The following statements were made during the 06 March 2013/23 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/16 Esfand 1391 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questioning of Department of Justice oversight.
“In the case of bank prosecution. I’m concerned we have a mentality of ‘too big to jail’ in the financial sector….Assistant Attorney General Breuer said that one reason that DoJ has not sought these prosecutions is because it reaches out to ‘experts’ to see what effect the prosecution will have on the financial markets.”-Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator from Iowa
“…I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if we do prosecute…..it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.”-Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General
Another U.S. Senator, and economist, went nuts when she heard those statements: “It has been almost five years since the financial crisis, but the big banks are still too big to fail? That means they are subsidized by about $83 billion a year by American taxpayers and are still not being held fully accountable for breaking the law! Attorney General Holder’s testimony that the biggest banks are Too Big to Jail shows once again that it is past time to end Too Big to Fail!”-Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts
Where’s the main streamer media on this one?
Those of us who’ve been dealing with long term unemployment have already seen our economy “negatively impacted”, it’s time for those who destroyed our economy to pay!
