Kucinich Subcommittee Findings Triggered Expanded Enforcement
OPS_admin | Jan 16, 2010 | Comments 0
Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who is Chair of the House Domestic Policy Subcommittee, announced on Wednesday, January 13th, that “the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to file charges against Bank of America (BofA) for its failure to disclose mounting losses at Merrill Lynch was a response to finding made during the Kucinich subcommittee’s 9-month investigation of the merger.”
Kucinich’s Domestic Policy Subcommittee held five joint hearing on the matter with the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Subcommittee investigators found several potential violations of securities laws. On December 10, 2009, the Kucinich subcommittee staff sent a memo to majority members on the Oversight Committee and the Domestic Policy Subcommittee outlining potential legal violations committed in the BofA/Merrill Lynch merger. During the fifth Congressional hearing on the subject, Mr. Robert Khuzami, the Director of the Division of Enforcement at the SEC, agreed that SEC would investigate the potential violations.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
