Candidate: Banking committee should be jailed By Jordy Yager Posted: 10/17/08 12:51 PM [ET] McLean, Va. – Republican congressional candidate Keith Fimian called for members of the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee to be imprisoned for their role in the country’s current economic crisis.
“We can’t even govern our way out of a situation like this without larding up the bill. It’s tragic,” said Fimian. “There should be people indicted and imprisoned that are on the Senate and House banking committees.”
Fimian’s comments were made in a debate against Democrat Gerry Connolly, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. They're vying for Rep. Tom Davis’s (R) seat in Virginia's 11th district.

there is a case to be made that they have violated their oath of office re supporting and defending the USA.
im sure a lot of people agree with those comments
FIMIAN FOR PRESIDENT!
What? Congressional accountability?
Who has jurisdiction over the legislative branch?
Got a mirror?

Why do you have to ask?
I believe that as long as said congresscritter has not committed an actual crime, that they cannot be legally held responsible for stupidity while in office.
With respect to Barny Frank, I don’t think that he necessarily committed a crime, but he is derelict in his responsibility.
Chris Dodd on the other hand, I believe has committed a prosecutable crime in accepting preferential consideration from a business under his oversight.
Didn’t Bwarny take money from either Freddie Mac or Freddie Mae?
Those were campaign contributions. Barney didn't get a sweetheart loan deal like Chris Dodd. Where those couple of points off the loan nut directly benefited Dodd.
yes, Barney's campaign contributions benefited him too, but indirectly. Dodd's deal was a straight line cash payoff. Say you borrow $500,000 at 3 points below prime for 30 years, like Dodd. At 5-3/4 percent the monthly nut is $2792.06 At 2-3/4 percent the monthly nut is $2041.20 moreover look at it like this: the rate gave Dodd access to $150K up front, and then not having to actually pay it back. 350K at 5-3/4 for 30 years = $2042.50
Treason and espionage has become defacto legal..
Problem with sending Barney Fag to jail is that he might LIKE it!
Members of the House Financial Services Committee
Members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
Oops! I forgot to include Dodd in this business, too. IMHO, we should clean out both Houses and start over! The bunch in there now have stolen enough.....
“Gallows on the White House lawn” Only if you leave them hanging for a couple of weeks. Maybe the French had it right, off with their heads. I want to see heads roll !!!They are there to serve the American people, not their greedy wallets.
