Ms. Ayers and Ms. Valentine admitted making false entries to contractual-allowance accounts. Ms. Morgan falsified cash accounts, and Ms. Edwards falsified asset accounts, according to court papers. Mr. Livesay conspired with senior officers to direct the accounting fraud from 1996 to 1999, the papers said. And nobody figured out what they were doing was illegal?
Darn. I keep forgetting.
Clinton was president and Auntie Janet was then AG. All US law was suspended and/or not enforced.

Nobody figured out what the ladies were doing was illegal.
But then, I keep "forgetting."

Presto-chango. All US laws were suspended and/or not enforced.

You nailed it. From the time BJ Clintoon took over as the chief criminal of the DNC and our country, there was no controlling legal authority.

I can just picture Auntie Janet roaming the Justice Dept mumbling, "Laws? What laws?"
It was said she showed up at meetings with the highest JD officals carrying a yellow legal pad.
Guess she wanted to jot it down if something "important" was said.
What a lamebrain.

This isn't the last we'll hear of this. Most companies are getting off the hook. Ever read about companies restating their earnings from 1 to 3 years in the past. How about routine company layoffs. So many companies are guilty of bad practices, that there isn't enough manpower to handle the investigations. This will continue for a while. It certainly isn't helping, and is detracting from any chance of recovery.

If beneficial to the Clintoon cause the above is true. In many other case the Jamit Rhino Gestapo went a little wild.

The real crime is that so far none of the Feds have gone after the accounting firm that signed off on all of those corporate books and SEC filings for all of those years: Ernst and Young.
Sure, they can hammer some white collar women for fraud, but heaven forbid that we have another accounting firm scandal...
< /DISGUST >
I mean, *why* have auditors if they aren't doing any real auditing?! Why file all of those forms with the SEC in the first place, if they don't mean anything?

All of this occurred during the Clinton-era presidency. Auntie Janet was Clinton's AG. from the same Justice Department that couldn't figure a legal justification to extract bin Laden from Somalia on a siver platter.
I don't suppose any enterprising reporter has checked these perps for DNC/Clinton contributions during the period in question?
