passing along a lie, i.e., the SoL has run on prosecuting the banks. And you, after years of having the press passing along lies to you, suddenly are insufficiently curious about the information they gave you. Why is that?

I have provided you with countering factual information (including a link to the fact), and you persist. If you do not want to believe me, and were sufficiently curious, a quick google would/will provide you with about a quarter century of "interpretations" of the law.

That the SoL on Fraud involving Financial Institutions is 10 years is clear and settled law.

That's a different situation, I think, than interpreting laws. I'd think they'd call an expert and get an opinion.

No Manny ... Why would they, or you, seek an expert opinion now? It supports the anti-Holder (and by extension, the anti-President Obama) narrative that you wish to promote here.
