DOJ Will Not Pursue Criminal Case Against Goldman Sachs

DOJ Will Not Pursue Criminal Case Against Goldman Sachs

Obama’s relationship with Goldman Sachs has been a closely intertwined one. The following Goldman Sachs people have either worked for or are currently working for Obama’s administration:

William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve of New York, is a managing director and partner of Goldman Sachs;

Gary Gensler, chairman of Commodity Future’s Commission, spent 18 years at Goldman Sachs;

Mark Peterson, chief of staff to Treasury

Secretary Timothy Geithner, is a former lobbyist for Goldman Sachs;

Philip Murphy, nominated for ambassador to Germany, is a former Goldman executive; and

Diana Farrell, Deputy Director to the National Economic Council, was formerly with Goldman Sachs.

These are just a few of the many Goldman Sachs associates who can be found in the Obama administration.

This announcement just happened to come out just a day or two after stories in the media were saying that Golman Sachs was flipping it's campaign donations to Romney too.

Hmmmmmm??? Interesting timing isn't it?

I talk about this news in this thread:

Obama = HOLLOW man

Default No surprise

Goldman-Sachs pays both parties handsomely and expects the occasional "consideration" in return. And they get it.

Ummmmm....I guess the news that Obama was the biggest reaper of G-S donations before, but they've turned and are now giving it to Romney was lost on you?

And what about the timing? Letting G-S off the hook just "happened" to coincide with the above news.

The fact that Liberals here aren't outraged by this news proves that all their belly-aching and all Obama's TALK about how those evil bankers destroyed our economy was just BLATHER.

You couldn't invent a better example of Liberal hypocrisy than this!!!

Yet they bash Romney for getting donations from Wall Street...

They don't care about anything other than their hero's sense of entitlement to win the election and their sense of entitlement for him to win. They don't even care who they're fighting for.
