Jon Corzine could and should have been the Republican response to the assault on the Koch brothers. Former CEO of Goldman Sachs, former New Jersey Politician (Senator and Governor), big campaign bundler for the Obama campaign. The outright theft of money from MF Global’s shareholders, for the purpose of speculation, on his authorization was a crime and should have been prosecuted. The Democrats, and their allies in the press, who railed about Jack Abramoff, yet are silent on Corizine.
Every time one of my progressive associates goes off on the Koch brothers, and GOP support of the 1%, I make a simple statement to shut them up, “Jon Corzine is a free man.” The phrase is guaranteed to shut down the rant.
For the GOP, Corzine should be the poster child for Democrat corruption and the hypocrisy of progressives with respect to the class warfare mantra. Yet Romeny, Boehner, McConnell, Rove, Jeb, and the rest of the GOP elites have been silent on Corizine. Romney could easily have made the failure of the Holder Justice Department to indict Corzine an issue in the 2012 election, yet he said nothing.
The GOP is in the pocket of Wall Street, not Main Street. Corzine knows where the bodies are buried. Hence - silence from the GOP and immunity from prosecution. The elites stick together.
Too big to jail...the demokrat mantra.
