Holder - Corzine connection explains lack of prosecution

Wondering why former Goldman Sachs honcho, former New Jersey governor, former frontrunner for Obama's secretary of treasury, former Obama fundraiser, and disgraced MF Global financial scam artist Jon Corzine seems to have evaded the long arm of the law?

Those wondering why the Department of Justice has refused to go after Jon Corzine for the vaporization of $1.6 billion in MF Global client funds need look no further than the documents uncovered by the Government Accountability Institute that reveal that the now-defunct MF Global was a client of Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer’s former law firm, Covington & Burling.

Also providing cover for Corzine may be former FBI director Louis Freeh, recently of the Penn State scandal report.

...the trustee overseeing MF Global’s bankruptcy is former FBI Director Louis Freeh. During Mr. Holder’s 2009 Senate confirmation hearing, Mr. Freeh appeared as a witness testifying on Mr. Holder’s behalf. While Mr. Freeh stated that the two men shared no “social relationship,” the former FBI director praised the legal work Mr. Holder did for him when Mr. Freeh, then the general counsel for MBNA Bank in Wilmington, Del., retained Mr. Holder to represent MBNA Bank. “As general counsel, I could have engaged any lawyer in America to represent our bank,” Mr. Freeh said. “I chose Eric.”

Are your friends and neighbors discussing the Corzine/Obama/Holder/Freeh cabal?  Are they even aware of the MF Global scandal?  Why not?  Many of Corzine's victimized investors are farmers, just like ours here in the Finger Lakes.  And farmer or not, all of us will pass on Obama's debt to our future generations.

Hunter takes 829 pound black bear...

...in New Jersey.

A Morris County deer hunter who shot one of the biggest black bears taken in North America was disappointed.“I would have traded getting two bucks instead of the bear,” said Bruce Headley, 62, of Weldon Road, Milton. Headley’s 829-pound live weight black bear was one of fewer than a dozen over 800 pounds in 35 states and most of Canada.

Corzine? Who's Corzine?

Jet setters Obama, Corzine

Listening to the news yesterday, Finger Lakes taxpayers couldn't avoid hearing about thieving Wall Street tycoon Jon Corzine and his "disappearing" 1.2 billion bucks.  Why, this scheming charlatan personifies the "richest 1% millionaire billionaires" that Obama and his henchmen have been vilifying all year.

We're all suitably outraged, especially after hearing nonstop media coverage all day and evening.  One little detail of the story, however, seems to have been overlooked by the hard working newshounds of the mainstream press.  We listened to the radio all day and did not hear a single word about the fact that Criminal Corzine is a registered Democrat, much less the leading financial adviser to Obama and his administration.  In fact, one must dive 8 paragraphs deep into in to the CBS News story linked above to learn of the New Jersey gangster's political affiliation.

Those ink stained wretches must have a short term memory problem, because only a few weeks ago the very same former governor and senator was in line to be Obama's next secretary of the treasury!

Media tycoons may refresh their memories here and here.

Corzine, Obama, Corruption

Joined at the hip?

"Wall Street" protestors take note:  JammieWearingFool updates us on the close realtionship between former New Jersey Democrat senator, governor and bankrupt billionaire financier Jon Corzine and future one-term president Barry Obama.

It's safe to say these two are joined at the hip, although the way the media is reporting the downfall of Jon Corzine's MF Global, you wouldn't even know Corzine's a Democrat, let alone one of Obama's top campaign honchos.

Then there's the matter of the missing $700 million.  ABC News reports the FBI is looking into the Democrat donor's mishandling of customer funds.

With news that federal regulators, including the FBI, are investigating whether the broker-dealer is missing customer money, the company's failure may have larger repercussions to the financial system.

Do your friends and neighbors have any idea what this means to them?  Their yet-unborn grandchildren will be paying for it.

Tough times for union-friendly billionaire Democrat Jon Corzine.  First he lost his New Jersey governor's seat to Republican Chris Christie, and now he's gone bankrupt.

It looks like Jon Corzine’s love of risk-taking is finally proving to bring him down after his securities fund today filed for bankruptcy protection.

Futures brokerage MF Global Holdings filed after a tentative deal with a buyer fell apart, marking a stunning failure for its 64-year-old CEO.
