His work: Expressing concern for Wall Street Executives and CEOs et. al., to the point that he just got too scared to schedule them a date with Lady Justice. Apparently, Mr. Breuer is himself not a very good match for Miss Justice and she needs to kick him to the curb. I double diggity dog dare the lying piece of sh*t, (did I say that?) Mr. Breuer to come after me. Call him at the number provided and tell him and his staff how YOU feel.
Peace. lmsp

(151 posts)2. He looks like both an ass kisser
and a mafia frontman at the same time.
quite a balancing act to straddle.
I wouldn't trust lanny breuer with my trash.
But the truth is that Valerie Jarrett, Obama's former Chief of staff. was a Citigroup hack (sat on board) and folks like Lanny are there only to help Justice (eric holder ass kisser) prevent valerie who helped fund much of Obama's 2 campaigns from looking like she is not serving her masters.
let's just assume , obama is as far up the ass of wallstreet bankers as he can get without seeming covered in a strangely bad smelling lubricant.
Why don't the americans rise up?
