Heard at Work while Stumpf was getting grilled: "It's like a daily lynch mob on banks anymore."

Yeah . . . an exec at my work said this.



Well . . . yeah . . . executive guy . . . . the minor inconvenience of having to testify in front of a dog-and-pony-sho . . . er . . . Congressional Committee is kind of what happens when you commit fraud, destroy public trust in financial institutions, fire thousands of low-paid workers for doing what you told them to do and all you get is "away with it".

All Republican Trump Supporter Stumpf gets is a relative slap on the wrist, as does his company.


Oh, and the low paid associates remain fired. Not ONE executive gets touched. NOT ONE EXECUTIVE EVER PAYS ANY KIND OF PRICE EVER.

"lynch mob on banks" . . .

"Most wounds are self-inflicted" .

Mr. Stumpf wouldn't be there if he and his organization did not make a rather large "Oooooopppsie"

But comparing their plight to a lynching is incredibly tone deaf.

Not ONE executive taken to task.

Yesterday, the oversight committee demanded that Stumpfy resign. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.

The woman in charge of this chicanery gets to walk away with $125 million in compensation AND she's still due for a bonus at the end of the year.

How is this a punishment?
