Will Lynch Change Holder’s Love Affair With Wall Street?

[GoLeft TV]

Those of us who follow the activities of the Attorney General of the United States were overjoyed when former AG Eric Holder announced that he would be vacating his office as soon as a replacement could be found. But in their rush to find a replacement, the Obama administration once again turned to a corporate attorney who has plenty of experience representing Wall Street – rather than an attorney that spent her career fighting for average citizens.

How will Loretta Lynch be any different than Eric Holder?

1. Don't fine the bank; put the perps in prison and stripe them of all personal assets...

Fining the banks does jack. Having the perps in prison for 20 and their families in homeless shelters would send a real message to wall street

2. Currently she seems to be prosecuting FIFA/Soccer. That out to make her a Fearless

Defender of those who have suffered from betting on soccer games. Just sad. So many prosecution possibilities...but the Hispanic folk in FIFA get the first draw of blood. Doesn't sound promising, IMO.

7. The investigation has been going on for years, Lynch has been in office for a few weeks....

....no matter who was Attorney General under which President, those charges would have been filed.

And what do "Hispanic folk" have to do with this at all??????????????????

[libdem4life]

9. Yeah, right. Did you happen to notice any of the Last Names? And this is the best

she could do coming out of the chute, so to speak? So many investigations, one must choose. Flame away, her first choice stinks.

[George II]

13. I guess you haven't been watching....this isn't her first choice, she's been very busy.

[libdem4life]

15. Well, let's just say it's the first Big Deal...had they had the audacity to use the same tactics

on the Bankers...they'd be behind bars. This is penny ante stuff in comparison. Brings up our old memories of Jack Webb. Cash in paper bags, then stick it to the Europeans. too...this is exciting.

And yes, I've been watching, thanks.

3. no she won't go after the banks.

[msongs]

4. she does what her boss tells her to do. nt

5. Wait for the Obama defenders in 3,2,1

I cannot support another corporate Democrat for these reasons. At some point we have to take a leap of faith and put our support behind someone who truly wants to get our Democracy back on the right track. I know SCOTUS is important, but consider this, how many national level politicians with a proven track record that backs up what they are for will run for POTUS next time? None! How many will want to push for Publicly Funded Elections to help stop the corruption of our politics? None! These guys/gals don't grow on trees! Hillary will govern much like Obama and do some good things, but when it comes down to what Wall Street, NSA/CIA/FBI and the MIC want, we will get the short end of the stick!

[George II]

8. So you're going to support a "corporate" republican?

[BrotherIvan]

16. It's not a binary choice

False premises come from a dishonest stance.

[Dustlawyer]

18. If Bernie Sanders says he was Communist I would vote

For him. No, no Republican s of any stripe for me. I will vote for a corporate Democrat vs. Any Republican.

[George II]

6. Who knows, expecially since there's a mistaken assumption that Holder HAD...

...a love affair with Wall Street.

[Enthusiast]

10. My guess would be no.

President Obama will decide on the priorities.

[zeemike]

11. No, things will continue as they have.

There is no change possible as long as the money is flowing.

[George II]

14. Billions in FIFA bribes, money laundering, etc, and you say the money is flowing?

[zeemike]

17. Yes I said the money is flowing.

And it is the flow that you don't see that is the problem.
Wall Street and big banks have gotten away with it for decades now...and no one has gone to jail...but prove me wrong when they prosecute them.

[maindawg]

12. Yes

She just broke up the FIFA cartel. That took balls. Can you imagine? She took the job last week, and then she had to ok this op. That day. This woman does not care who you are. She is the man. Jamie should move t France.

[Unknown Beatle]

19. None of them will move to another country.

Their arrogance is astounding. They truly feel they're above the law because they have DC and judges, including some from the SCOTUS, in their back pocket. Barack and Jamie are golfing buddies, and if that doesn't send a message, nothing will.
