Try and keep up, I've said any number of times Congress is owned by special interests, on both sides of the aisle. We'll see prosecutions of their owners right after pigs start flying to the slaughter house on their own.

So when your side complains for 3+ years about how evil they are and now have the "goods" on G-S, you don't find it hypocritical of them to allow them to skate?
And your entire reasoning is because the other side got campaign funds too?

What are you?
About 12 years old?
Get a clue, American ploitics is loaded with hypocrites, your bias apparently prevents you from seeing it.
They're all full of crap, my only hope is preventing another ChickenHawk from inhabiting the White House.
Why aren't you whining about the RW hypocrites who allege they favor "less government, less spending" yet grow government and spend like drunken sailors whenever it suits their agenda? It's far beyond campaign funds, take a look sometime at the administration of that great RW hero Raygun and how many in his administration were pardoned by Bush I to prevent prosecutiuons.
DC is a cesspool and has been for quite some time, you're naivete is truly amazing.
Four years ago, employees of New York-based Goldman gave three-fourths of their campaign donations to Democratic candidates and committees, including presidential nominee Barack Obama. This time, they’re showering 70 percent of their contributions on Republicans.
beyond campaign donations: conflict of interest of DOJ's "top cops"
Connect the dots and follow the chronyism behind the money. (Clue, this is why Holder & Breuer will also never be held accountable for Operation Fast & Furious. Look at the big banks as money launderers for the Mexican drug cartels....feeding the campaign donations.)
GAI argues that the Obama administration’s decision to not go after Big Finance is due to senior DOJ leadership — Holder, Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli, Associate Attorney General Tony West, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, Deputy Attorney General James Cole and Deputy Associate Attorney General Karol Mason — who “all came to the DOJ from prestigious white-collar defense firms where they represented the very financial institutions the DOJ is supposed to investigate.”
The report details how Holder and Breuer both came to the DOJ from Covington & Burling, a “top-tier Washington law firm” with a client list that includes financial firms like Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, CitiBank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, ING, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Wilmington Trust.
Those wondering why the Department of Justice has refused to go after Jon Corzine for the vaporization of $1.6 billion in MF Global client funds need look no further than the documents uncovered by the Government Accountability Institute that reveal that the now-defunct MF Global was a client of Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer’s former law firm, Covington & Burling.
There’s more.
Records also reveal that MF Global’s trustee for the Chapter 11 bankruptcy retained as its general bankruptcy counsel Morrison & Foerester--the very law firm from which Associate Attorney General Tony West came to DOJ.
