The investigation began before Standard & Poor’s cut the United States’ AAA credit rating this month,

The investigation may have been started before the rate cut but the results of that investigation are now a forgone conclusion.

Ah, so nice to see the Chicago Thugs in action. I hope S&P prepared for this possibility.

Der Fuhrer and his Gestapo are not happy campers right now. The folks down at S&P are about to get their butts handed to them. Never mess with der Fuhrer. This isn’t America anymore, Toto.

An investigation would lead back to banks then Congress itself, don’t expect much out of this probing. Maybe a scapegoat is found, at the most.

S&P and Moodys have the cash to pay attorneys to defund against the witch hunt. Fitch is a small player and cannot affort the full on assault of the department of justice.

That’s why Fitch didn’t downgrade the US.

Either way, the cow poop is going to hit the high speed propeller.

Had Standard & Poor’s let the credit rating stand at triple-A Holder's investigation never would have seen the light of day.
