
I hope they do more than that to Barney.”
Barney would enjoy it.
I have 1/2 a notion to send some money to Darrell Issa for paper.....he is going to be working up lots of subpeonas.
