As time goes on and they double down on the behaviors, I am not unconvinced that this fiasco was planned.
Because investigating Wall Street would've led back to Fannie and Freddie...and that would've led to...Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Franklin Raines, Richard Johnson, the President, ACORN and...lotsa other Democrats.

Wall Street bankers are nearly 100% democrats, that’s why! The democrats say publicly that they are all republicans, but that is the lie that no one corrects.

You’re right. Fannie and Freddie were founded by Democrats, have always been operated by Democrats and have served them as a cash cow. I’m no John McCain fan but his plan was to return both Fannie and Freddi to privatization and break them up into six or more separate institutions.
They cost millions of taxpayers hundreds of billions$.
There should be no statute of limitations for elected criminal behavior (personal enrichment) under color of authority.

The “war” on wall street was part of obama’s campaign.
They linked “fat cats” with Romney.
Once the election was over, they no longer concern themselves with wall street.
Yet the funds continue to flow.
And Frank and Dodd got to retire and live out their lives like kings.
