Frontline: The Untouchables (Video)
PBS ^ | January 22, 2013

Posted on 01/23/2013 6:56:04 AM PST by Hotlanta Mike

Frontline examines why no Wall Street execs have been prosecuted for the financial crisis.

(Excerpt) Read more at pbs.org ...


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Crime/Corruption; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS:
I saw the PBS broadcast last night. Not a mention of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And it is very apparent that Lanny Breuer(Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice) is the man at the center of this, much like Fast & Furious.

If this were a Republican administration there would be blood curdling screams from the MSM about Republican cronyism.

Now, they barely notice that no one on Wall Street paid for the stunts they pulled, and the money the cost the average investor.

The public is too stupid to understand, and the media isn’t giving the public any clues that they should be upset about this.

If Wall St. should pay for 2008, there are liberal Democrats in Congress who should pay first. Wall St. took advantage of a situation caused by them, starting with Jimmuh “Peanut Brain” Carter.

At the 2nd Tea Party protest in Atlanta (the HUGE one), helicopters overflew the crowd.

Later, we heard news reports that Lanny Breuer had ordered them.

I was always disgusted that Hannity had him on his show as a guest and never broached that topic with him.

It is this reason that Obama won the primaries in 2008 versus Clinton. Obama agreed to bail them out while Clinton campaigned to prosecute and jail them. Follow the money!!!

Oh yeah, it is clear as day now. The bankers/financiers poured massive $$ into Obama’s 2008 campaign for a reason. And then think about Holder and Geithner as important cogs in Obama’s administration.

FRAUD?

How'bout the thousands of fabricated FICO scores Argent/Ameriquest mortgage manufactured?



The SEC evidently couldn't find it's own arse and THAT fraud with both hands and a SQL statement telling them EXACTLY how to find it.

FAIL

>>Lanny Breuer had ordered them.

Typical little man in a big position. Probably needs to sit on a phone book to slurp his fruit loops at the breakfast table.

>>Not a mention of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Or Ambassador Roland Arnall (The Godfather of Subprime)
Or Penny Pritzker (Obama National Finance Chairwoman)

{ speaking to the peanut gallery }

YOU PUSSIES AT FRONTLINE CAN’T DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT?

FAIL
