AP: FBI Investigating Fannie, Freddie, Lehman & AIG

[ladyjane]

Good.

[eeevil conservative]

BOUT TIME!

NO BAIL OUT!!

NADA!

[skeeter]

This is encouraging. As long as such investigation remains free of political stink.

[Cementjungle]

Now that they’re wrapped up the Palin email hacking case :-)

[Amityschild]

Now this could get interesting!

[angelsonmyside]

Sure wish this would have happened earlier but glad I heard it.

[Dutchgirl]

I am shocked!!"

[Interesting Times]

Now THAT is interesting.

I wonder if this entire financial crisis was orchestrated for political reasons.

[lonevoice]

Now what?

[Heartland Mom]

THANK GOD!!!!!

[pissant]

And Dodd, and Franks, and Schumer, and Obama, I pray.

[STARWISE]

HALLELUJAH! !!!!

If they just probe Fannie's and Freddie's corrupt crooks like Raines, Gorelick, Mudd ... I'LL BE THRILLED!!

Per Shep: FBI looking at potential fraud by Fannie, Freddie, AIG and Lehman .. the institutions and the executives who ran them.

OK!!!

[Crawdad]

Just a shot across the bow by Bush to the Congress to pass his proposal.

[stockpirate]

Only after pressure from voters.

NO BAILOUT.

No way, no how!

[meyer]

Just saw that on Fox myself. I was going to try to post it, but it would take me 2 days to get the post together!

Hopefully, this investigation will be thorough, and will make a strong connection between a few of the crooks on the left side of the aisle and Freddie/Fannie. There's some serious stones that need turning there!

[NoobRep]

Good-I hope they start by taking back the millions that Franklin Raines put into his corrupt Democratic pockets.

Then find the rest of these dipshit lefties in bed with Fannie and Freddie and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

[Rodm]

All roads lead to congress.

[Safetgiver]

As long as such investigation remains free of political stink.... Oh, geeeeeeeez, it’s the government. They won’t allow any Congesscritters to hang.

[Miss Didi]

My, my...this is good news indeed.

[tioga]

let’s hope they have been after them for awhile.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

While I am pleased I expect when the congress gets their hands in it the result will be ITS CHENEY'S FAULT

[kms61]

Just a shot across the bow by Bush to the Congress to pass his proposal.

I think it’s just the opposite. The bailout is in trouble and this is supposed to make it more palatable.

[goodnesswins]

Why do I doubt anything good will come of this.....fox....henhouse.....

[Rodm]

Hey Barry, How’s that $140,000 Fannie Mae kickback working out for you?

[skeeter]

I hear ya, the FBI head is a political appointee.

But hope springs eternal.

[NormsRevenge]

The party most responsible and entwined thruout..

[kms61]

I don’t expect much will come of it, but at least the grifters will have to spend some of their ill gotten wealth on attorney fees.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

This bailout is more and more looking like a fraud...

I think any GOP politician who votes for bailout wont survive re-election if running opposed

[Elle Bee]

but the FBI is noting if not a political animal

the FBI and the oligarchy to whom they serve will not take down sitting congressmen and senators or old Clinton insiders

.

[abigailsmybaby]

Can we have a pool as to what the outcome will be? Kinda like a football pool.

[ovrtaxt]

I’d LOVE to see Paulson hauled off to jail, along with every dirty bastard in DC who perpetuated this.

[gorush]

"Oh, geeeeeeeez, it’s the government. They won’t allow any Congesscritters to hang."

I am also pessimistic about the eventual result, but it's going to be entertaining.

[dalebert]

well this should finish things off. remember the last fbi investigation. Lol. we will be digging wild turnips out of the ground by winter just like miss scarlett.

[CE2949BB]

Talk to me when FinCEN gets involved. That'll be news.

[Free State Four]

Hey Barry, How’s that $140,000 Fannie Mae kickback working out for you?

Can you run for president if you are under criminal investigation? If you win, can you pardon yourself?

But seriously, I want to see Jamie Gorelick frog marched. The chutzpah of that broad to sit on the 9-11 commission is breath-taking. Now this. She thinks she is bullet proof!

[blueyon]

Hopefully, this investigation will be thorough, and will make a strong connection between a few of the crooks on the left side of the aisle and Freddie/Fannie. There’s some serious stones that need turning there!

Trust me, the “report findings” will not be issued until Nov 5th or there after.

[pabianice]

Once, this might have meant something. Now the FBI is a paper tiger, completely hamstrung by political correctness and insane lawyers.

[Argus]

They gonna investigate Dodd, Frank, Biden, Clinton, Obama, Raines, Johnson, Gorelick, Reno.....?

[Melinda]

I noticed Dodd looked a bit disheveled today, just not quite himself. Probably had a heads-up that the Feds were knocking.

[Pride in the USA]

Now this is exactly what I hoped would happen. It is about time.

[Bahbah]

Oh please, for once can the people who brought us to this point have their lives made more miserable than all of the decent, honest people they have harmed.

We have lost so much faith as we see miscreant after miscreant escape, Frank Raines, Sandy Burglar, Jamie Gorelick, the list is endless. They keep pointing the finger at the President, who has done nothing, to deflect from their wrongdoing. Our Marines are prosecuted for doint their duty while the well-connected just skate.

I pray this is a serious investigation.

[Rodm]

Kinda like the old check kiting scheme back in 1994.

Only a billion times worse. Today's worthless paper for Tomorrow's worthless paper.

[CedarDave]

This bailout is more and more looking like a fraud... I think any GOP politician who votes for bailout wont survive re-election if running opposed

McCain is for a bailout.

[dfwgator]

We’re gonna need a lot of rope.

[meyer]

Trust me, the “report findings” will not be issued until Nov 5th or there after.

I suspect that you're right. On the other hand, the connection can be made between a few democrat's excessive campaign contributions from certain entities that are now under investigation. Like Obama's $100,000++. This can provide some leverage.

[Revel]

I hope it gets expanded to include some of the other banks. Many of them were in on this. Go after them all.

[sageb1]

I’m hoping for Soros, Kerry, Schumer
