Whistleblower: Pelosi Covered Up Role In Crisis (Housing Bubble)

Subprime Scandal: We've long suspected the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission wasn't honest in examining events before the meltdown. But an ex-commissioner says the probe was actually a full-blown political cover-up.

In a just-released book, former FCIC member Peter Wallison says that a Democratic Congress worked with the commission's Democratic chairman to whitewash the government's central role in the mortgage debacle. The conspiracy helped protect some of the Democrats' biggest stars from scrutiny and accountability while helping justify the biggest government takeover of the financial sector since the New Deal.

Wallison's sobering, trenchantly written "Hidden in Plain Sight: What Really Caused the World's Worst Financial Crisis and Why It Could Happen Again" reveals that the Democrat-led panel buried key data proving that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies pushed the housing market over the subprime cliff. The final FCIC report put the blame squarely on Wall Street.

Gee, congressmen involved in that giant pile-of-crap?
Who would have thought?

And who would have guessed that our political elite would try covering it up?
Nah, that’s just Conspiracy Nut-Job talk!

Phil Angelides is a long-time POS who’s been floating around in the Rat Toilet Bowl here in California for years. He was at one time State Treasurer.

BTW good on you for Para-Ord.

For a very good summary of the housing meltdown that names names, read THE ARCHITECTS OF RUIN, by Peter Schweizer. Well-documented, easy to read, it’s a full-blown indictment of the liberal mafia.

Just bought it on Amazon. The left’s flying monkeys have trashed the reviews section, which tells me it must be worth reading.

An excellent book.

As Rush so very well explained earlier this week, America doesn’t have a media. The men and women to whom we temporarily grant enormous trust and power can typically betray us without concern for punishment.

I held my nose and voted in 2014. I’ll not play the role of Charlie Brown again. I’ll not condone criminality.

Tell us something we didn't already know. Go back and look at the change in the charter of Fannie Mae (think it was 1994). That was the result of a bogus and long-since discredited "report" from the Boston Fed on racial discrimination in mortgage lending.

As is usually the case, social engineering leads to disasters with the tax payer picking up the tab for decisions made in Washington.
