Meanwhile, not a word of complaint from a single Democrat in Congress, which is especially infuriating given the broad bi-partisan agreement among voters that criminal bankers need to do time. Too concerned with keeping up appearances and the next election cycle, neither side of the false left-right paradigm of American politics is capable of exposing its own filth when it comes to legitimate scandal, and this DOJ non-prosecution madness involving Goldman Sachs certainly qualifies as sordid.
Unfortunately, since it appears to the mainstream media that this is a partisan issue, and Obama is the anointed one, this story will get zero coverage.

Excerpt:
When we think of cronyism and the problems of cronyism and crony capitalism, we think in terms of economic loss and gain, Schweizer said in a phone interview. What were showing here is that cronyism is now permeating our justice system. So, its not just a question of dollars and cents, its a question of whether youre going to face legal jeopardy or not on what youre doing.
The issue of a revolving door people who go in and out of, for instance, the Department of Energy who go work for energy companies then come back to the Department of Energy is always there, Schweizer added. But, were not used to associating the top leadership of the Justice Department with the revolving door. And, I think thats what makes this so troubling because you cant trust them. All their financial interests are tied up with these large firms that do an enormous amount of business with Wall Street.

Yes. I'm sure the SEC also sucked. Obviously we need people who aren't connected to Wall Street
