He's turning himself and his gay lover at Freddie Mac in for justice?

Is he letting people know they better not talk?

That he's in charge of the investigation? A tipoff will be that the MSM will find this too complicated - well unless they can find a Republican scapegoat - at which point the MSM will wake up.

This is like putting Capone in charge of the Illinois State's Attorney's office.

can Jamine Gorelick be on this jury too?

And Barney's friend over at Freddie - can he be one of the judges?

"Democrat says he has no specific targets in mind"

But he will scour every bath house, every rest stop and the men's room at the Boston Public Library until he finds the bastards that did this.

Why are the repubs so meek & quiet & cowardly in the face of Bwarney Fwrank’s outrageous hpyocrisy in calling for prosecutions, when he should be turning himself, Dodd & the One (piss be upon him) for their complicity in causing this to happen??? Cowardly sniveling spineless repubs should be screaming from the rooftops for felony criminal & civil suits against Bwarney!!!

“Why are the repubs so meek & quiet & cowardly ... “


As a result, about half the country has taxation without representation.

No better example of how insane and upside down everything in government has become. The most guilty of all calling for the prosecution of others. When will we recover from this insanity?

Apparently Barnie the blowmeister thinks there is a an opporunity for some tough love behind bars. Considering his age, he might have trouble finding the love he seeks. Stay tuned....

Ok Bahney...lets have a completely independent prosecutor have at it. Start with the CRA back in 1976 and work forward. Include ACORN’s tactics and affiliations with politicians, bankers, and of course...you!

To #4: “Barney wants to go to jail. It’s a great place for him to meet men.”

I’ll provide him with a large jar of vasoline (with Ben Gay in it).

Then it’s “Party time, dude.”

Because they don’t know how to communicate the facts to the public, and they are timid, gutless, feckless, and useless.

And his strategy is simple. If he is the head of the KGB he can control the investigation to exclude himself and his fellow Demo-Socialists.
