Now you Freepers really didn't think the Wee Wee's administration would prosecute his greatest group of supporters, terribly underpaid unionized bureaucrats, for a little thing like theft, did you?

Usually when government workers (aka public “servants”) do something illegal they receive “retraining” or in extreme circumstances they retire. Always remember, government workers need big screens too. Ask any government employee and they will tell you how they don’t get paid enough and how hard they work. Such selfless sacrifice for the rest of us. Commendable no?

Well the FedGov doesn’t give a rip what we think. Maybe if someone notifies our Chinese lenders their ears will perk up.

You can be sure that the gold and silver coins were redeemed for cold hard cash at the nearest local pawn or coin shop.

Thugs loot. Our government has been seized by thugs.

The looting will continue. Bet the rent.

Oh wait, they just stole the rent money!

How does one become a government employee???

You know -- someone should write a book paralleling the fall of the Roman Empire and the fall of the U.S. I'm really curious as to which was/is more corrupt.

Where are the republicans? Shouldn’t someone demand an investigation? At least the appearance that someone gives a damn about abiding by the law.

Minor point -- the heists occurred on GWB's watch and the article doesn't tell us when the investigation took place.

This story needs to have endless followups until there's some accountability.

Reporters won't win a prize for doing the followup - because NO ONE has ever won a "prize" for making liberals look bad.

Conservatives should start awarding "prizes" to reporters and editors - editors who don't understand the only prize worth having is the respect and trust of their readers...

(In short, it's time for our side to put the cheap bribe on the table along with the liberal press prizes)

Not so minor. The transition began at the beginning of the federal fiscal year in October 2008. Barry was elected the following month. Bush’s watch: 4 months. Barry’s watch: 15 months and counting. At what point did the actual crimes begin?

Article says 2003 and 2004. In 2003, nobody had even heard of Nobama.

Worse? No one was punished. No one has been prosecuted for the fraud

Are you kidding? Obama probably authorized it. These are all government workers who campaigned for him by making calls and sendign out emails during working hours. This is their payback.

Dang right they need some big ol’ flat screens! You don’t expect them to watch porn on some little-bitty screen, do you?

When Algore's lawyers took over the SEC in 2001.
