Meanwhile the bankers steal trillions, manipulate and rig markets, commit wild, brazen, out of control fraud--ADMIT TO IT--then do it, over and over and over and nothing happens. Not a single bank executive is arrested or charged, never mind go to prison.
The Feds must think we are so fucking dumb. They arrest a bunch of two-bit soccer execs and now they take down a long-retired politician and that's supposed to make up for their total indifference when it comes to the massive crimes of finance? Nobody should give a fuck until lots and lots and lots of bankers go to jail.
My first thought when I heard about Hastert was "I wonder who he pissed off?"
ReplyDeleteSure, Hastert is corrupt -- and so are many other pols. But pols don't get prosecuted by their own party unless they stepped on someone's toes.
