Elizabeth Warren Confronts Eric Holder, Ben Bernanke And Mary Jo White On Too-Big-To-Jail

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Elizabeth Warren is one of the few Senators out there pushing to understand why the federal government has created an untouchable class of criminals in America that can do whatever they want whenever they want and, not only get away with it, but also get bailed out when they make mistakes.  In case you missed it, I highlighted a powerful video a few months ago in which she made regulators squirm when confronted on “too big to jail.”  Now she has written a letter to Ben Bernanke, Eric Holder and Mary Jo White.  My favorite line is:

“If large financial institutions can break the law and accumulate millions in profits and, if they get caught, settle by paying out of those profits, they do not have much incentive to follow the law.”

Indeed, which is why they don’t.  Full letter embedded below.

"Seems to me that a lot of the commentators here today like the salty taste they get on their lips when pissing into a very strong wind."

I like the nice almond smell I get in my nose from hydrogen cyanide!

Elizabeth Warren right near the top of my list of people who can be trusted to do the right thing.

WTF? Either you did a very poor job of compiling people for your list, or you clearly have one hell of a twisted idea regarding the meaning of "the right thing."

All you need is a couple of people to join to get a movement going.  It's in-your-face lawlessness going on right now. They have their own agenda which supersedes the US constitution. Those enforcing these criminals took an oath to uphold the constitution, guess it doesn't matter to these people either.

Well, maybe Americans should fight in-your-face lawlessness with in-your-face lawlessness...

I like Warren a lot. I have a T-shirt from sending her $25 -I don't pay attention to what she says on Israel, Obamacare or whatever  -to me she is a role player  -she is dynamite on bankster fraud and protecting the average American. She is visible and will be effective  -she would never have been elected and never could be effective in what she does if she took on AIPAC, foreign policy and Obamacare. Let her appease the socialist liberals in the People's Republic of Massachussetts  -they're a lost cause anyway- I LOVE HER FOR HAVING THE GUTS TO TAKE ON WALL STREET- she gives me hope -she is articulate and intelligent - Bill Black is a liberal on other issues too  -I don't care. I like him for being an effective voice against fraud and the Banksters  -same for Matt Taiibbi  -he's liberal- Don't like it, but I appreciate what he does that is right.

Elizabeth for President! Yes she may give billions to poor folks in liberal welfare programs that won't work  -but at least we can then hold her and her policies accountable and throw her out.  BUT- she wont give one dime to the Banksters

 -would you rather give a trillion a year to the Banksters or low class Americans? Give it to the Banksters and you'll never get the scoundrels out of power  -they'll own our congress-forever-and bribe them into setting up the police state and Fema camps, so that if we ever try to get them out, they could put all OF US TROUBLEMAKERS IN THE GULAGS - if we try to cut off funds for the low class Americans, we can always stop them with our well armed neighborhood citizens militia groups. As the crime watch director in my town, I am well armed and ready for the angry mobs that my try to invade my neighborhood. I am not at all equipped to defend myseld against Homeland Security attack drones--we're working on that.

Look, I do not particularly like many of her views, but...she has a point here. When the Fuuck are we going to stop allowing the Big Banks to get free money, leverage it, short our sound money, let Ben continue to allow this and have Jaime continue to tell to tell us fuck off, he is richer and knows how to take free money and make more and not give it to us. Let the bitch open em up. We dont have to make her a hero or even take another one of her points to heart just this one. I give her a C+ and at least trying to stop the thievery.

That supposes she has an ounce of real power, or that she'd ever be permitted to do any real harm. They'll let her do some peripheral damage, got to make it look good, bit of financial blood-'n-gore for for the 6 o'clock news show. But actually, she'll do nothing at all of any consequence, and all the sheep will think she's just great. But you'll still be pork chop in a banksters debt farm. Nothing has changed.

You just got played by a pro.

Here's Bernanke's analysis: the financial elite own the financial institutions and have their money invested and deposited in them. Moreover, the politicians also have their money invested in and deposited in these same financial institutions. Since I work for, and answer to, these people, I will not do anything which would harm their net worths.

Stop expecting ideological purity. Ron Paul is one in a million, and it will be a long time before we see another like him.  If I were King, I would use Warren to help destroy the death grip of the TBTF banks and afterwards I'd mail her commie butt to some diplomatic post in Khazikstan. That's the way you get things done.

The Office Of The Comptroller of the Currency is a crooked regulatory organization whose Comptrollers used to brag that the Comptroller's office cost taxpayers nothing, fees from financial institutions the OCC regulalted funded the OCC's budget of about $400 million when John Dugan was the Comptroller.  A cheap enough price for the banks, the OCC has provided national banks immunity  from most State oversight since 2003.  File a credit card complaint with the OCC and their consumer office iwill send all your information to the credit card company you complained about and then close the OCC file.  A clear violation of the Federal Privacy Act, but the OCC is above the law.  Treasury's Inspector General ignores complaints about the OCC.  The OCC Comptroller is probably laughing his head off at Senator Warren's letter, considering her letter and the Senator as a laugh riot.

Anybody can get up on their media soapbox and spout platitudes, but until I see one or more criminal banksters like Dimon, Corzine, Blankfein, or even Bernanke being led out in hand-cuffs and frog marched off to prison like Madoff, then I'll start believing in hope and change.

It's pretty easy to bear down upon so low level apparatchik Comptroller, another matter all together to start demanding an audit of the Federal Reserve, or demanding records of all the shenanigans going on since TARP.

There isn't anyone commenting here who hasn't lied or did something stupid in their lives.

Regardless what her other views are, if she stands by this one at least it is one senator who is bucking the trend of the rest of them.  I have to give her credit for that.

As far as marxism is concerned, what the hell do you thing is happening now?  And it ain't Warren's doing but a couple of Presidents who rubber stamped idiotic and treasonous legislation which proves to me they are not looking after the people who voted them in.

The inherent weakness in the democratic system of government prevailing today will ensure that not only the too big to fail banks get away with all the illegal activities they indulge in but also continue to become more and more powerful while the majority of the population goes through great financial hardships.

 

llusion of Democracy today.


People sponsored by the rich, make false promises to the masses to get elected. Distribute national wealth amongst themselves and their sponsors (Industrialists) and when that is not enough borrow money from rest of the world and continue the distribution process. The borrowed money has to be paid back by taxing the masses keeping in mind that tax rules are made such that the politicians and their sponsors pay minimum or no taxes.

End of political tenure, rinse and repeat till the whole system breaks down and the world wealth is cornered by a miniscule of the population.

What a load of patronising bull$hit. The sting is in the tail, the last paragraph.

Get off your knees, Warren. 

I am interested in more aggressive action, not merely questioning the failed bureaucrats, and their puppet masters - you included.

Jail 'em. Don't bail 'em. You are paid to do a job. Do it. Stop blathering and colluding with the thieves, liars, banksters.

CONgress has become a cosy club, a talking club, schmoozing the innocent, and serving the cynical. Prove me wrong.

"Bigger boys made them do it - is that the defense?"

no. no defense of anything.

mine was the observation that the powers that be love an environment in which no one can have 'credibility' because there will always be a way to find fault and discredit whomever would oppose whatever. this effectively removes any possibility to fix any problem, for example, tbtf.

the tptb can rely on an ad hominid arena to circus the public to 'this fault, that fault' discussion about the any who speak, destroying support with no regard as to the merit of which was spoken.

as an opposition to that tactic, when someone puts out an idea i like, i support them for that and try not to get lost in the never-ending murkiness of discussions of ad hominid one for all and all for one attack tactics.

"And she will fail if she persists with this nonsense of bail 'em, don't jail 'em."

i believe she was saying "jail them, don't bail them' and that "bail 'em, don't jail 'em" is a misinterpretation on your part.

Even Mike, who I like and respect, and who is a patriot, forgets to put his attention on a corrupt Congress, but rather shines light on an apparently better-case individual -- 1 of 535 -- and forgets to not expect 1 of 535 to have influence over the Fed, Bankers, MIC, et al...

I'm not sure from where the collective disconnect comes... but all ye intelligent and energetic people are missing the gift-horse-of-blame-and-responsibility and skating right by a defunct Congress, and having more fun poking at the higher criminals -- sort of like a tabloid mentality, which serves... no one.

Giving the collective body of Congress a pass is the single greatest mistake of our time, and there likely will be no opportunity for a do-over.

So many of the comments here suggest a majority of children that don't have the perspective (via putting in time living) to understand just what is about to happen. Congress will be dead. The President will be dead. The "Supreme" court will be dead. And Wall Street criminals (those that iniitallly escape) will be scattered to the four corners of Earth, cowering and praying that nobody recognizes them or comes to understand why they have so much money. There has never been anything quite like what is about to happen in a country of People that own over 300 million guns and that has had every hope for their future stolen by psychopaths. There is no precedent. What is about to happen will be worse than any known event and worse than anything We can imagine--myself included.

The "game" is just about over. And for those of you who are too young to seriously entertain the extent of the problem, just be thankful that you were young enough to enjoy the last few years of ignorance and assumption...

Warren's a criminal (practiced law in Massachusetts courts w/o credentials). She's also a race hustler (false claims of Cherokee heritage to gain advantage). Topping it off, she's a radical socialist (claims to be the intellectual author of the Occupooers). Speaking as someone who ought to be in jail and not in the Senate, she lacks authority on any moral question. She hates Wall Street, yes, but only as a part of her general hatred of capitalism and anything involving corporations. Warren's presence in the Senate somehow demeans that body (and here I was thinking it couldn't possible get any worse!). WTF is up with you, Massachusetts? You sure know how to pick 'em!

either stand up and make yourself known in real life or support the slightly-less-crooked-get-a-vote-for-saying-what-others-won't-people who are pushing for incremental change. elizabeth warren is probably just a safety release valve, like ron paul, but the fact that people like you who understand what is going on and will not in anyway support someone pushing in the same direction as what you claim to believe leaves little hope the unwashed masses will ever stray from their entitlement, the state will protect me, tv mesemerized zombie asses, until they learn the true definition of tyranny.

That's me dudes. Next Tuesday night. I'll see if I can locate the interview I have with the daughter (or relative...I can't remember) of the Judge that was supposed to rule that corporations have the rights of individuals.

Elizabeth Warren is one of the few Senators out there pushing to understand why the federal government has created an untouchable class of criminals in America that can do whatever they want whenever they want and, not only get away with it, but also get bailed out when they make mistakes.
_______________________________

The Federal government did that? The Federal government is one among the cogs and wheels of the 'american' system to achieve the 'american' system of justice (aka injustice).

'Americans' went long and hard on the King's judicial system as structurally, one person was out of the judicial system: the King himself.

As such, the King's judicial system could not contend to be just, but only to serve the King's vision of injustice.

It was a fair point. Evidences showed that the King could not try himself, even though everyone else could be subjected to the King's justice.

'Americans' came with the angle that noone should be out of the reach of a system of justice and that everyone should be tried in order to get leverage over the King.

'Americans' are duplicitous. That story was just a cover to promote their own judicial system.

From the start, it was not about bringing a system of justice but to snatch the King's priviledge to distribute it among themselves.

The result is that from a system where one man was out of reach, you've got the 'american' system where many are out of reach.

Pointing the federal government is 'american' propaganda. Featuring a number of people out of the reach of the judicial system is constitutive of 'americanism'.

This is what 'americans' fought for to impose on humanity.

But hey, 'americans' do what they can do, and this is always the 'american' thing.

Fictional actions that never happen are always under estimated.

New horse to be ridden by AnAnonymists so they can laugh their way to the bank.

Reality is not renewed like that, at every whim by some people.

Facts never grow old. Only propaganda does.

AnAnon HAS to be...like his country. A Collective. Every post smells a little different ( but, alas, still of a roadside smell)
Weeks of silence...then BAM, 5 inches of test.

You need to post more often.

very true. I know you get many votes down for the ‘blobbing up’isms but American duplicity has indeed been a serious problem returning upon the aggressors who stole a large swath of land from the real indigenous people of the land – no justice for them.

The term “terrorism” defined by The Dept of Homeland Security means any activity that—

(A) involves an act that—

(i) is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and

(ii) is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States; and

(B) appears to be intended—

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.

 

Dear Tylers,

The continued use of MSM language to define the partial reset known as the bailouts is an extreme abuse of honesty and disservice to all.

"the federal government has created an untouchable class of criminals in America that can do whatever they want whenever they want and, not only get away with it, but also get bailed out when they make mistakes."

Every deadbeat depositor with more than 100K of funds in our insolvent banks were the direct beneficiaries of the bailout. The outraged Santelli's and apologists like to pretend this is not so by redirecting the focus onto sub-prime, the banksters and GSE's but nevertheless  it is an error to succumb to their Cog Diss.

Is there any doubt that by our own definition the banksters are not just criminals but also terrorists?

edit.

I would add that if ever there has been an obvious false flag attack upon the people of this nation with the cooperation of our Government the Financial Crisis of 2008 is the least discussed and most verifiable of them all.

This article makes by blood boil.  Lizzy "two feathers" Warren is a fraud and she should be jailed.  She is asking people who should also be jailed for abuse of power or downright criminal behavior...

uuuuuuuuuugggggghhhh !!!

so prove her a fraud and have her jailed.

In the meantime give her the presumption of doubt, of innocent until guilty, as elected senator let her do her job.

At least she ain't scared of the TBTF clique. That's more can be said of the other congress members.

Its too easy to cry "fraud" when you have no real legal bullets to shoot with. 

Why don't you reason like your head was breathing fresh air instead of some other humongous noxious vapour cloud?

uuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhh!

She is a good hearted woman who is gullible and does not understand the monetary system. She is about to wake the fuck up.

Watching a Democrat take any step toward realising that a Constitutional Republic is superior to a Democracy is good to see.

The Fed could not have been started in our Republic. The country had to be tweaked towards Democracy by narcissists like Woodrow Wilson and FDR.

Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders are hard to hate. They are trying to help the people, the problem is they don't understand that government does more help by doing LESS and letting people thrive without intervention and taxation without representation.

The current regime in DC is more similar to the Rule of King George in 1768 than the Rule of the Republic that was founded shortly thereafter.

She is in the Hornets nest and it's hard for her to have any perspective on reality.

I'm no liberal, but I have a lot of respect for her asking this question. The real test now is will she continue... because no one else is speaking up or asking this and other questions.

Putting pressure on special interest is always good for future campaign contributions and other favors. She will be bought and paid for soon enough just like her fellow politicians that are obviously, not trying to advance any of her thoughts, arguments, or findings....

Isn't this what Communism is?  The powerful few able to transcend any law or consequences.  At least somebody is asking the right questions from the other side.

no, you’re thinking of monarchy, oligarchy and fascism. Communism is the theoretical idea everyone can be made uniformly equal in ability and benefits from society. Slightly different. That particular style of crash ‘n’ burn doesn’t create an elite class, it’s more of a poverty slam-down for everyone but the controllers (relatively) rather than merely existing to steal (warlords, monarchy, oligarchs, feudalism). Americans appear to be taught very wrong things in schools about what “communism” is.

And the POTUS also just said that heaven and earth should be moved to defend against leaks ( see:AP) yet jack shit should be done to defend actual humans in danger ( see:Benghazi)
Oh, and we need to lend moar support to the Syrian "rebel" zombie cannibal forces.

He really said very little, yet volumes unspoken.

These are great days, brothers and sisters.

It's pretty obvious from the degree of vitriol in some of the remarks here (the repeated use of the word "cunt," for example) that some of the opposition to Warren is pure misogyny. Certain ZH'ers aren't happy with political leaders unless they have dicks. It's strange in a Freudian way I don't even want to explore.

If Elizabeth Warren learns too much about the banking system and the Fed she may end up becoming a Libertarian Truther Stacker Birther Clinger Prepper Fringe Lunatic!

Give her a break, we might watch a Libtard convert into a Constitution loving Anti Federalist before our very eyes.

After all, the main difference between todays 'Liberal' and a Libertarian is the ability to learn and see the big picture.

The more she learns, the better off everyone is. She will learn that her Dem freinds inside the beltway that do understand the bankster scams are in on 'em.

She will then marry Ron Paul and move to Uruguay.

What Liberal used to mean:

 

1. a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties

2. a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets

 

 

Now in 2013 this is what it means.

 

1.Indulge in Executive order abuse when Republicans are pesky (Constitutional)

2. Drone attacks, regime changes and Wars are now approved by the U.N. instead of congress

3. Monetary policy based on whatever and Bernanke says 

4. Immunity for Monsanto who is now in charge of USDA and FDA

5. Continue 'OperationBlame Bush for Everything'

6. If public doesn't want to cooperate with a Health Care for profit paradigm that ignores prevention and nutrition, force them to pay a tax.

7. Schedule Wine tasting(Clinton) or extra marital affair(Petraeus) to avoid testimonies about weapons trafficking cover ups (Benghazi).

8. Use dead children to push gun control agendas.
