My take is most of these wild child hedgers are Democrats. So the Democrats are covering up for their buddies. Hillary got tremendous level of donations from Wall St

The Democrats are already trying to cover up the fact that their donors and supporters are the ones who engineered the financial panic in an effort to create another Great Depression.

At some point here things may get rough enough that we will need to convene some ad hoc "peoples' courts" to bring these guys to the bar of justice.

On O’Reilly last night, Ben Stein mentioned that the humongous Ivy league endowments are also likely tied into the hedge fund mess. If you check Open Secrets, I believe the category “education” contributes in about a 5 to 1 ratio for the Democrats, so they don’t want to touch this.

If anyone can follow up on the endowment/hedge fund angle, I would love to hear it, since they ran out of time before Ben could get into it and explain it more fully.

A statement from the committee said, “the committee has postponed the hearing in order to accommodate the schedules of witnesses.”

This is dem code for "we can shake these suckers down for BIG bucks".

“A statement from the committee said, “the committee has postponed the hearing in order to accommodate the schedules of witnesses.””

Sounds a tad better than “We’re having our chairs reupholstered.”

OK....let’s just put the whole dam country on hold until after the election. What the hell, if Congress can do this and refuse to investigate, we can stop everything else. Like don’t pay bills, don’t pay Congress......they aren’t doing what they get payed for anyway.

He didn’ get the opportunity to explain it fully because, as usual, BOR wouldn’t shutup and let him talk!

Le me see if I can predict the questions to George Soros:

[Waxman] “Mr. Soros, sir. Did you have anything to do with the market collapse?

[Soros] “No”

[Waxman] “I have no further questions and I commend the witness on his honesty in directly answering this question.”

A nice thought, but like every dirty deal the 'Rats are involved in, nothing will come of this. This is SOP for 'Rats. Postpone things until after an election, knowing that in two years no one will even remember this. The media will provide cover for the 'Rats, bury it down the memory hole, or find a way to blame it on the 'Pubs (who will do their usual roll over), and the stupid, idiotic, incredibly lazy sheeple will buy it.

I've always wondered why yelling isn't allowed.
