Soooo. The Justice Dept wants to join the suit against Lance Armstrong. Ummm... WTF?

[kysrsoze]

Do Justice and Congress only know how to go after athletes? The only people ever prosecuted seem to be baseball players and now Lance Armstrong. I won't even go into why the NFL is somehow immune to investigations about performance enhancing drugs, and that's precisely because I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! In the scheme of it all, who cares, and why does no one apparently care about going after the thieving bastards on Wall Street?

1. Well we certainly know Congress won't go after lobbyist or banksters

so picking on national celebrities is their safest bet. The JD, OTOH, still seems to be controlled by Dick Vader.

[phantom power]

2. much easier than doing the job of prosecuting banksters, I'm sure

[AndyA]

3. Meanwhile, millionaire Wall Street criminals go free after crashing the economy...

Seems the priorities are REALLY SCREWED UP at the Justice Department!

[frazzled]

4. It's for defrauding the USPS

Sounds legit to me. The Justice Dept. has thousands of lawyers. It's not like they aren't pursuing other things besides this one. It's just that this one is news.

[kysrsoze]

6. Yeah, I guess that does make sense. However, I don't see them pursuing much else these days.

I may be a victim of headline reading, but they sure don't do a good job of telling everyone the good things they're doing. All we hear about is what they won't investigate, or that it's OK to kill American citizens.

7. Aaannnd,

he is probably guilty of perjury from his lawsuits against people telling the truth.

5. The Post office was defrauded. They are part of the government. Good for Justice!

and because of the special deal baseball owners got, it IS congress job to monitor them.

Would they not they would be derelict of their duties.
