Senator Elizabeth Warren hires Barney Frank's former chief of staff as economic development director

Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced Friday that her office has hired Bruno Freitas as the new economic development director and a senior advisor to serve in Washington D.C.

Freitas joins the Warren team from the office of another Massachusetts politician, former U.S. Congressman Barney Frank, who retired from Congress this year following the state legislature's redistricting process.

Freitas, a New Bedford native, most recently worked as Frank's chief of staff and legislative director, although he has worked with the congressman in some capacity since 1994, when he helped design Frank's first website. Warren's office said that his previous work experience also includes a stint as a staffer with the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, where he focused on Massachusetts’ business and consumer legislative priorities.

"Bruno is an expert on the key economic issues affecting the Commonwealth's businesses and families," Warren said in a statement. "He will bring extensive knowledge of Massachusetts' issues to this position."

Iron Munro~:” “Only the gang leaders change.The muscle and consiglierie just get a new boss now and then.”

The myth of the ‘financial crisis’ began under Clinton when the Federal “Just-Us” Dept., and Bawney Fwank pushed GinnyMae & Feddie Mac and banks to loan to individuals who they knew couldn’t repay the loans.
Wansn’t Fwank’s live-in boy toy with Freddie Mac ?
It only took 14 years for Federal regulators to admit it.
Did that fact appear anywhere in the media or newspapers other than on page #8 ?
The originator of todays national financial issue was totally ignored ; and Clinton is now seen as a political saint by the media and press , and Barney Frank was the overseer .. with no responsibility over the debacle ?
Clinton, Obama, and Bawney Fwank are narcisists; none is held accountable for their actions !
And now , Bawney returns .. ? Common , get real !!
Are we setting the stage for financial debacle , part ll ?

shalom aleichem~:” Does he still wear his trousers backwards? “

It’s sorta like a football game where they have the coin toss.
How he wears the trousers depends on whether he is ‘ the reciever ‘ , or ‘ the giver ‘ !
Either way , it is still a coin toss.
