Spitzer to Eric Holder: Prosecute Goldman or Quit

Since Eric Holder seems to be lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, I don’t have much hope for Spitzer’s call to action, but it is gratifying to see someone calling out the Administration’s appalling lapses.

Ok folks... I found this at Democratic Underground... I found this video on youtube but was unable to copy the link, so I am hoping the link listed below will help... Remember I am still new at these things so this may not work... Personally I don't think Eric Holder will do a Damned Thing.... What are you thoughts???


Ok this will work, however you will need to copy the link below and paste it to your browser... Preferably in a new window, well that's what I did... Good Luck, hope to hear your thoughts and views.... =)

      You're welcomed kb723. I love current and the informative stories. I especially like the responses. Sometimes I want to respond but my responses don't seem to be as intelligent as a lot of them so I read, enjoy and absorb the info. Thank you all,even the negative folks which are few.I just consider the source and ignore it.

    • Though this would be nice to see, Holder is not someone I hold out too much hope for to do the right thing, especially when it comes to Wall Street. Obama has surrounded himself with several Wall Street protectors and Holder certainly is one of them. The Dodd-Frank bill was not given the power to rein in the worst criminals on Wall Street from doing their same dirty dealings, I don't think Lloyd Blankfein is losing any sleep tonight.

      I Too am sure Lloyd Blankfein is sleeping like a Baby... I too have very little hope that anything will be done. I do however plan for someone to hold BO's feet to the Fire... He cannot just think another four years will just be handed to him... Good to see you scooter3282, hope you and yours are doing well..... =)

      KB723, ever since the creation of the Federal Reserve, which was nothing less than the coming together of the banking families akin to the formation of the Mafia, they have ruled this country with the same type of iron fist. Only when FDR was in the early years of his stay in the WH did they take more of a back seat. But when WWII broke out, they once again rose to the throne and called the shots anew and slowly contributed to the creation of the MIC. They have their own cabal and will not give up their power without a bloody fight. Who will be the one to take up the fight? That still remains to be seen.

    • Money rules in Washington. Nothing will be done until that changes...and by the way, that will not change. No one voted into office will ever do anything to stop the free-flowing trough of money in that town.

      You won't know that is true until you refuse to vote for someone, like Obama, who has proven himself willing to sell himself, and the voters who put him into office, to the highest bidder.

      I truly believe if we stand up, in unison, to the politicians, like Obama, who are destroying our country, it will send a message to the rest of the Democratic Party politicians who promise one thing, and deliver another--or deliver nothing at all.

      That message will be: either get with the program, fulfill your promises, or get the hell out of town.

      Obama's not destroying our country. He saved it from a deep depression. I will never vote republican. Obama has my vote.The republicans want to destroy our country. Look at Ryan's budget. More tax cuts for the rich. Death panel for seniors.

    • If only Spitzer had had a foot fetish, he'd still be a viable political contender: he was a fabulous AG for NY and would have been a fabulous governor...

      We were expecting Spitzer to move onto the national stage and make a run for POTUS: he made it to the national stage alright, but not in the kind of limelight we had hoped for...have a great evening and a better tomorrow.

    • takes a brave soul to go on air & call out the dragon... CNN just went up a notch in my opinion. Spitzer & Taibbi are second to none.

    • P.S.,,, Most of Wall Street should be prosecuted, or, punished harshly without prosecution!

      The problem is, I believe, that most people don't have a clue of HOW MUCH Congress has helped corporatocracy steal from us over the past few decades, If folks really had an idea that they have been stealing trillions of dollars, and continue to as we read this, then, they might rise up in, and with, shock and awe.

      Sadly the state of humanity is beyound saveing with elections. Do you know who Goldman Sacks is ??? Very close with the people who are the power people. They do not crash for anyone. They are the deciders. They decide who will crash. God help us all.

    • Spitzer does show some spine here calling for Holder to prosecute Goldman Sachs. His investigations as Guv of NY was what lead to his being taken down in very suspicious manner (the sex scandal). Matt Taibbi has done some of the best investigative work on the Wall Street criminals for Rolling Stone and has provided much of the needed groundwork for any prosecutorial moves on the biggest players in the financial sector. Holder would never resign and probably won't lift a finger against these guys, because he has worked for these guys his entire law career. It is good to at least shine the light on this and I give Carl Levin much credit for being the lead guy on this in the Congress.

    • Yeah, wouldn't you love to be able to drop out of the limelight for three months and still make the kind of money that he makes. We lose our jobs for letting a fart. I would love to see an hour by hour account of what these guys do to earn their money. You usually can tell when someone is cracking down, because all of the sudden they are stepping up to the plate to justify their jobs. The irony of the whole thing is that the IRS is all about keeping us legal, but all these "Wanker Bankers" just robbed the county and walk away. Crock-O-Shit.

      IMAGINE MONEY IS ONLY ONE OF THIER TOOLS . NOT THIER END GOAL. JUST THINK OF THAT EVERY TIME YOU HEAR OF CORRUPTION SEEMINGLY MOTIVATED BY MONEY. THEN THINK BEYOND THE MONEY. THE MONEY IS JUST PART OF THE MECHANISM OF HOW THEY GET HUMANS TO WORK AGAINST EACH OTHER. AND KILL EACH OTHER . Sorry about yelling. I love you . Please listen. Lets get around thier smoke screens. They know the money is empty paper fiat. We are only bound to it by the contract law they put on us . We can live only if we find ways to feed ourselves and defend ourselves from thier con game contracts. They are not the productive people . We are the productive people. We can isolate them and let them die in thier emptiness.

    • And why isn't Obama telling Holder to prosecute Goldman Sachs?

      Why have we not heard that Obama ordered Holder to investigate Scalia and Thomas for judicial impropriety yet?

      Does he think that if he looks the other way that we'll just forget about this these Supreme Court Criminals?

      Please email Obama and demand he take action now!

      COMMONSENSEFORCOMMONGOOD_COM. I agree with all that you have stated... I am Happy to post this here with hopes that this info can be shared... The more we know the harder it is for BO to seek another four years without stepping up to the plate, and not just think he has already Won...

      He's had three years to Pander to the right... I see BO as a great Chess player and feel he has laid the groundwork for four more years, but "We The People" need to be sure he will pander to the working class this time around... And to be Honest, he still has NOT convinced Me......

    • Yes, why in the fuck has this not happened? I'll tell you why, the American people wan't justice but you'll only get it at the small end of things, in your neighborhoods for selling marijuana or buying it. Running a red light, stealing a pack of gum, what a bunch of stooges we have become!

      So right km,,,it is increasingly obvious that if the people want justice in this country, then we must administer it ourselves! At this point, nearly everyone in government is guilty of treason against the people, betrayal of their country, malfeasance and wholesale corruption! Most of those in government deserve the very worst punishment possible, and in a lingeringly painful manner!
