46. Democratic leadership refuses to prosecute powerful people. Just think if Govt. worked as hard

investigating and prosecuting Wall Street criminals as they do spying on our emails and text messages.

But, Democratic leadership has made a choice. And that choice is to protect the richest among us, while spying on everyone else and harassing whistle blowers.

Warren has been clear about the need for prosecution, I see no evidence that Democratic Party leadership agrees with her.

And Holder? He has been very good to rich and powerful people. Very good.

Holder should have been removed from his position for ineffectiveness.

Every minute Holder stays in office, it is a message that the rich and powerful are immune from justice.
