SEC violations, insider trading was something they never worried about because they new the Jewish firms like Goldman Sachs would be targeted instead because they aimed all their propaganda at them. Much like Israel takes the blame so often, even among progressives, while Bushco and their oil interests and these fundamentalist Christians run amok. That's because these groups use Jews and Israel as propaganda to divert attention from themselves. I thought we were now United States if Israel…It’s hard to keep up these day’s…….Blessings

And what a surprise that their careful screening of applicants gives even more bible-thumping robots a chance to taint the justice system. When Gonzales leaves, the Dems should make sure that the only nominee that gets past them and becomes AG will be one who will not only promise to clean house on this sickening mess, but prove from past history that he or she is just the kind of person to do it.
