Holder says no bank 'too big to indict,' more financial cases coming

96. Well ...

1) When did the 10 year mark start? 2008 or sooner?

That would depend on when the specific defendant, engaged in the specific conduct.

2) Is Holder actually going to do anything substantial? Thus far, he and this administration have not.

I suppose, the answer to that question depends on what one considers "substantial." For many, (it would seem) anything less than convictions of every top bank executive employed during the "melt-down" years, along with life sentences, would be deemed insubstantial.

For me ... I would say "Yes", his securing convictions would be substantial ... after that, it's not up to Holder; it'll be up to the sentencing judge.

3) If Holder is 'building a case', will the next administration drop it in a similar way that Bush had the DoJ basically let Microsoft off the hook on Anti-Trust violations. Or will it be independent of 'politics' and allowed to proceed to meaningful indictments and punishment for those whose crimes led to the 2008 financial crisis?

I guess that will depend on whether a Democrat takes the Whitehouse in 2016; but I would suspect, any case filed in 2014, will have concluded long before 2016 (at least the trial court phase).
