Politicians are crooked...go figure.
'SO WHAT' CASE 1:
Politicians Guilty of 'Insider Trading', Quietly hanges the Law
-
LINK: How Congress Quietly Overhauled Its Insider-Trading Law
Politicians in
BOTH parties were caught breaking the Law, engaging in 'insider Trading'. Anyone else would have been charged with a crime and gone to jail. The politicians, however, and unbelievably, declared they did not know the laws they pass actually APPLIED TO THEM, declared FROM THAT MOMENT ON they would ensure THAT law applied to them and they would adhere to it, and quickly passed the STOCK ACT which was signed by President Obama (which was UN-Needed and was ONLYT FOR SHOW (for the 'rubes') because we already have a law making it illegal for them to engage in Insider Trading). When the 'heat' and attention quieted down Congress quietly passed legislation exempting themselves from such future scrutiny.
"But on Monday, when the president signed a bill reversing big pieces of the law, the emailed announcement was
one sentence long. There was no fanfare last week either, when the Senate and then the House passed the bill in largely empty chambers using a fast-track procedure known as unanimous consent."
- The legislation simply made it almost IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to get any financial information of federal politicians (Congress) now, effectively HIDING all of their still on-going Insider Trading and illegal financial activity. The only way to get that information now is to go to the BASEMENT OFFICE of the Cannon House Office Building and personally request that information through a tedious process. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY NOW. Oh, and NONE of the politicians caught ILLEGALLY engaging in Insider Trading were ever held accountable / charge with a crime because 'they didn't know all the US laws apply to them'.
'SO WHAT' CASE 2:
- Holder Perjury, 1sy Atty General To Be Censured
Eric Holder was caught 3 times for Felony Perjury in testimony before Congress, and the DOJ and Obama administration REFUSED to appropriately press charges and hold Holder Accountable. (A completely UNANIMOUS BI-PARTISAN Congress still voted to Censure Holder for his crimes, making the ONLY US Atty General to EVER be Censured in US history ... even though they all agree he should have gone to jail.
...and you bring up the story of Dennis Hassert being found guilt of a crime....WHY?! Because you are tryint go impress us with the fact that Republicans do bad things, as if the Democrats have any moral high ground to stand on? To prove POLITICIANS break the law? If THAT'S your point / intent, to that I say
'DUH!' Otherwise this was a waste of time / board-space...
