which wields enormous power and does its business largely in secret.

Everyone knows only the US Senate has those powers

I wish they would arrest individual players for faking injuries.

How is this the business of the USA? We have our own football.

My guess is that they forgot to contribute to the Clinton Global Initiative.

So the (former) “World’s Policeman” can’t do anything to halt the “Junior Varsity” genocide against Christians, women, children and World Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq.

But, by God, they can still go all the way to Switzerland to get those filthy rich men for not playing fair with sporting events.

Can one of our many legal experts explain how the U.S. has jurisdiction over FIFA?

“The investigation was requested by the U.S. Dept. of Justice.”

Another amazing success of US diplomacy. We are the country who cares less about soccer than anywhere on earth. All the other countries are batfeces crazy about it.
So we make sure the top governing body is run right, that they are extradited here, and intend to put them on trial.
And of all the crime on earth, this is a priority.

Who in hell is running this country? Its like a lunatic asylum.

Yet we still have Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton running loose for far worse crimes.

Just goes to show how pathetic our "Justice Dept." is.
