That also applies to the Hussein administration, ACORN and RATS in general.
Too bad nothing will be done about it...since it’s Dems and the MSM won’t pursue it.
they were taught by the best, it seems...
So we have MASSIVE fraud taking place by the people in elected office. Fraud at a level to make Madoff look like an amatuer.
No surprise but what are we gonna do about it? BO doesn’t have the stones to do anything but yap.
That’s the point of this story....when the Obama Administration tries to ignore this, some ambitious little SOB like Andrew Cuomo can and will make a name for themselves over this.
This is exactly the kind of thing that Eliot Spitzer set out to do as well, before he self-destructed. Cuomo is as ambitious as they come, and I have no doubt he has his sights set on Eric Holder’s job in the second Obama Administration...
He is hardly a hero. HE CAVED IN TO PAULSON! Hello every movie you've ever seen should prepare you to know what to do in this situation. What would John Wayne have done? What would the Clint Eastwood character have done? What would the character of Mr. Smith in "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" have done?
Istead Lewis acted like the punk-*ss litte b*tch he is and kissed the butt of Hank Paulson.
What a great way to end a legendary career! Being fired by the Sec. of the Treasury for refusing to go along with a looting scheme aimed at your bank. Instead he let the looting take place, kept his mouth shut, and finally coughed up the truth under oath in an interview with the AG.
That ain't heroic.
Where have all the cowboys gone?
This country runs on greed.
And we know what the likelihood of that is where democrats are concerned.
Look, there've been plenty of opportunities to nail democrat lawbreakers rivaling Watergate in size (some bigger) the media has shown NO inclination to pursue.
WWMDD?
What Would Milburn Drysdale Do?
BTTT/FFR
More strong arm tactics from the Rats from the District of Chicago.
You are right there. The communists RAT party has successfully taken control of America. The corruption is unbelievable and will not stop.
Wait till we get to the GM and Chrysler deals. Won’t matter if Dems are against litigation once the lawyers taste blood.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sent a letter to Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chris Dodd; Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Barney Frank; SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro; and Chairwoman of the Congressional Oversight Panel Elizabeth Warren. The letter outlined how former Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke forced Bank of America’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch – even though Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis and the board of directors tried to pull the plug on the deal after it turned out that Merrill Lynch was far deeper in debt than it had admitted.Been topics about this, but this one seemed clearer to me.
Unless Andy's investigation is more shotgun than laser. Maybe he takes Dodd and Fwank down and damages the haloed one enough to open the door for Hillary in 12.
But this story undercuts the meta-narrative that banks are evil and govt is good. Tough choice for Obama. I’m guessing Bernacke will be collared with the blame so Obama can get his stooge as chairman of the fed. Paulson has already been replaced.
Something tells me that pressure that Bernanke was applying was coming from those that created this crisis in the first place. Bernanke serves masters other than the President and people of the United.States.
Well I wasn’t around for Watergate but it HAD to be juicier than this.
