No Wonder That No Banksters Were Ever Prosecuted

It now becomes clear that our most recent AG was to prosecuting the banksters, what it would have been to have put Joaquín Guzmán in charge of the DEA.

Eric Holder has gone back to work for his old firm, the white-collar defense heavyweight Covington & Burling. The former attorney general decided against going for a judgeship, saying he's not ready for the ivory tower yet. "I want to be a player," he told the National Law Journal, one would have to say ominously.

Anyone left to wonder why the DOJ never successfully prosecuted a single banker? Why nobody went to prison for fraud? When the S&L crisis almost wrecked the economy, over a thousand bankers were convicted of various crimes.

This time around, zip point shit.

Thanks for nothing, Eric.
