...his full military records, something he promised back in the fall of 2004 or so, wasn't it?
Oh, yes, I trust these fellows just as much as I do Barack Obama to unite America, be post-racial, be beyond partisan politics and, let's see, deliver on whatever else he's promised.
But these are just coincidences. Certainly the Senator wouldn't pillow-talk her husband into buying 10 million shares of CBRE just before she offered $25 billion to CBRE's benefactor.
That would be insider trading, and certainly she has more respect for the rule of law than that.

See this and relize this crap is wrong, they claim to hate the rich, but yet they allow THIER Reps to use thier office to steal and cheat their way to fortune, even stealing from the very voters electing them? And they wonder why we cant understand them?
if anyone is interested - the oversight reports (SIGTARP) can be found here. The opening paragraph of the second report is an eye opener.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) now includes 12 separate, but often interrelated, programs involving Government and private funds of up to almost $3 trillion— roughly the equivalent of last year’s entire Federal budget. From programs involving large capital infusions into hundreds of banks and other financial institutions, to a mortgage modification program designed to modify millions of mortgages, to public private partnerships purchasing “toxic” assets from banks using tremendous leverage provided by Government loans or guarantees, TARP has evolved into a program of unprecedented scope, scale, and complexity. Before the American people and their representatives in Congress can meaningfully evaluate the effectiveness of this historic program, that scope and scale must be placed into proper context, and the complexity must be made understandable. That is what this report attempts to do.
I love to help the helpless but I'm not gonna help the clueless ~Dennis Miller
ALL government programs are vulnerable to fraud. After all, they are written by lawyers, aren't they? When money like what they threw down in TARP gets thrown into the process, every crook in the loop can get his/her piece (Case-in-Point... Feinstein (Dem/CA) and her husband - getting fed dollars for his real estate co).
. . .they've come out of a Democrat-controlled Congress, supported by fake Republicans and conservatives, and championed by the biggest current political joke imaginable, he who resides in the White House.
LA Times article from today, Crimes Suspected in 20 Bailout Cases: http://www.latimes.com
I suspect that crimes involved in the financial bailouts are too many to ever be found out and prosecuted. As a reminder from last year, here's possibly one of the first ones: How Chuck Schumer Caused the Second Largest Bank Failure in US History: http://www.cnbc.com/id/25654303
. . .they should: This is much worse than the purported Halliburton misspending and other contractors' misspending in Iraq.
Of course, just the like you no longer hear of the daily American-military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, as we did every hour on the hour when Bush was president, we won't hear about this, will we?
Come to think of it, we don't hear of those deaths because we're not longer at war with terrorists, are we?
Yes. A no-brainer. Government programs are by definition frauds.
