I just read the whole article.

How the hell did she miss those hearings? She couldn't go to the press and say - Hey - I Have critical information and for some reason no one is paying attention. Maybe they just don't know I exist?

The problem with Matt Taibbi's piece... [View all] ProSense Nov 2014 OP

She probably believed Eric Holder CanonRay Nov 2014 #1

Not to mention Ed Meese KamaAina Nov 2014 #137

They all belong the AG Hall of Fame. Or shame. Enthusiast Nov 2014 #186

In total agreement JustAnotherGen Nov 2014 #2

Yeah, she was so upset. Comes out just in time to set the mood for 2016. freshwest Nov 2014 #114

You are right - the story DOES prove why it needs to be there JustAnotherGen Nov 2014 #118

I've read that she and Bill disputed the repeal of Glass-Stegall. And found this: freshwest Nov 2014 #119

Ohhhhh - I really like that JustAnotherGen Nov 2014 #120

I think they spell it 'principal' as if it's loan amount or a school official. freshwest Nov 2014 #158

We blame President Obama, er, truedelphi Nov 2014 #151

Attack the victim - TBF Nov 2014 #3

Well, you can't be a good "centrist" and attack the *banks," for Heaven's Sake! villager Nov 2014 #5

And the other thing is that the witness came out 2 and a half years ago - truedelphi Nov 2014 #156

Yup... joeybee12 Nov 2014 #6

Not to mention the fact that TBF Nov 2014 #9

Exactly, I'd leave this country to speak out in her position, too Warpy Nov 2014 #54

Ask a question. ProSense Nov 2014 #7

This is corruption and your TBF Nov 2014 #11

Where in the OP is there a "defense" of "corruption"? ProSense Nov 2014 #12

You didn't read the article did you. SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #17

Did you? ProSense Nov 2014 #20

Yeah twice and what you posted confirms I'm right... SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #25

You know ProSense Nov 2014 #33

You know... you are right... SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #46

OK, I read this post. ProSense Nov 2014 #49

It makes perfect sense to anyone who SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #51

This is the entire purpose of your ProSense Nov 2014 #56

+1 You nailed it. Enthusiast Nov 2014 #187

If you aren't attacking the victim, then what is the point of your OP? rhett o rick Nov 2014 #64

Post 4 and 48 seem to understood the point you missed. n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #65

I think it is fair question. Raine1967 Nov 2014 #45

"and yes the timing is heart-breaking (missing the Warren Hearings)" ProSense Nov 2014 #10

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^n/t truedelphi Nov 2014 #152

You couldn't get farther than five paragraphs before finding a "problem" with the whistleblower. Marr Nov 2014 #8

The problem is the timing. ProSense Nov 2014 #14

I would think you'd cheer the timing. A day after the election. Marr Nov 2014 #26

You think the timing a day after the election is good? ProSense Nov 2014 #28

Yes, Obama's DOJ should've brought her into the hearings instead of sweeping Marr Nov 2014 #41

No, the problem is that she makes Obama look bad mindwalker_i Nov 2014 #67

If she had come out during the Warren hearings, would that have made him look good? n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #69

Then you'd find something else to to nitpick mindwalker_i Nov 2014 #70

Would you have been happier had this come out then? n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #71

Now you want it to be about me? mindwalker_i Nov 2014 #72

Really? SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #13

Has this changed? ProSense Nov 2014 #15

It wouldn't have made a difference. SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #18

This is about the Warren hearings. ProSense Nov 2014 #22

No I'm saying no one in your beloved Obama administration gave enough of a shit SomethingFishy Nov 2014 #29

See comment 48 ProSense Nov 2014 #52

She had interviews with the U.S. attorney's office in 2012 she gave them Autumn Nov 2014 #165

Just want to say I haven't missed you elias49 Nov 2014 #16

I love you too, and I don't even know you. n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #24

Why is the problem with Taibbi? He's just reporting. Cleita Nov 2014 #19

It's a short thread title. Clearly, the point is about the timing. n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #21

A whistle blower coming forward under a gag order Autumn Nov 2014 #23

Here's what I read: ProSense Nov 2014 #27

I wish she has come out then too, but I understand why she didn't. Dimon is a powerful man Autumn Nov 2014 #31

Thanks, and good comment. n/t ProSense Nov 2014 #43

It would have been nice but the facts are coming out now and better late than never. pa28 Nov 2014 #53

Just a guess, but I think the OP is passive aggressively trying to impugn KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #60

If that's true it's a tactic I've seen on this site many times before. pa28 Nov 2014 #62

The bottom line for me here is that there is NO PROBLEM with KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #66

Yes. And based on the low number of recs, SMC22307 Nov 2014 #169

I noticed that, but that is not Taibbi's problem he is just reporting on the issue. Rex Nov 2014 #57

A better question is why didn't The Intercept want this story? randome Nov 2014 #58

First, this story wouldn't have appeared on The Intercept. Hissyspit Nov 2014 #63

Unless this story was written in 15 minutes, it was written for Racket. randome Nov 2014 #68

Why wouldn't Omidyar want the story published? Major Hogwash Nov 2014 #107
