A Mortgage Investigation

There are reasons to be wary. Some of the federal officials who will also be involved with the investigation — including Eric Holder Jr., the United States attorney general, and Lanny Breuer, the leader of the Justice Department’s criminal division , who will be a co-chairman — have not distinguished themselves in the pursuit of mortgage fraud.       

i have neva met edul ahmad  nor do i want to meet him

but how the hell can he be charged when goldman sachs did not even get a slap on the wrist

To win and retain public trust, both the administration and all the group’s co-chairmen — there are also four other officials from the Justice Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service — must agree on several steps immediately.       

The administration must ensure that the group has ample resources. The co-chairmen must hire a tough-as-nails prosecutor with a successful track record in financial fraud to drive the investigation forward. And the group must move quickly and vigorously, issuing subpoenas and filing cases. It is not starting from scratch; various agencies have all had separate investigations under way.

President Obama’s credibility is on the line. To restore public faith in the financial system, nothing less than a full investigation and full accountability will do.       

i am certainly not saying the RH guys did nothing wrong  but its a crying shame that goldman sachs gots the people's money and also got off scott free
