Black sums up precisely the utter lack of accountability by the Obama administration of any of those banks who threw America’s entire economy into the black hole, no pun intended, that we’ve been enduring since 2008. Understand, Black was a lead legal investigator who exposed the Savings and Loan Crisis scandal known as the Keating Five. According to Wikipedia,
“The former Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention now teaches Economics and Law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. During the savings and loan crisis, it was Black who accused then-house speaker Jim Wright and five US Senators, including John Glenn and John McCain, of doing favors for the S&L’s in exchange for contributions and other perks. The senators got off with a slap on the wrist, but so enraged was one of those bankers, Charles Keating — after whom the senate’s so-called “Keating Five” were named — he sent a memo that read, in part, ‘get Black — kill him dead.’ Metaphorically, of course. Of course.”
