(32,324 posts)The Democrats held both houses of Congress from Jan 2007 on.
And on January 2009, they got a President who had the "D" brand label to back them.
And that President appointed Holder, to head up Justice.
Holder has been there for quite a while, yet I can't name one big time CEO or COO of a major bank who has spent time in jail. Not even when it was revealed that a bank had laundered tens of billions of dollars of drug cartel money. Holder even proclaimed a new doctrine, "Too Big To Jail."
Although it is true that the Dems lost the House in 2010, they certainly didn't suddenly drop the ball on cases prosecuting the banks, as it is the role of the Justice Department to do that.
And FWIW - The illustration on the Rolling Stone article's page explains it all very very clearly.
