BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Obama entered office with a really insane, messianic cult of personality around him. It is ludicrous to look back on. I used to go to Young Democrats meetings, and there was this one 18 year old girl who was super pumped about Obama, babbling about how he was going to fix everything. Made me cringe.

From what I understand part of the reason very few people went to prison is because there wasn't much going on that was actually illegal. That's what happens when you allow the regulatory infrastructure to slowly crumble over a number of years it eventually blows up in your face.

No there was quite a bit of flagrantly illegal conduct, as revealed in various leaks and court cases. Like straight up breaking the law then bragging about it via email. The doj just didn't wnt to prosecute

For example the government refused to go after HSBC even though they knowingly laundered money for drug cartels. Because the nuclear option would mean they would disqualified from being able to do any sort of financial business. Don't believe the Bad Dem myth that it's impossible to go after white collar wall street criminals.
