The majority of Americans can care less about this stuff. It was not part of there brainwashing.
The people in charge are the ones who brought our economy down. This country needs a reset. Are you ready for it? I have been waiting for several years. Problem is the sheep just keep voting the crooks back in office.
Since everyone for the most has the premise that both parties are full of cronyism, why do you Sheep continue to bicker with one another on issues that are in place to keep us divided?
The SEC is allowed only to bring knives to gunfights. Wall Street bias or not, it doesn't matter with a weak SEC.
State Attorney Generals are more fearsome than the SEC.
Seems like a good choice, her represntation of financial firms is just a small part of her history, terrorists, mafia, Clintons pardon of Rich, Donald Trump, not really what you would call a typical financial insider.
So who would be your choice for head of the SEC, someone with no financial litigation on their resume?
Quote:
Mary Jo White, President Obama's nominee to lead the SEC, has a been involved with a plethora of high-profile legal cases.
She's locked up infamous terrorists, prosecuted and defended white-collar criminals, and run politically-sensitive investigations.
We've delved into her legal history to present the ten highest-profile cases that Mary Jo White has ever been involved with, both as a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney.
A caveat: White didn't actually 'litigate' many of these cases. As her former colleague Patrick Cotter notes, "U.S. Attorneys are the Generals of the army; they’re not the combat soldiers."
But by all accounts, White has an incredibly keen and strategic legal mind, and was quite hands-on in cases that she oversaw – one of the reasons she was the President's top choice to run the SEC.

Weh one loks at trial lawyers i crtiminal lawyer that are defense attorney's the best are most often lawyers that have been prosecutors when startig out. Why;because its the best experience that they can get on just how the law really works verus the little o trial law they elarn in law school. There is a reson you want people with varied experience to represent you i curt and not someone who has basically settlwe most case with little trial experience in big cases.Mnay lawyers rarelt ever see the inside of a opcurt room and their record and experience does matter.Its really hard for most public enities to get the most experience and best attorney to work at artes they earn. A exmple is Switzer who wo alot of fraud cases against wall street;but look closel reveals wne to trial one time and that case he loss. Others wehre settled as often they see payig the fine easlier that the damage of a long drawnout wait to trial.She seems a good choice to represent the people.
I was shocked when I heard that Mary Jo White, a former U.S. Attorney and a partner for the white-shoe Wall Street defense firm Debevoise and Plimpton, had been named the new head of the SEC.
I thought to myself: Couldn't they have found someone who wasn't a key figure in one of the most notorious scandals to hit the SEC in the past two decades? And couldn't they have found someone who isn't a perfect symbol of the revolving-door culture under which regulators go soft on suspected Wall Street criminals, knowing they have million-dollar jobs waiting for them at hotshot defense firms as long as they play nice with the banks while still in office.
The SEC is as corrupt as ever anyhow.
I think Lynn sums it up quite nicely:
Quote:
The systematic lack of regulation has left even the country's top regulators frustrated. Lynn Turner, a former chief accountant for the SEC, laughs darkly at the idea that the criminal justice system is broken when it comes to Wall Street. "I think you've got a wrong assumption — that we even have a law-enforcement agency when it comes to Wall Street," he says.
Another sign for you Sheep who seem to think Obama and the left are not in bed with Wall Street like the rest of the Government elite.
This lady has an impeccable record of prosecuting criminals like John Gotti, but her most recent work is from her law firm where she defended Wall St. Executives. Keep in mind, not one Wall St. executive went to jail for fraud during the crash of 2008. JP Morgan Exec Jamie Dimon said White is the 'perfect choice' for SEC Chief....LOL!!
Translation: Thank God Obama elected one of our own.
Very solid point, look at the beginning of this thread a couple of partisans jumped and pointed the finger at the other side. You are right the people are divided and conquered much to the banksters delight. What the partisans from either side close their eyes too is the banksters control both parties,look at the Bush administration {banksters in key positions} look at Obama he surrounded himself with the banksters.
The point in pasting this is to show that it is not one side that is doing it. Wall Street Banksters rotate between the government and Wall Street and nothing is being done about it.
There are a lot of people on Wall Street and DC that need to be brought up on financial terrorism charges for the damage they have done and continue to do this country.
Here we are, 4 years later, the To Big To Fail still exist and have not been broken up.
The same Financial Criminals are still in charge with no changes in laws to prosecute them nor to protect American's from their traitorous, thieving schemes that they plot against everyone.
