The real reason New York US Attorney Preet Bharara was asked to resign

New York Senator Charles Schumer was instrumental in getting Bharara appointed to that position and in return was asked from time to time to do favors for the senator and his allies. Up until recently, President Trump had no idea what was really going on. Once President Trump’s staff understood the quid pro quo, they had no choice but to ask for Bharara’s resignation.

In 2015, Puerto Rico defaulted on $70 billion in municipal bonds. Those involved panicked. There was ample evidence that the issuing agencies were technically bankrupt when they issued the bonds and that they purchased fraudulent credit ratings from Moody’s Fitch and S&P. Wall Street’s biggest banks then knowingly sold junk bonds to innocent investors, labeling them as safe investments. Everyone made a ton of money, except the innocent investors.

The evidence of this massive criminal act was overwhelming. The lawsuits and complaints to the FBI and SEC were streaming in. Dozens of Wall Street executives could go to prison. This was serious.

Thank you, too. After reading this article, I was afraid the corruption had spread so far that even Trump would not be able to defeat it. Perhaps there is still hope!

Thanks for the info. (See my previous post 61.)

This brings up a somewhat related question, however.

How many bills pass with “significant” support from both sides of the aisle? Say, at least 10%. I was under the impression that a great deal of “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” still goes on, despite the media constantly harping about “disunity”.

Do you have thought on this? In January 2016, they submitted a rider to the energy bill that unbelievably would prevent the innocent bondholders from suing. All four politicians were quickly rewarded and the Wall Street contributions flooded in.

This can be verified but at this point I'm not sure how.
