Elizabeth Warren asks Adj. Gen. Holder, why not investigate the big bankers!
Elizabeth Warren's letter to Adj. Gen. Holder asking him why haven't
the executives of big banks that practiced fraud on the American people even been investigated. It's 14 months between now and Nov. 2014. Going at this rate, Sen. Warren will have fired up enough people to speak up and demand that more progressive and liberal politicians run for office. I believe there are many liberals in pink states who don't run because they feel the chances of winning are too low. Some of them will be encouraged to run, and they will be less timid about sounding progressive, because more Dems. will want them to be so. If anyone can turn things around, Elizabeth can, and will. I wouldn't be too surprised if Democrats should win both houses of Congress in 2014 ! She sure must be sick and tired of all the timidity among the ranks of our Democratic politicians! Go! Warren! Go! http://truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/item/18154-elizabeth-warren-reads-riot-act-to-holder-for-not-prosecuting-big-bank-mortgage-fraud

1. Has she ever praised Holder for any of the things that he IS doing?
January 2012
New Justice Dept. Task Force Issues Subpoenas to 11 Financial Institutions in Expanded Probe Here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002231600 February 24, 2012 article here: http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/02/24/holder-to-wall-street-it-aint-over-yet/
August 2013
JP Morgan Chase (the nation's largest bank) is being investigated by the DOJ over mortgages Here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023424028 Warren is still on my 'shit list' from when she blamed President Obama for the republicans' obstruction of judicial nominations. I know that 'lots' of folks think Warren can do no wrong - but I think she needs to lay off the Democrats and start griping more often about the GOPers ![]() |

2. I must honestly say that I don't know if she had ever praised the Atty Gen. for having done things
right. I think she has integrity enough to speak up against anyone, Republican or Democrat, for
wrong-doing. She has shown time and again that she is deeply involved in trying to prevent the American people from being taken advantage of and being ripped off by the upper 1%. She is one of the few who is not afraid to do so. I can think of two others who are like her: Sen. Sanders and Rep. Grayson. The damage done by the bankers to the nation is one of the biggest cases of corruption and fraud in its history. Millions of ordinary citizens have lost their property and homes and have been rendered destitute. And even today the Republicans are still doing their best to retain the deregulation of business laws begun by Bush, Jr., so that they could continue in their crooked ways. It looks like Elizabeth Warren has no intention of being a doormat, and I say it's high time that someone like her has finally come along. |

4. I notice that the date of the 11 financial institutions being issued
subpoenas was January, 2012, three years after the term of the present Administration had begun. The alleged misdeeds of these institutions had
started during Bush, Jr.'s Administration. I also remember the large numbers of Democrats putting pressure on the present Administration to do something. Then, of course, Obama was preparing to run for his second term, and it would be nice to have something to show. The other 2 items you mentioned took place even later. Recently, Obama, himself, said that if he had been president in the 1980s, he would have been considered to be a moderate Republican. What do you think he was trying to tell us? |

6. I'll admit the banksters did a good job tricking us with Obama, but the truth will out.
The truth always comes out sooner or later. It's like a river finding its way to the sea. |

7. Will the truth out in time enough to still do some good? There are an
awfully large number of people who vote Republican out of sheer
ignorance. They honestly swallow every GOP lie -- hook, line and sinker -- and they vote accordingly. |
