And yet, not a single large bank has had an executive sent to jail. Moral of the story? If you are going to rob someone, steal billions, then it's ok. If you get caught, it's just a cost of doing business. Holder is derelict in his duty and the SEC, CFTC, and other Federal regulatory bodies are missing in action. Lastly, Obama, our Commander in Chief, who swore and oath to faithfully execute his office hasn't done a damned thing to hold these people accountable. Worst administration ever. I thought Bush Jr would go down as the worst President ever. Guess I was wrong. Obama has doubled down on all of Bush's worst policies. OH and just to throw salt in the wound, it's another day an just another verified illegal maneuver conducted by our Dictator in Chief, Obama. ---------- Feds: Obama Broke Law with Bergdahl Swap By Joel Gehrke August 21, 2014 2:57 PM President Obama violated a “clear and unambiguous” law when he released five Guantanamo Bay detainees in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the Government Accountability Office reported Thursday. “[The Department of Defense] violated section 8111 because it did not notify the relevant congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of the transfer,” the GAO report said. “In addition, because DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no money was available for that purpose, DOD violated the Antideficiency Act. The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal agencies from incurring obligations exceeding an amount available in an appropriation.” The GAO rejected the idea that the action was legal and sidestepped the Obama team’s suggestion that the law is unconstitutional. “It is not our role or our practice to determine the constitutionality of duly enacted statutes,” the report says. “In our view, where legislation has been passed by Congress and signed by the President, thereby satisfying the bicameralism and presentment requirements in the Constitution, that legislation is entitled to a heavy presumption in favor of constitutionality.”
