'Sheriff of Wall Street' Says 'People Are Right' About System Being Rigged

[Triana]

This election year has exposed widespread voter anger directed at Wall Street, and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara agrees that "to an extent, people are right about the system being rigged."

"I think people have a right...given the track record of this office and other offices of exposing fraud, to be worried about that," Bharara told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.

That track record of rooting out fraud has earned Bharara the nickname "Sheriff of Wall Street," but he has also set his sights on the corruption plaguing New York's state capital. Since taking office, he's prosecuted cases against more than a dozen state officeholders.

"We have found that corruption is rife in a lot of institutions in New York and throughout New York. That's true in the legislature," he said. "It's also the case that there's corruption, we believe, in the executive branches as well. And we'll ferret it out wherever we find it."

1. Should be like shooting fish in a bowl with a 12 gauge shotgun!

There is so much fraud since their whole business model is fraud. As for the legislatures, there is so much quid pro quo going on you could just arrest them all and be ok!

6. This is a topic every Democrat should agree with. It's not political, its economic in nature.

I hope other Hillary supporters will agree.
