Car Czar "settled" charges of bribery

Postby kiryan » Thu Oct 14, 2010 2:35 pm

Imagine if this had been anyone in the bush whitehouse and haliburton.

Financier Steven Rattner, former head of the government’s rescue of the auto industry, has settled securities charges against him stemming from a bribery scheme that predated his time in office.

Rattner, a major bankroller of Democratic campaigns, will pay a fine of more than $5 million and accept a multi-year ban from involvement with the securities industry, under a settlement to be announced Thursday by the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a report by the New York Times. He faces more fines but likely no jail time under a separate investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

Yes, imagine. Oh wait, there were plenty of scandals under Bush and no one created a thread about 5 meaningless topics a day attempting to villify the other side.

Yet another Obama administration crony. Another example of your typical corrupt politics and corrupted politicians, not alone, but particularly present in the Democrat party and the Obama administration. I almost agree with Rahm's move to GTFO and go back to detroit.
