17. Would you like to guess how many banksters are prosecuted during Obama's last 4 years?

Hint: most likely the same number that were prosecuted during his first 4 years.

Reagan got over 1000 convictions of banksters after the Savings and Loan crisis, which was a tiny fraction of the size of the 2008 fraud.
