Now we're talking.
FBI is investigating Freddie Mac***, Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, AIG and their executives.
*** UPDATE # 3: Is McCain sh!tting his Dependz right now ? His campaign mgr, Rick Davis, was paid $ 2 million by Freddie Mac - which is now under FBI investigation. October surprize that, bitchez !
Keep calling/e-mailing your Senators and Representative. NO on bailout ! !
UPDATE # 1: I propose Reid & Pelosi isue this statement on Friday, say nothing else, smile, and adjourn Congress for the year :
With an active FBI investigation, we support letting the legal process take its course. Obviously, until that process is completed, it would be extremely inappropriate for us to expect American taxpayers to pay a dime to the parties under investigation. Because this is a pending investigation we will have no further comment. Good day.
Who the hell thinks we should pay them $ 1 trillion while they are freakin' under investigation by the FBI !?
Imagine, just imagine, if Ken Lay & Co had hundreds of billions of our money thrown their way while Enron was under investigation, and the guilty parties were arrested and put on trial !
The answer to Bush's trillion dollar giveaway now must be : Not no, but F*CK NO.
FBI investigating companies at heart of meltdown

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- . . . The FBI is looking at potential fraud by mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., and insurer American International Group Inc.
. . . The new inquiries brings the number of corporate lenders under investigation over the last year to 26.
SOURCE
Elected Democrats and their citizen supporters - I include Obama - would be just plain INSANE to support the Bush bailout proposal.
Imagine taxpayers giving millions to Al Capone while the feds were hot on his heels.
That's what we have here.
Not no, but F*CK NO
Run out the clock, Congress. Adjourn on Friday and be done with it.
There's a Pending Investigation. So let the chips fall where they may, and let the next President and Congress handle it after the investigation and any further action is taken by Law Enforcement.
Until then - sorry : Pending Investigation, No Comment, No Action.
UPDATE # 2: Almost forgot ! Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, was paid $2 million by Freddie Mac - which is now under FBI investigation. Question - Will Rick Davis be questioned or a subject of the federal investigation ? Imagine that - a major presidential candidate's campaign manager caught up in an FBI investigation 6 weeks before the election !
