Heavens to Betsy. Sen. Elizabeth Warren leapt from the gate of her
first term pummeling Ben Bernanke on too-big-to-fail financial
institutions. Then she demanded to know why American banks were never
brought to trial. Finally, last Thursday, looking for all the world like
a school principal called to sort out teenage hooligans, she
queried regulators as to why HSBC bankers who launder money for drug lords and terrorists should go free. Quoth the senator:
"If you're caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances
are good you're going to jail. If it happens repeatedly, you may go to
jail for the rest of your life. But evidently, if you launder nearly a
billion dollars for drug cartels and violate our international
sanctions, your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your
own bed at night.”
Game on! Naturally, the left is swooning.
