In his 2012 SOTU, Obama announced new measures to investigate illegal conduct surrounding the calamitous sub-prime mortgage crisis that devastated the US economy; a new Unit on Mortgage Origination and Securitization Abuses, to be chaired by Eric Schneiderman, the NYAG, a darling of the left, giving it immediate legitimacy in going after banks and resolving the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

Schneiderman wasted no time. No sooner had he been named to lead Obama's mortgage abuse unit, Schneiderman fired his first shot, filing suit alleging that several major banks and a mortgage registration service engaged in fraudulent foreclosures.
FORBES REPORT---According to an exhaustive investigative report, a judiciary committee investigation launched in 2015 found that Obama's DOJ had engaged in a pattern or practice of systematically subverting Congress’ budget authority by using settlements from financial institutions to funnel money to what is described as “left-wing activist groups.”
The House Judiciary Committee held two hearings, in February 2015 and May 2015, to question DOJ officials regarding the settlement practices.
Both the House Judiciary and Financial Services committees also sent multiple oversight letters, including two to the DOJ, seeking documents and answers.
The probe by the two committees revealed that Obama's DOJ used mandatory donations to direct nearly $1 billion to leftist groups.The judiciary panel also requested the DOJ preserve all documents related to settlement practices.
“It is not every day Congressional investigations find a smoking gun,” Goodlatte said, pointing to the documents. “Here, we have it.”
The internal documents show that a deputy for former Associate AG Tony West -- who now serves as executive vice president of government affairs, general counsel and corporate secretary for PepsiCo Inc. -- asked colleagues about settlements in negotiation. West’s team also went out of its way to exclude conservative groups, internal DOJ documents show.

ARREST BARACK OBAMA FOR TREASON
Why should Obama have worried about what Schneiderman does in his spare time? (BIG /S here)
And, for the record, even though this was 5 or 6 years ago, I bet Schneiderman’s proclivities were well known in top government circles.
And then send him to GITMO!
Gitmo’s only for non-citizens...
And nobody has yet proved that wee barry ever WAS an American citizen.
As he said, send him to GITMO.................
As he said, send him to GITMO.................
Schniederman story broke Tuesday evening.
By Thursday AM, our local lefty dying print newspapers and the TV media already didn’t have a word about him.
How the HE!! is this not illegal? Criminal? Using the muscle of the U.S. Government to funnel money to non-government institutions, subjectively selected, with no Congressional oversight should result in felony jail time for a whole coven of people.
“Obama taps sex deviant Schneiderman”
Nothing more needs to be said.
I am hearing Rush Limbaugh say that “ We may never know what happened with the Iran deal “....
Au contrare ! Put Obama on a waterboard several times a day for a couple of weeks and we will know ever single minute detail !
DO IT
We know that L/E is looking into criminal charges against the perv....if that’s any consolation.
Schneiderman was one odious abrasive creature. I really hope he suffers as his fellow dems prosecute him for political points. Nothing like a taste of your own medicine.
Obama is a typical democrat - a Cuckold.
Does he want this creep to have Michelle in the sack ?
Precisely!
Jeff Sessions Ending DOJ Handouts to Activist Groups ‘a Tremendous Victory’
Breitbart | 06/12/17 | Dan Riehl / FR Posted by Enlightened1
President of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweizer, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXX host Raheem Kassam on Monday regarding Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to end Department of Justice handouts for leftist groups, which has come to be known as something of a “slush fund.”
As Breitbart News reported:
For decades, through a variety of initiatives, the DOJ has insisted on donations to third parties as part of the settlements it reaches with defendants, especially corporations. In the Obama administration, this practice took on the character of a “slush fund,” which funneled hundreds of millions of dollars from these corporate defendants and put it into the hands of non-government organizations.
Recipients have included left-wing “community organizer” groups such as the National Council of La Raza, or “The Race,” a Latino racial advocacy group that supports mass illegal immigration. Other recipients include the National Urban League, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, and NeighborWorks America, which is a congressionally chartered mortgage aid group that itself has come under widespread criticism.
“This is a tremendous victory people ought to be very encouraged by,” said Schweizer.
The idea got its start under Eric Holder as far back as the Clinton administration. “The problem is, it got distorted, as so many things do in Washington, DC,” added Schweizer. “And so rather than going to the victims of what a company might have done, they ended up giving it to activist groups. And many of these activist groups, like La Raza, like others, not only didn’t do things to alleviate the activity that had taken place, they actually used the money for things like voter registration.”
“These were politically active groups,” he added.

More stories like this an US Voters might just start thinking waterboarding our own political/media class is a good idea.
Everyone knows this. But there is nothing in our institutions that can prevent this.
