The CME turns on Corzine; Corzine appears to have been caught lying under oath to Congress. If you go to the Zero Hedge link, you can see a video clip of the "unscripted" remarks. Unscripted? Ha!

I’ve always wondered why the remarks have to be provided before the kabuki theater begins. I’ve assumed it’s to enable insider trading.

Who is he fooling.

Laws no longer apply to DEMOCRATS, and all THREE of these clowns are maxed-out Obama 2012 donors.

You’ll notice the non-Fox media isn’t clamouring for Obama or Clinton to RETURN the stolen MFG money, haven’t you?

Never underestimate the ability of a Democrat to escape justice.

I think that what is really going on behind the scenes is a battle over who has priority claim on the wrongfully “loaned” customer assets: the derivative claim holders (who were at least partially paid), or the customers whose assets had been secretly pledged as collateral for MFG’s highly leveraged bets which went against them.

The lid is being kept on that epic private debate because the public and political outcry resulting from honest transparency on the subject would favor the unsuspecting and victimized clients... even though current bankruptcy law clearly gives priority to those with claims on the derivatives. The last thing the international bankster regime can afford is to have their world thus rocked by actions that would make their derivatives scheme unravel and expose their insolvent asses further.

Is it true that Obama’s re-election warchest has about $900M in it? [/jk]

Yeah, but it's not like he was taking steroids while playing baseball.

So what if he lied to Congress? The ex-Senator will never go to jail for it.

The "[/jk]" stands for "just kidding".

See? Corzine "loses" something like $900M, so I joked that Obama suddenly had $900M in his election fund.

It's like a TV show. The Congresscritters (morons) have to have their writers (staff people) develop a script for them beforehand so they don't sound like the morons they really are.

Not one in ten of these people 'representing' us in congress has a clue how the world works. They are just tools with nice hair cuts and expensive suits. Kind of like Dan Rather. Most would starve to death left to their own devices. The staff people (i.e. the permanent government) really run the show.

It's show biz.

” Is it true that Obama’s re-election warchest has about $900M in it? “

Given the proximity of Soros to power, the amount to re-elect Obama is better said to be.....unlimited.

Didn't you forget the $535 million Solyndra money?

CME clearly doesn’t want any misunderstandings of how overnight (Thus/Fri) money was moved out right from underneath their noses and then over the weekend missing money ballooned to over a trillion just before the receiver/trustee took over.

I read where even in a bank failure, bank depositors are third in line to get their money back esp. if the insurance fund runs dry.

Here, investors that had cash deposits don’t even qualify for the insurance fund (SIPC) due to a loophole in the law (lobbied for by Corzine).

Besides that, if these losses stand then trading/clearing houses like CME need to instill some kind of confidence that their holding of deposits won’t be subjected to outright theft. Bad for business, ya know.
