Whistle...*




Fleischmann is a tall, thin, quick-witted securities lawyer in her late thirties, with long blond hair, .......... has survived some very tough times. She's had to struggle to find work despite some striking skills and qualifications, a common symptom of a not-so-common condition called being a whistle-blower.
Fleischmann is the central witness in one of the biggest cases of white-collar crime in American history, possessing secrets that JPMorgan Chase paid $9 billion to keep the public from hearing the truth.

she reviewed loans and flagged many as “stated income unreasonable for profession”; In one case in 2006, managers marked 33 percent loans in a loan sample under this category, but were effectively overturned by executive. Yet the bank continued to “sell...high-risk loans as low-risk securities,” despite the fact that doing so would be fraud.

Fleischmann was laid off in 2008. She was under a confidentiality agreement with Chase, but she did have the ability to report crimes. So she put her trust in the federal government, which was tasked with overseeing and punishing the sort of fraud she witnessed.
Not an easy road. Just a thought.

Pardon me...?

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Marcus Sanford Patmon, 45, of Miami, was arrested outside a Starbucks in Arlington, Virginia, after a police license plate reader indicated that his parked vehicle had been reported as stolen.

A police spokeswoman, told NBC Washington that Patmon "wanted to meet with Eric Holder" because "he was looking to be pardoned by the Obama administration before the Trump administration came in."    

According to the FBI, Patmon pleaded guilty in 2009 to attempted wire fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property for trafficking in two stolen Pablo Picasso etchings and a stolen Marc Chagall lithograph  together worth well more than a half-million dollars.

California art dealer, to whom Patmon tried to sell the Picassos, smelled something fishy and contacted authorities, and the FBI soon had an undercover agent on the case.

When authorities searched Patmon's Miami home, they found one of the Picassos, a 1957 etching of a woman reading a book called "Jacqueline Lisant," hidden behind the sofa. Patmon later confessed, according to an FBI affidavit. He served 2 years.

One problem (besides the stolen car): Eric Holder is no longer the attorney general. 

Circus...

Add the Media to this mix and you got the Circus. The Media wants to fill the air with anything. Confirmed, unconfirmed, it doesn't matter, give credit to themselves for their success that I don't see. Politician want to say something, their Names become as famous as they can. So they oppose anything, comment on anything, just be in the picture.

I  Hate You All Graphic

British security services MI5 reportedly identified a British hip-hop artist as the key suspect in the hunt for the killer of American journalist James Foley.
The Sunday Times newspaper said Abdel Bary, from West London, had become a crucial part of the investigation. “senior government sources.”

Bary, 23, is the son of an Egyptian-born militant who is awaiting trial on terror charges in New York tied to the deadly 1998 bombings of embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

The Islamic State carried out what American officials called its first “terrorist attack” against the U.S., meaning the killing of American journalist James Foley.

U.S. intelligence and military officials have begun collecting geographic information about current Islamic State strongholds and leadership positions inside Syria, CNN reported. The Obama administration has been hinting about Syrian intervention since.

For those who participate in terrorism, and their families, parents, brothers, sisters etc. who supported them, didn't report their fanatic activities, should be held responsible, stripped from citizenship and sent back to where they came from.

Just a thought.

Van Susteren left Fox News in September after 14 years, saying the network had “not felt like home” for a few years. She left right after former CEO Roger Ailes left after former host Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.

Van Susteren broke the news the day Fox News agreed to settle with Carlson for $20 million.
At MSNBC, Van Susteren will host For the Record With Greta at 6PM ET. The network hopes her show will “bridge the gap between daytime and primetime.” The network stated:

“I’m thrilled to start my next chapter at MSNBC, the network is the right destination for the smart news and analysis I hope to deliver every day, and I look forward to joining the talented journalists and analysts I respect there.”

Megyn Kelly




Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, released a statement about Megyn Kelly’s departure from Fox News. “We thank Megyn Kelly for her 12 years of contributions to FOX News,” the statement read. "We hope she enjoys tremendous success in her career and wish her and her family all the best.” The network also announced that Kelly will be hosting The Kelly File through Friday, January 6.

The usual default answer (money) does not appear to apply here. Kelly had a generous offer to stay -- $25 million to stay, although depending on the reports, that figure may have materialized late in the Fox negotiation. But either $20 or $25 million -- almost certainly much less at NBC

NBC said it had agreed to a “multi-year agreement,” with Kelly, whom they described as “one of America’s most prominent news anchors.”   Just a thought.
