Boy, What A deal For Crooks.

Here's a deal for ya. If you're a crook, you might be very interested in it. It's called "deferred prosecution agreement". How it works is the government goes to  people like big bankers or other large corporations and says if you agree to investigate yourself we will agree not to do it. So the big banker hires a lawyer to investigate the big bank. Of course the big banker can feel confident that the lawyer he chooses won't find any wrong doing on the part of the big banker. Perhaps a janitor has been the culprit in this case. The big banker and the lawyer report the janitor to the Justice Department . The Justice Department puts the janitor in front of the firing squad and everyone is happy. Well everyone but the janitor I suppose. So, if you're a crook, you may want to form a large corporation of crooks. Call it Crooks Are Us. Then if anyone is caught doing anything crooked you can arrange a "deferred prosecution agreement" with the Justice Department. The only thing though, you'll have to hire a bunch of janitors. And a lawyer of course. I can see all sorts of opportunities for this type of agreement. In fact, I think there's an opening here for nearly everybody to get in on the act. How about a "Taxpayers Misinformation On Tax Return Corporation". That way if you cheat on your tax return, you can tell them the janitor did it. Hey, even janitors could form a corporation. They could hire a few big bankers to be their fall guy. What goes around comes around.
