State Attorney Generals have opened investigations into foreclosures.
No, really, I don’t mean that some of them, I mean all of them. All 50 state Attorneys Generals have opened investigation:
Top legal officers of all 50 states opened a joint investigation into home foreclosures, saying they will seek an immediate halt to any improper practices at banks and mortgage companies.
The states will conduct a coordinated inquiry into whether banks and loan servicers used false documents and signatures to justify hundreds of thousands of foreclosures. The group intends to establish independent monitoring, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who is leading the probe, said today in a statement.
Great googly moogly!
Every single one of them.
Still, I expect that the net result of all this will be that there will be changes in the law to wallpaper this all over, and leading the charge for banker amnesty will be the White House.
Seriously, when you have Virginia State AG Ken “Misuse my office to abuse climate academics” Cuccinelli joining in on this, the political and legal landscape is pretty unambiguous.
While it is clear that the United States needs a functioning credit system, it does not need these banks, who f%$#ed our whole country (with out lube), but little Timmy Geithner* is determined to shield the people who broke the law and defrauded the their customers, because he* is completely unable to see behind the needs of the megabanks.
*But remember, the Cossacks work for the Czar.
