WALL STREET PROSECUTIONS UNDER OBAMA: ZILCH
The Washington Times ^ | 08/20/12 | Jean-Claude Groulx

Posted on 08/20/2012 8:01:30 PM PDT by stevek1

For all the bluster of Obama, pre- and post-2008, as well as that of Attorney General Eric Holder concerning the alleged criminal activities on Wall Street, there have been zero Wall Street prosecutions under Obama/Holder. Compare that with his predecessors Bush and Clinton:

Bush: 1,300 convictions; Clinton: 1,000 convictions; Obama: Zero attempts.

” - - - There will be some come along soon to explain it to you.”

That would be me:
1.) 95 % of the US Housing Market is controlled by the FHA, Freddie and Fannie,
2.) All Federal Regulators failed to regulate,
3.) Federal laws were passed and signed to force Banks to make unprofitable loans,
4.) Greenspan was warned by his workers, but said “I don’t believe it,”
5.) Politicians have convinced The Media that the US Federal Government was blameless in the Federal Housing Crash of September, 2008.

The New York Times was unable to connect these dots...

Some brilliant Freeper (was it you?) posted a PDF of an ACORN Brochure that stated in it’s copy that WELFARE payments and UNEMPLOYMENT benefits and FOOD STAMP income could be counted as INCOME when applying for a home loan.

This is the Cloward/Piven sh*t that has gotten us where we are today.

Not one stinkin’ congresscritter is aware of it, I’ll bet.

Nope, it wasn’t me that posted that PDF.

” - - - - Not one stinkin’ congresscritter is aware of it, I’ll bet.”

WRONG! Every “congresscritter” is aware, and is in full CYA mode.

The most guilty even authored a Bill with only 1/3 rd of the Regs. now written, Dodd-Frank is the Ultimate CYA Bill/Law/Bill.

The Wa Times article you posted is just an excerpt from the American Thinker.

Note that the original article can be found at the Daily Caller

So, the Daily Caller writes an article based on an exclusive report. American Thinker takes that article, excerpts it and adds some stuff of their own. Then the Wa Times takes the American Thinker article and excerpts it.

Whew! :)

Where does this guy get his numbers? Rajat Gupta (former Goldman Sachs board member) was just prosecuted for insider trading, in a highlt publicized trial. Yes, it’s only one prosecution, but it calls into question whatever research went into the article that said zero.
