Opinion: Financial crime is at record-high levels while prosecutions are declining — and the lack of DOJ attention is costing Americans hundreds of billions of dollars

. Among other things, the department should seek additional funding for this work, initiate a uniform federal effort to collect data on the national prevalence of financial crime, direct U.S.

Needless to say, this is all much easier said than done, but before any of it could possibly happen, the Biden-Garland DOJ must actually take a concerted interest in the area and back it up with the commitment of high-level personnel and a considerable amount of time and energy. Every day that this does not happen, Americans are paying the price.

hello ! GET ON IT!

We all should stand up for finding out the truth as to how the January 6th insurrection on our Capital happened and make all accountable! In my opinion Trump had some of the Republican Senators in on setting up the attack!

Injustice dept!!

White collar crime has not been prosecuted for years. The Enron and WorldCom scandals were the last. It is one reason corruption is at it's highest level since the 192O's.

Failed Administration
