It's the only way the bankers go to jail. The only way.

They will be 2 years away from immunity in 2016. Two years. You need to spend at least $100 million to take them down, too.

The only person who can do would be the President ordering their AG to get it done. Obama, unfortunately, is not that President. Clinton, probably, is not that President (she'd be more inclined to send Bush to the Hague than go after bankers).

Only Warren, Sanders, or Reich would do it.

And odds are the bankers still win.
