Report: It Looks Like Corzine Will Likely Stay Out Of The Slammer
Rob Wile | February 24, 2012

(AP)Dealbreaker's Bess Levin reports (via FoxBusiness) that former MF Global CEO Jon Corzine will not face criminal charges for his role in the firm's diverting of client funds and subsequent collapse.

Sources told FoxBusiness regulators were having "a very tough time" gathering evidence that would have put Corzine in the clinker.

That’s because the “regulators” were likely in on some of this.

Although, you and I both know, that Corzine is an immoral and slimy criminal who deserves to be put away forever, he knew how far he could push and still not technically break the law.

They are under orders not to look too hard.

That slimeball knows where a lot of bodies are buried. If he goes down, do you think he’s going to go down alone?

The fix was in from the beginning. The media is falling neatly into line. He’s off the front page, in a couple months it will be “Corzine who?”

“They aren’t looking hard enough.”

Precisely, and they won’t Jon Corzine, a card carrying member of the ruling elite .01%, remains free to roam one of his five palatial estates after stealing $1.6 billion from the accounts of farmers, widows, and thousands of other “clients” of MF Global. In his spare time he raises money for Obama’s re-election campaign. The Federal government, Federal courts and Wall Street banking cabal have circled the wagons and declared the money just vaporized. No one is being prosecuted for this deliberate thievery. The psychopathic Wall Street criminals have been getting away with murder for so long they act invulnerable to societal mores and scoff at our laws, rules and regulations. Those are for the 99%. When you control the politicians, regulators, courts, and mainstream media, it’s easy to get away with murder. The jackals and hyenas are laughing in their NYC penthouse suites as they continue to collect $20 million bonuses for a job well done.

Let's see , ...

Corzine steals $1.6 billion and gets off Scott-free;

"Sandy" Berger stuffs his pants with stolen secret documnets - it was just "sloppy";

"Uncle Teddy" drives drunk and drowns a lovely young girl in his car - no action taken;

Bill Clinton rapes a woman - twice - and there's no outcry from women;

Yet "Scooter" Libby gets sentenced for disagreeing with Tim Russert;

and Tom Delay gets convicted for something that wasn't a crime;

Is there a pattern here?

I wonder when Republicans will have "had enough" and storm the corrupt courts and media offices?

Republicans get into office and say things like lets bury the past and work together. Hence the dem criminals stay out of prison and in office.

Oh, I forgot one ...

Sarah Palin fends off 54 bogus "ethics complaints," leaving her with $500,000 in legal debts and is labelled "a quitter."

I'm changing my tagline ...

Money will not buy everything, but it will usually keep you out of jail.

I was going to post "I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!!", until I read your list. Nicely played!

We need to keep these things alive and make sure our children know about them. Right now, many of the younger people are blinded by youthful naivete. They need to see these examples of breathtaking hypocrisy at a point in their lives when their eyes have opened up.

So we see that John Edwards was right about one thing: There are two Americas.

In the first, a man can go to prison for defending himself against a moocher breaking into his home. Or he can be shot to death at his front door by a SWAT team looking for non-existant drugs. Or he can have his property and wealth stolen by the federal government on some crazed vendetta because he disagreed with an EPA directive.

In the second, a politically connected establishment elite can overtly violate multiple laws, steal millions of dollars from bilked investors and not even receive a slap on the wrist from the legal system.

It’s all fixed. The only reason this is happening is because all sides are complicit. DC, NYC, London, etc, both sides are amoral.
