See post 63...in addition banks and what they do with their money is up to them and their shareholders to hold them accountable for. Goldman isn’t the only bank to pay speaking fees to political hacks...they all do and almost all were riding the mortgage crisis wave...compliments of our very own government putting in place conditions of (everyone has a right to own a home)...the banks rode that wave and yes there was criminality but overwhelmingly protecting themselves against what they knew was going to be bad paper....
Then the dirty little secret was you provide that loan or we strip your Fannie and Freddie servicing quals and we impose fines on you. A lot of folks are very unfamiliar with the dirty government underbelly that caused that whole collapse.
I agree with much of what you say.
The Clinton “speaking fees” were bribes pure and simple. Both Clinton and the bank executives responsible should have been arrested for it. And you must understand that Goldman would not pay that money without a quid pro quo.
Banks are great. There is nothing wrong with them. They are essential for our economy.
But Goldman is part of the government corruption and provides bribes to the Clintons.
The Clintons are worse. But Goldman is involved with them.
