The defendants are all from North and South America, by the way. But please, continue to lecture me on the facts.

Well, there is one guy from Britain. And none from America that I could tell. Last time I looked, the DOJ was an arm of the American government, not the government of the North and South America:

The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement that two current FIFA vice presidents were among those arrested and indicted, Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and Eugenio Figueredo of Uruguay. The others are Eduardo Li of Costa Rica, Julio Rocha of Nicaragua, Costas Takkas of Britain, Rafael Esquivel of Venezuela and Jose Maria Marin of Brazil.

You're missing the point. Scratch the names and the sport involved. This is a huge bribery and wire fraud, organized crime scheme that's been going on for decades, and significant parts of the criminal activity have occurred in the US.

Substitute "Clinton Foundation" for "FIFA" and what is the difference?

As for the other issues, a lack of political will stops them from being investigated, not a time, money, and/or manpower issue.

Justice is supposed to be blind. Political will should not enter the equation, unless it is the Obama DOJ.

Which is the whole point, by the way. In the grand scheme of things FIFA is nothing to the average American, whereas the damage done by the domestic scandals can and will affect all of us, as the consequences roll out.

In fact, there are stories in the media showing that there is a STRONG Clinton Foundation connection to this scandal at FIFA--one that directly involves the Qatari government.

Indeed, you KNOW the Obama Administration is doing this because if they can connect the Clinton Foundation to that scandal at FIFA, the issues with that Foundation will reflect VERY badly on one Hillary Clinton.
