What Rubin did, as a private citizen, IS suspicious and IS being looked into.

True, but Rubin was just out of office as a prominent government official, and he is still a prominent Rat. They'll look into his crime and ignore it because he's a famous Rat, the same way Reno used to look into probable crimes. Why do you think O'Neill and Card avoided the question?

She owned quite a lot ; I don't recall the exact amount. You want be to see if I can find the exact number ? I do ; however , know, that she got $ 227,000 from her sale of those stocks, which she sold on December 27th ... the same day, that Waksal's daughter sold the 5 million dollar's worth, that Sam had just signed off to her, because he couldn't sell any more shares. This was, I believe, PRIOR to the announcement to the public !

I found the exact amount. She owned 3,928 shares. The stock went down $8.79 on the day of the announcement. You're counting the entire value of the shares. I'm counting what she saved with the insider information, which was $34,527.12 not counting commissions. Once the news became public, she no longer benefitted from insider information.

She hasn't been convicted, but the punishment should fit the crime if she's guilty. Pay restitution, pay a fine and court costs, and probably be suspended from corporate governance for a period of time. Still my point is the government wastes thousand more times that on an average day. The problem with our economy isn't fraud. It's the lack of growth policies coming out Washington, and a failure to hold the proper culprits like Greenspan and Rubin (when he was in office) accountable.

The most telling thing that leads to speculation about back room collusion is the silence of Republicans and Democrats on vote fraud. The Democrats only screamed about it because they were caught red handed, and when caught red handed the guilty scream loudest about the bad situation and point fingers at the other guy.

Thats so true. The GOP has no desire to unearth all the dead from the clinton era. Its as if it never happened.

So, like OJ, Clinton walks free.

OK, Hannity may have hit the button -- very interesting, thank you!

Now, let's go back and cut out the fact the phone was disconnected. Rereading the discussion without the cut-off does not change the facts.

Both O'Neill and Card wished to intentionally drop the Rubin subject. No BS there. Go figure.

"If the Democrats advance in November, the following two years will be tough indeed. It's up to us to pressure our own political party to shape up, or else there will be plenty of shrapnel for us all. There's still time, and it's good that this forum is trying to keep our elected officials "honest".

Amen.
