Sen. Warren Requests Formal Investigation About Why The Obama Administration Did Not Prosecute Wall Street

Sen. Elizabeth Warren addresses the American Constitution Society 2016 National Convention on June 9, 2016, in Washington. Warren is rumored to be a potential running mate for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

In a letter sent Thursday to Michael E. Horowitz, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, Warren said her staff had found that members of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) had referred 25 cases to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. None of those referrals were pursued.

“The Department has failed to hold the individuals and companies... accountable,” Warren wrote. “This failure requires an explanation.” Warren also wrote to the head of the FBI, James Comey, and asked him to release records of FBI investigations into financial misdeeds in the wake of the crisis, to further illuminate why the Obama administration decided not to prosecute firms linked to the financial crisis.​

Savage.

Warren is a sellout just trying to get her progressive street cred back.
You shouldn't drink that phonies koolaid, it's full of bitter lies.

Just more scapegoats while ignoring the major fundamental flaws that led to the problem.

Move along, nothing to see here.

That is not quite true. A number of institutions and individuals have been held responsible. Proof of criminal activity is not easily come by and must be conclusive. But BoA paid quite a sum and Citi's or Aig's owners lost almost their whole investment. Deutsche seems to be discussing another 12 billiin dollar fine just now. But this story plays well for the street, so she is telling it.

More needless demagoguery from Warren.

Ugh.

Dear Senator Warren,

I like you and agree with many of your goals, but you're really not helping anyone right now.

Love,
Cardinal

Well that's reassuring.

I was beginning to think 40-50% of liberals were wanting to jump off a cliff like the Tea Party did.

It's a matter of practicality more than anything. People rowing in the same direction tend to reach their destination quicker.

Practicality is half of the battle against The Tea Party wing of the Republican Party and the Warren wing of the Democratic Party.

Standing next to Mrs Wall Street campaigning should do wonders.

In this case, certainly. Honestly, I had no idea that Warren could lack such fundamental pragmatism until I saw this thread. The timing of this is so hilariously un-pragmatic, in fact, that I have to wonder if there's some important back story we're missing.

Yes I do.
You can't shout from the roof tops how anti big bank you are, then do an about face and endorse the big bank candidate.
The candidate that was blatantly involved in cheating with the primaries, against a progressive candidate.

That's where I "get this."

And not a responsible and reliable news source?

How can you do that?

And BTW

Don't think you know who I am.......or what I think.......... or believe.....

You have no right to try to "pigeon hole" me to meet the needs/requirement of who you think I must be.........

Re: Senator Elizabeth Warren Requests Formal Investigation About Why The Obama Admini

If Warren was a smart as any of her followers seem to think, then why wasn't she asking for a investigation on the oversight committee that sat quietly while Barney Frank and his clowns were forcing lower underwriting standards.

Re: Senator Elizabeth Warren Requests Formal Investigation About Why The Obama Admini

Elizabeth Warren increasingly comes across like some little grandma upset that a friend of hers got more of a social security increase than she did, or that the cable company raised her rates without telling her. She doesn't have the presence to pull off outrage effectively. She becomes too lunatic-ish.

It is strange that the article is dated September and has a photo from her in June captioned still that she is a potential Clinton running mate.

Good question. Maybe she knows something we don't. I could speculate but it would be pure speculation related to Hillary's poor health and lack of energy and I wouldn't want to speculate about her poor health and lack of energy.

:wink2::lol:

You know she would have preferred Bernie Sanders. And endorsing Hillary does not mean she does not want to right the wrong that happened in 2008. Frankly, what politician is more passionate about it?

Tulsi Gabbard and Nina Turner.
People I disagree with, on a lot of things but whom I have deep respect for.
So much so that, if they ran for president, in any capacity I'd vote for them.
Even if I disagreed with most of their platform.

They stood up against the unethical behavior of the DNC.
Warren did not, she's a phony.
