A Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report says that despite all their rhetoric, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder didn't go after any Wall Street bank honchos due to cronyism and political 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.”
Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday.
