Foreclosure fraud investigators forced out at ( Fla.) attorney general's office.

A lead foreclosure fraud investigator for the state said she and a colleague were forced to resign from the Florida attorney general's office, unexpectedly ending their nearly yearlong pursuit to hold law firms and banks accountable.

Former Assistant Attorney General Theresa Edwards and colleague June Clarkson had been investigating the state's so-called "foreclosure mills," uncovering evidence of legal malpractice that also implicated banks and loan serv­icers.

Despite positive performance evaluations, Edwards said the two were told during a meeting with their supervisor in late May to give up their jobs voluntarily or be let go. Edwards said no reason was given for the move.

1. Republicons drove them from their jobs?
To protect their mortgage ghoul cronies (R) ?

Probably. Republicon Family Cesspool Values. As usual.

2. Mr. 27% Strikes again.
He's got to be behind this, I'm sure of that.

3. Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly buys politicians.
Obviously, Florida wants to look at the future, not the past.

Fucking thieves!

4. Could be a blessing in disguise..
As attorneys in private practice going after foreclosure fraud, they wouldn't be working on a fixed salary. :evilgrin:
