Related: About this forumPapantonio: DOJ Says Some Banks Too Big To Jail
The following video is from the March 24th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV (freespeech.org/ringoffire.) According to the Justice Department, the banks that crippled our economy are simply too big and too important to prosecute. Even with all of the evidence of how they stole from investors, defrauded the government, and illegally foreclosed on millions of homes, Eric Holder says they are untouchable. Mike Papantonio discusses Holder's ridiculous claim with investigative journalist Brad Friedman (www.bradblog.com.)

(5,610 posts)Both r&d's (our democratic socialist Senator seems to not belong to this group) obey the oligarchs (thank you Thom) yet we do nothing to stop it...we should all be in the streets protesting.
Who does not know that "our" Armed forces are tasked with protecting the opium fields in Afghanistan?
There is nothing more that I can think of that would make the majority of Americans stand up in protest...
IF "our" politicians capped the amount of money an individual can earn (much like they used to with real progressive taxation), then paid protesters would be filling the streets...
Damn it, Please, let's act and demand a change to the status quo. It will only get worse and we have children who must survive and not as slaves to the elite oligarchs.

(8,219 posts)Because Holder is a crook.
Didn't Holder defend some of the worst of the worst Wall Street and corporate miscreants before he became AG? I could research it, can't remember, but he does not have clean hands.
Where's the remedy for 'we the people' in all of this?
Guess that was just some throw-away line uttered by Obama. Don't pay it no mind.
