Senate probes SEC for stonewalling

August 20, 2007 -  Here they go again! This time they are "circling the wagons" around their insider buddies, and hiding how they punished "whistleblowers" & then called off investigations into some of the most corrupt, slimy, greedy insider-trading, rip-offs that ever walked the planet.

And these are the guys that are supposed to be looking out for your interests? Come on, people... isn't there something wrong with this picture?  

The defense lawyers for the slimeballs being investigated put a little pressure on the SEC, called in a few favors, and the SEC folded up like a cheap suit (...which they weren't wearing, by the way.  I'm betting they had on some expensive threads!). 

And don't think that there aren't a few Senators sharing drinks down at the high-priced Washington bars with these noodniks after the hearings, either. You'd be surprised (or maybe not... I wasn't).
