See post #6 above for more info on Gorelick (thanks, maggief).
Thanks also to Brad from Tennessee for the info below on Gorelick's position at Fannie Mae (1997-200).
... Jamie S. Gorelick, whose official résumé describes her as “one of the longest serving Deputy Attorneys General of the United States,” a position she held during the Clinton administration. Although Gorelick had no background in finance, she joined Fannie Mae in 1997 as vice chair and departed in 2003. For her trouble, Gorelick collected a staggering $26.4 million in total compensation, including bonuses. Federal investigators (PDF) would later say that “Fannie Mae's management directed employees to manipulate accounting and earnings to trigger maximum bonuses for senior executives from 1998 to 2003.” The New York Times would call the manipulations an “$11 billion accounting scandal.” Gorelick, it should be noted, has never been charged with any wrongdoing. . .
Millions/billions times ∞ from Barney Frank on down.
Uncounted $'s handed out above board as well as stuffed in back pockets, politics is bankrupting us. Criminals the lot of them.
The housing market/stock market/regulatory depts are just a chess board to the self appointed elites.
What gives them the right to steal from us??
Stop the graft etc and political favoritism and problem solved.
Jails could be filled, fines levied.
Fair trials and firing squads if the rule of law were applied where applicable.
What did Gorelick do for Clinton to be part of the scum that rose to the top?
Or if you look at her name closely, maybe she went through Gore.
OY!
Odd how the MSM doesn't make a big scandal of this.../s
