Banker Literally Applauds Elizabeth Warren At Senate Hearing

Somebody remarked about the earlier post that it was an older story… and we relied, “Yes, we’re aware… but isn’t it nice to re-post and irritate the banks?!” Doesn’t it make this next post even more exciting?

Eliz Warren 2-13-15WASHINGTON — Bank regulators and executives typically hope to escape a Senate Banking Committee hearing without becoming the subject of a viral video showing them humiliated at the hands of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

Elizabeth Warren Blasts Regulators For Protecting Banks

Elizabeth-Warren2“The Fed messed with the wrong senator…” posted David Dayen on Salon.  Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) grilled federal officials about illegal bank foreclosures at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Thursday.

Super Hero Schneiderman Kicked Out of Club for Standing Up for America

The time has come to rattle the cages of our Attorneys General, our Governors, our Congressional Representatives and State Legislators.SUPER SCHNEIDERMAN We need to tell them that we support New York’s Attorney General Schneiderman! The one true Super Hero, Eric T. Schneiderman, AG of the great state of New York understands the vast amount of fraud that is associated with securitization.

Schneiderman is not willing to fall in the Obama line dance and allow the banks to get off nearly scot-free for ALL of the wrongs, frauds, abuses and Ponzi scheming that they’ve done. The fearless leader has been outspoken because he knows, just like his predecessor, Elliot Spritzer, that these banks have committed crimes that surpass any “get out of jail” free pardons the failed Obama administration might be willing to give.

The Women Who Left Obama

Obama plans to announce the nomination formally on Monday, the White House said Sunday. Republicans immediately threatened to block Cordray’s Senate confirmation.

Especially after she came out on Friday and stated that the investigations into the bankster foreclosure fraud was not sufficient.

Does President Obama really think America is that dumb?  Continue reading
