I'll give you a rather detailed lesson in how it really goes down.
Arlen Specter wouldn't help us for the longest time. It seems, after he got cancer, he found religion, and now he is a standout in trying to clean things up, along with Grassley of Iowa.
Everytime he did anything at all thru the Judiciary Committee, Dodd, Shelby (R, BTW) and Schumer would say, "that belongs over here. Bring it to "Banking". Where of course, it would die a slow death. They tried to squelch Aguirre, but it didn't work. They still pull the same shit.
Now, Dodd gets caught taking favorable loans, and he says he didn't know. Are you telling me the Chair of Banking did not know you paid points with a mortgage? Now, he's from Connecticut (duh), go look for his donors, and what do you see?
Get bought. Stay bought. That's where the arrogance comes in. they never thought payday would arrive. It's here. And more is a comin'.
And btw. The Congress doesn't want an investigation, because they are afreaid of what it will find. It will find 'everybody'. I know some of you guys think this is great fun. But I don't like getting fucked. I'll go against anybody one on one. But this crap has got to stop.
