Attorney General Eric Holder declared Monday that no banks are too big to be prosecuted if they engage in criminal activity, while another law enforcement official said a pair of cases against major banks may culminate in guilty pleas in the near future.

"There is no such thing as 'too big to jail," Holder declared in a weekly video message. "No individual or company, no matter how large or how profitable, is above the law."

FWIW ...

1. Then why hasn't there been hundreds of fraud indictments?

[FreakinDJ]

15. All "Lip-Service" and No Indictments

Hate to say it - but this administration is big on lip service

[closeupready]

2. lol - there's a 'do what I say, not what I do' joke here somewhere.

Give me a minute...

3. Hear you loud and clear

But....I'm still waiting.

4. I chuckled as I watched it ....

Maybe the democratic party and Hillary know they can't win without making a few heads roll ... ?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. Elaction year bait. MAKE the Republicans publicly defend the crooks.

[Orsino]

6. Just too big to be investigated. n/t

[Supersedeas]

13. and we bailed the usurers out for what exactly -where is the American people's bailout?

He is the Attorney General for all of the people -- where is the justice for us?

[JoeyT]

7. It's just taken six years to figure out how to fit them in there?

If the banks had spent all this time fucking over the rich and powerful to the extent they've fucked over the middle class and poor, he'd have them all in prison by now. He's not fooling anyone.

[SwankyXomb]

8. Of course not

He just had to wait for the statute of limitations on the earlier frauds to expire.

9. They must be getting pressure from Hillary ...

If they don't prosecute they know they'll lose big next time and they don't want to be out of power ....

We'll see ... There isn't a single corporation in this country that isn't set up to replace any and all CEOs ... they're all expendable ...

If Jamie Dimon were to slip in the shower tomorrow the disease would go merrily on without him ...

Pass the soap ... ~

12. What's taking so long?

[oneofthe99]

14. What a joke this attorney general has become

Obama should have canned his ass long ago

[NorthCarolina]

20. He probably would can him, immediately, if he ever attempted legal action

against big banks or Wall St. criminality. I'm sure Holder is proceeding precisely as directed by the administration.

[DeSwiss]

16. What an asshole.

- He was for it after he was against it.

"I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy. And I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large." Eric Holder, The Hill

17. I'd laugh, if I weren't so outraged

Given Mr. Holder's inaction over the last six years, his words ring hollow.

[yurbud]

18. "and I am confident my replacement will do just that. "

[blkmusclmachine]

19. Deeds, and not just words.

Show me what you DO, and I'll tell you what you really BELIEVE

Good one Eric!

You almost had me but then I remembered your record.
Keep the jokes coming, lord knows you have no convictions for us.

[Kablooie]

23. Trying to burn your pants off yourself, eh Holdy?
