(32,324 posts)Not actually reading the posts people put up, just their headers, Over the last year, "Sixty Minutes" spent a whole segment of its hour laying out the case against some of the criminals who headed various mortgage firms. The thing is, the whistle blowers in the firms involved had impeccable evidence agaisnt the Top Honchos at the frims. But SEC and or Justice kept saying, Oh but we don't know where we would get evidence against these people, as a reply.
That is the technique that is known as the [font color=red]big lie. [/font color=red] You have people who are elbowing the officials at SEC and at DOJ, saying here is a signed statement that would be direct evidence of the criminal behavior, direct and totally able to provide ability to convict, because the evidence is the necessary documents are signed by the culpable individual(s).
So if you want, it is probably on line and you can watch it. "Sixty Minutes" carefully laid out the situation - and it shows that there was no WILL or INTENT at either the SEC or DOJ to do anything about the financial criminal behavior.
