USA Today: Obama set to nominate Mary Jo White as SEC chief - NO WAY

THIS IS INSANE.
- The Hargrove voice statement
- And nearly everything she backed as gospel got thrown out by Tags as "Insufficient Evidence."

And now she going to run the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The only thing she has shown us is that she can be bought. Has Wall Street ever bought government officials before? That's like asking if the Mafia ever paid-off cops???????

Shes the perfect candidate. She proved she can be paid off.

To be fair, saying she was bought or paid off (whatever that means - she was indeed a private attorney hired by the league to "review its case") isn't really the right concept IMO. All we know is that the league showed her its version of the evidence and she said it was solid.

We all know the league was manipulating evidence and connecting dots that weren't really there. But she wasn't privy to the rebuttal or any of the challenges that came later in the process (because the players were smart enough to wait until the deck wasn't completely stacked against them).

I don't like her either. But her record seems to evidence a tough prosecutor rather than someone for sale to the highest bidder. In bountygate, the league was her client - she had no obligation of objectivity to the players, even if the league tried to make it seem like she was quasi-judicial.

Of course the prosecutor is going to say that the Commissioner was justified in his prosecution. Those are birds of a feather and not necessarily because one was bought.
