Who is the biggest crook?

 

Just a reminder: Trump is terrible. For example, see this video about how his pardons, clemencies, and commutations gave crooks $2 billion for reimbursements and court fines they now don't have to pay.


 

Meanwhile, Obama gave Wall St. a pass for the subprime/derivatives meltdown--arguably the largest theft in human history. Nobody went to jail (except one Swiss banker). Nobody lost their job. Heck, nobody lost their bonus.

For an idea of how big this was, according to the Federal Reserve's own audit, it extended $16 - $29 trillion in credit to Wall Street's thieves to cure the subprime disaster.

And a trillion is 1,000 times bigger than a billion.

So who's the biggest crook here? And is this a contest anyone would want to win?

My Democratic friends seem to think Trump voters are just ignorant bigots. I say they have a legitimate reason to be angry--not that anger always leads to the clearest thinking or the most sensible solutions.
