Accepted by those who Could End it and now just considered "the Norm". We Used to be Outraged...but in spite of Our Demands/Directives there is Still No Acoountabilty...no Changes from this F'd Up Congress!
So, "they all do it" is just the new status quo for the Powerful and Well Moneyed!.

No one will rock the boat because they are all expecting to nab a lucrative job after they leave office. No investigation, no oversight, no regulations, no laws, no indictments, no anti-monopoly action, will ever come between a politician and his future earnings.

If they play ball the right way.
And we have become so accustom to it no one even thinks about it anymore.

for Mr. Holder to go before the finance committee to do some explaining as a "citizen" along with Davis and others, if there's evidence saying what they did was against the law-----------then they should explain themselves --------------------bribery is bribery.
And if this was happening while they were in office, there has to be logs on these meetings---------somewhere.

This reminds me of how Donald Trump a "real estate " investor has the ability to not pay any taxes on his income, because there is a law from the 1970's that states that he and any "realtors" can have all of these buildings that are worth millions in value, but he and other realtors can show a loss by depreciation on the land buildings, you name it , so he and the realtors write it off as losses and pay no taxes----they effectively earn no income.

And this is what the wall street crowd and banks have been doing, they pay a fine for what they have been doing for years on mortgages and they get to write it off as a loss on there taxes, because they were part of the Justice Department deal, SEC deal:
