SPECIAL REPORT: Inside The Department Of Justice’s Unprecedented Failure To Prosecute Big Finance

Yesterday I hinted that there would be more this week on cronyism and corruption within the DOJ as it related to Wall Street non-prosecution, and it has arrived.

Here's the (pdf) report from GAI:

Justice Inaction - Department Of Justice’s Unprecedented Failure To Prosecute Big Finance

It's relatively short, and pretty easy reading.  Discussion of MF Global and Jon Corzine begins on page 10 and runs only about 5-6 paragraphs. Here's an embedded version:

Justice Inaction Report

Here are the first 2 stories we've filed on this report:

CONVICTED: Bush 1300+, Clinton 1000+, Obama 0.0

Five Senior Goldman Sachs Execs Gave $130K To 'Obama Victory Fund' WHILE Eric Holder Was Deciding Whether To File Criminal Charges

The Governmental Accountability Institute got it correct in Justice Inaction. Only their subtitle is misleading because the Department of Justice has a long history of not prosecuting financial crimes dating back to the first Secretary of Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, and his sharing of insider information with family and friends. You can read about this and other famous non-prosecutions of financial crime in my latest book, THEFT OF A NATION: WALL STREET LOOTING AND FEDERAL REGULATORY COLLUDING.

Obama & Holder have done nothing. Would Romney & his AG do anything? Would anybody running do anything?

This is a good paper, but it doesn't go far enough in pointing out the mendacity of Holder's DOJ.

At page 15, for example, the paper points out that the DOJ only pursues financial fraud cases against small-time chiselers like grandmothers running unsanctioned bingo parlors.

And yet, at the same time, the DOJ has not pursued ANY cases of notarization fraud in the millions of fraudulent foreclosure lawsuits that have been filed by servicers that have either lost or destroyed the borrowers' promissory notes, which are necessary to establish standing, i.e., legal injury of the plaintiff needed for the court to have jurisdiction over the case.

Why not? Notaries are the lowest criminals on the robo-signing food chain, minimum wage minions who do the bidding of the banksters and their lawyers above them. A case of notary fraud would be an open-and-shut matter. A junior prosecutor with an IQ of 90 or higher could convict notaries by the 100s if not 1000s every month. Did you sign and affix your notary seal swearing to the fact that X was present when in fact X was absent? Boom. Done. Jail.

The DOJ's refusal to pursue these cases exposes the fact that it is not just incompetent (which it most definitely is), but also a criminal enterprise itself. The DOJ is afraid that the discovery process will reveal that the notaries were taking orders from higher ups in the banks, and thus the DOJ avoids these cases like the plague, despite the fact that even a nitwit like Holder could prosecute them successfully.

The U.S. tax payers now own 450 million rounds of hollow-point ammunition, courtesy of the DHS molestation society. If the rest of America feels Jesus smiles on Wall Street looters because they say they are sorry, i should like to point out that the world's #1 catholic, Constantine probably was the inventor of 'universal absolution' because he took 10% off the top. I am not so afflicted with delusions of grandeur as Constantine. Cannon 257 has been burning decent people at the stake and saving the bankers and popes for a thousand years. High time we ended that.

Actually, other than Madoff who screwed mostly people from a certain community, theonly other persons prosecuted were three brown guys and one black guy.

Cheyenne, just to reiterate the point, but you hit the nail on the head. Discovery IS the plague in their minds. Besides, what was the foreclosure "settlement" all about? Makes you want to smack somebody.

Could the need for forensic accountants be growing, there seems to be a general lack or unwillingness to understand the current trends in all facets of society.

NEW YORK (RealMoney) -- The largest transfer of wealth from the public to private sector is about to begin. The federal government will be bulk-selling the massive portfolio of foreclosed homes now owned by HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to private investors -- vulture funds.

These homes, which are now the property of the U.S. government, the U.S. taxpayer, U.S. citizens collectively, are going to be sold to private investor conglomerates at extraordinarily large discounts to real value.

You and I will not be allowed to participate. These investors will come from the private-equity and hedge-fund community, Goldman Sachs(GS_) and its derivatives, as well as foreign sovereign wealth funds that can bring a billion dollars or more to each transaction.

In the process, these investors will instantaneously become the largest improved real estate owners and landlords in the world. The U.S. taxpayer will get pennies on the dollar for these homes and then be allowed to rent them back at market rates

I know for a fact that my former husband Michael R. Figat E.Patchogue & Coram L.I. N.Y. has been involved in mortgage fraud proliferation in both Suffolk County NY all the way to every county in the state of Florida. I know this because when he did it to my own home that I purchased post divorce. I began to study the records in the Suffolk County Center in Riverhead NY. What I found unmistakably was his handwriting on every deed & mortgage filing since 1988.No doubt. Same thing when Iwent online & studied some mortgages/official records through out Fla. which he often visited.
Since filing for divorce in 2000. Each time I would try to go before a corrupt judge here my case would be either denied or dismissed. Cross ref. the judges I was assigned with mortgage satisfactions and found they always corressponde to my court cases. Judge got mortgage sat. my case dismissed.
Same thing with my kids involving traffic summones and all of us in staged car crashes for ins. fraud. Have the documentary proofs.

Is it at all possible to suggest a citizens arrest with any of these people? If so, would it not be possible to find anyone outside of this inner circle to prosecute this crime? Just wondering.

Obama is a World Class Hypocrite! He rails against the evil of Wall Street like he is the savior to all mankind...yet he has done NOTHING! Even that Liberal Bill Clinton had over 1,000 Wall Street Convictions and that Big Bad George Bush, the most Moral Man of the 3, had over 1,300 convictions.

But the Big Mouth in the White House had None. Zero. Nada. Nothing. Ziltch. Crap.

O'vomit is getting ready to exonerate that other thief John Corzine. Amazing how these creeps stay in business with their Scams, Lies, Fraud and other Swindles.

Summary.

The criminal global banking cartel has effected a coup d’etat in the U.S. This is why the same criminal financial elite that saw 1000 of its members go to prison 20 years ago (after the S&L crisis) is now above the law.

To date, the question of why the U.S. Department of Justice has failed to prosecute even one too-big-to-fail bank for the pervasive criminal frauds that drove the multi-trillion-dollar economic meltdown of 2008 has been answered pretty much with shrugs.

By far the most insightful answer was provided by Martin Smith’s breathtaking Untouchables episode, which PBS Frontline aired in January 2013. See http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/fil...

But even Smith’s answer—that the DOJ never truly investigated Wall Street crime due largely to the so-called collateral consequences doctrine—really explains how rather than why prosecutions have been scuttled.

In an effort to pick up where the Untouchables left off in early 2013, BestEvidence presents “The Veneer of Justice in a Kingdom of Crime.” In addition to analyzing events that have occurred since the Untouchables aired (including events caused by the Untouchables), and in an attempt to answer some of the deeply troubling issues raised by Martin Smith, “Veneer" examines certain implications the DOJ's pronouncements, since late 2012, that the rule of law is effectively dead (having been supplanted by the management of oversized global banks).

What follows is a brief American legal history of the executive branch's overthrow by criminal global banks, which is divided into four roughly chronological segments.

I. Background (March 2010 to December 2012)

Goldman Sachs’ legal defenses to fraud—and the DOJ’s adoption of those defenses—are summarized and exposed as false. The DOJ soon admits it refrains from prosecutions not based on any law, but on unspecified collateral effects that prosecutions allegedly would have.

II. Lessons From the Untouchables (January 2013)

Since it won't prosecute Wall Street, the DOJ doesn't even bother conducting investigations. The overriding factor is collateral consequences. Two potential sources for collateral consequences opinions emerge: government regulators and the very financial institutions that have been accused of crimes.

III. The DOJ’s Endless Lies to Conceal Its Master (February 2013 - April 2014)

The DOJ’s claim that government regulators provided opinions on collateral consequences is exposed as a lie. There never were any such regulators. Instead, the DOJ’s sources of collateral consequences opinions are—as the DOJ itself once admitted, before falsely backtracking—the very banks accused of crimes. The collateral consequences doctrine itself is next exposed as a sham, used by global banks to declare immunity from their own crimes—the act of a king.

IV. Presenting the True Sovereign Power in the Executive Branch

The one bank that’s on record as having gained access to a DOJ conference room—where, as the DOJ previously admitted, global banks asserted immunity from their own crimes—is revealed. The true chain of command in the DOJ is presented.
