The media silence is deafening. Senator Chris Dodd Chairman D-CT Senate Banking Committee, Rep Barney Frank D-MA chairman House Finance Committee, first need to resign then be investigated for corruption. Both of these gilded clowns took millions of dollars from financial institutions (Bear Stearns, Merryl Lynch, Lehman Bros, Countrywide, to name a few) and when there were questions being raised over three years ago regarding improprieties at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, calls for an investigation were turned down by both of these individuals. They are guilty of taking bribes in my opinion and need to be investigated and if found guilty jailed and stripped of their pensions and any other benefits attained while serving in Congress.
