The most ironic, or offensive, factoid is that all this money has yet to buy one single deposition from Raines or any of the other executives. They have utterly stonewalled the investigations. We are spending millions of dollars for their attorneys to attend the depositions of everyone else but the execs who created the fraud.

You racist!

Holder? Holder? Anyone seen Attorney General Holder?
Or is he on the sidelines at the moment looking for people to recommend for presidential pardon?

Almost all companies have provisions in their certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or the equivalent) that require those companies to indemnify officers and directors to the full extent provided by applicable law. That’s the reason why.

Oh wait man.

Hold on here.

Full STOP.

You. don’t. even. know. the. HALF. of. it.

You want to get mad?

I mean, pissed enough to spit and foam at the mouth?

You want to watch a dedicated government servant trying to do his important job get literally screamed, yelled, and ranted at by a mob of bureaucrats out to protect their precious nest egg?

Oh you do?

You do want to watch that?

Great then.

That’s right. Armando Falcone was just doing his job trying to help avert a looming financial crisis that was going to cripple the entire financial services industry. And Barney Frank couldn’t WAIT to get this guy out of the chamber, pontificating over and over again that nothing was wrong, there’s nothing to see here folks, WHY ARE YOU ALL PRETENDING SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN?! HUH?! WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM??!!

Only Davis, out of all these assclowns, ever apologized for his behavior here and admitted they should have listened to the regulators.

Frank, Waters, all the rest – not one peep. This video has gone down the media memory hole. They want to keep it there.

Share it with everybody you know.

Because they got away with this, people.

THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT.

We are now dealing with the AFTER EFFECTS of what they got away with.

BUT THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT.

And they deserve to be held accountable.

At least there’s that. Thus far they have been able to avoid any accountability.

Don’t let them CONTINUE to get away with it.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the Republican party are no where to be found or heard from…

There are no leaders from the Republican Party.
So far the only ones with balls enough to take on the Left are Sarah Palin, the blogosphere and Fox News.

Three reasons:

1) A majority of Americans were suicidal enough to elect Democrats to be in charge of congress and the oval office.

2) Democrats are crooks that cover for one another.

3) Democrats believe that American tax dollars are their Golden Goose, and they will tax and spend all they wish since they are royals, while we are simple subjects.

Even Franklin Raines, Who Left In 2004…

Why are we paying legal bills for Fannie Mae execs?
American taxpayers have already bailed out Fannie Mae to the tune of at
least $45 billion, thanks to the congressionally-mandated purchase of
sub-prime loans and conversion to mortgage-backed……

The Fanni Mae and Freddy Mac ripoff was much worse than the AIG bonuses and we didn’t hear a word about this.
.
Raines made over 100 million at his post and his other cohorts also did similarly well on our back and we’re still paying for these guys?!!
.
We need a Glenn Beck report on this to get some action.

Why should the GOP draw the attention of the mainstream media and deflect from the fact that the dims are commiting political suicide? They need to sit back and get ready to pick up the pieces in 2010.

The reason we are paying legal expenses for criminal finaciers is the same reason that real health reform cannot be passed to keep health costs from skyrocketing. The democrats are OWNED by the trial lawyers. Howard Dean, being the loon that he is, said the only true thing that he has ever said by saying trial lawyers are so prominent a force in the party that they would not allow any tort reform associated with the bill. FLUSH CONGRESS IN 2010.

Sarah Palin has to pay her own legal bills against frivolous, partisan, baseless attacks, but WE pay the legal bills of a real criminal. This is despicable, like so many other things done by our Washington elite. Get them out of office and stop these payments!

Since Beck is working on the czars, maybe Hannity can get on this case of shameful treasury pilfering and blatant insider corruption. So much work, so few watchdogs... with teeth.

The Fannie/Freddie cesspool should have been cleaned out ages ago. John McCain and George Bush should have pressed on with investigations when the examiners were testifying that there was a problem.
Clean up this mess and start the indictments and our economy will start coming back. So much evil will be exposed. These tenticles go way, way back and you will find Obama and his buddies enmeshed in it going back to his organizing days.
Make all committees in the House and Senate have time limits. Apparently serving on banking committees attracts too many members that have spouses in banks. Too many hands in the national cookie jar. This should have been done last fall during the campaign. There was never a good investigation. We even canceled our local newspaper because they could not/would not tell this story.
