Bizarro USA - a Republic of Bananas

Obama financial adviser, former New Jersey governor, and former Goldman Sith Overlord Jon Corzine will not even face charges for about 1 billion dollars that his firm was responsible for making disappear.
A criminal investigation into the collapse of the brokerage firm MF Global and the disappearance of about $1 billion in customer money is now heading into its final stage without charges expected against any top executives.

After 10 months of stitching together evidence on the firm’s demise, criminal investigators are concluding that chaos and porous risk controls at the firm, rather than fraud, allowed the money to disappear, according to people involved in the case.
Funny how people define things.  They use the term "porous risk controls" where people of normal intelligence and understanding of the English language would use pure and blatant theft. 

BUT let's not focus on this, lets focus on the real criminals of our society.  To wit Brittni Colleps:
A former Texas high school English teacher and mother of three is on trial, accused of having sex with five male students.

The evidence against Brittni Colleps, 28, includes cell phone video that allegedly shows group sex between her and four students at her home. Prosecutors say it happened while her children and husband, who is an Army specialist stationed out-of-state, were away. The graphic video was shown to the jury this week.
...
Police say the alleged incident took place at her Arlington, Texas home in April and May of 2011, according to ABC News affiliate WFAA. Since all of the students were 18 at the time of the alleged incident, Colleps is not facing statutory rape charges. Instead, she has been hit with five counts of having an improper relationship with a student.
* Bolding is ours

Brittni had sex with adults. They are students at her school and therefore without question she should be fired on the spot. But charged with a crime?!? And what possible punishment could she face?
If Colleps is convicted, she could spend 20 years in prison.
It's not against the law to have consensual sex with an adult, as far as I'm aware. Yet she may go to jail for 20 years while Obama insider Jon Corzine will not even be charged for stealing fortunes. Would you like some banana with that republic?

Brittni obviously has porous risk controls

So Corzine was just a phenomenally bad manager and that's that?

No Corzine ok'd the use of segregated client collateral for investmenting in European debt. He wasn't allowed to invest those funds. He and his crony bank partners knew full well he was breaking the law and when those bets went bad the money he was not allowed to invest was paid out, the firm was insolvent and 1 billion dollars in customer fund vanished with no recourse for those customers. They were SOL. And had it not been Obama's boy who had done this, they'd have ended up like the Enron gang. But because it's one if obama's crooks he isn't even charged. There is no rule of law, only the rule of Messiah Obama.

Happy Super Tuesday!
