Even President Obama, who has expressed his view that Manning broke the law, has not expressed his view that the banksters broke the law.

Here's an idea. Why don't we just wait for the after the re-election and then we can all believe that someday, someday in the future, Holder will really get around to prosecuting some of the individuals.
