AG orders review of bankers' actions

WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder announced Tuesday he has
instructed federal prosecutors nationwide to review pending financial
fraud cases involving banks and determine whether criminal or civil
charges could be filed against individual officials involved.

The possibility of charges against bank executives — an expansion of
several cases the government brought against banks themselves — came as
Holder was asked during a National Press Club appearance if the
Department of Justice had done enough "to go after both large and small
banks."

Holder said he spoke with the prosecutors in a conference call this
month and told them to re-examine pending investigations assembled as
part of efforts by a federal task force investigating suspected fraud
involving residential mortgage-backed securities.

"I've asked the U.S. attorneys who have made those cases ... to report
back in 90 days with regard to whether or not they think they're going
to be able to successfully bring criminal or civil cases against those
individuals," Holder said.

The review is likely to be wide-ranging and include an examination of
actions by bankers whose institutions agreed to massive settlements with
the government.

Yup, if they broke the law, they should be prosecuted. Of course, they remain
innocent and all that, like the kid in Ferguson.

The kid in Ferguson was resisting arrest and assaulting a law
enforcement officer. Let's not let the facts get in the way of a
good rant however.

I guess better late than never. I am not sure what the statute of
limitations is for criminal prosecution but I bet it is too late for a
civil case.


I don't really see much happening with this. It's too bad the
banksters/wallstreet crooks weren't prosecuted years ago.

How fast do you suppose that Republican controlled congress is going
to confirm a new AG now that Holder has announced this move?

Depends on how dishonest the nominee is.
