President Obama expected to nominate Loretta Lynch as attorney general

Washington (CNN) -- Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, is expected to be President Barack Obama's pick for attorney general, U.S. officials briefed on the matter said.

An announcement is expected in the coming days, though the timing is complicated by the president's plans to travel to Asia this weekend.

The fix is in - no one on Wall Street will be prosecuted. Lynch is the only attorney ever to serve on the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and did so precisely during the time frame of the worst excesses of the housing bubble.

I'm thinking this is the canary in the coal mine.

Cynicism is a lost art form over due to return.

She is 100% Grade-A Wall Street Approved

They will confirm her to show how "bipartisan" and "compromising" they are.

It's a poor pun, but, lowering expectations is the new GOTV campaign. You heard it first. ha
