While the GOP ramps up the rhetoric in support of Financial Reform, the Republican wings of any financial institution is assaulting the charges against Goldman Sachs.
...two Republican members of the Securities and Exchange Commission (click title to entry - thank you) sharply questioned senior investigators last week about whether the evidence they had assembled was strong enough to file a fraud case against Goldman Sachs, according to current and former SEC officials familiar with the matter....
Along with this attack by Republicans over the lawsuit at the SEC, there is this. It took until now to discover this issue and what indeed has been done about it. Besides the 'discovery' is non-specific about the number of instances that these PORN surfing incidence took place and the opportunity it was an error. I also want to know the definition of PORN. Victoria Secret Catalogues accessed during holiday shopping? Maxim? The Bible?
WASHINGTON — Republicans are stepping up their criticism of the Securities and Exchange Commission following reports that senior agency staffers spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were supposed to be policing the nation's financial system.
California Rep. Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said it was "disturbing that high-ranking officials within the SEC were spending more time looking at porn than taking action to help stave off the events that put our nation's economy on the brink of collapse."
He said in a statement Thursday that SEC officials "were preoccupied with other distractions" when they should have been overseeing the growing problems in the financial system.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The memo says 31 of those probes occurred in the 2 1/2 years since the financial system teetered and nearly crashed.
The staffers' behavior violated government-wide ethics rules, it says....
The Republicans are underhanded crooks that chronically seek to dismantle the USA JUSTICE infrastructure rather than seeking its integrity when it serves their purpose. They hate the USA Constitution when it doesn't serve their purpose and 'risks' an assault against their corrupt greed machine.
We have not yet heard from the 'accused' attorneys either. Wasn't there a recent issue regarding someone at Murdoch's network voyeuring? They thought nothing of it. So, let's get down to brass tacks and what 'goes on' when no one is watching including at the GOP.
All this while the GOP of Nevada offers their electorate and the nation 'Health Care for Chicken Feed.'
...Sue Lowden, a Republican Senate hopeful in Nevada,m (click here) has been widely mocked for earlier this week stating that, "before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor, they would say I'll paint your house." "I mean, that's the old days of what people would do to get health care with your doctors," she said. "Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."...
It is Lowden's Sarah Palin moment (Sweet, innocent and that good ole 'female vulnerability to the male. Even a caveman knows more than a woman does. "I'll fetch the wood for the stove. Uggah, uggah." A little bit winky.).
It is an opportunity to be recognized as a sincere Tea Bag supporter. Both she and Gingrich share the same pride for the Tea Baggers, as they basically believe one has to be a moronic extremist in order to gain their support.
The point is that if folks at the SEC are wasting time they were suppose to be working on their own creature pleasures, besides the entire nature of the incidences and whom was actually responsible for allowing them to be accessed at the SEC (Homeland Security Issue) this is a profoundly chronic methodology of Republicans. When they haven't got a chance to 'beat the charges' they attack the 'character/integrity' of those filing the charges.
I am confident the investigators at the SEC that found fraud with Goldman Sachs have reason to do so and the issue of AVAILABILITY of porn through internet access at the SEC is a separate and different issue than Goldman Sachs fraud.
