"There hasn't been any serious investigation of any of the large financial entities by the Justice Department, which includes the FBI," says William Black, an associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, who, as a government regulator in the 1980s, helped clean up the S&L mess. Black, who is a Democrat, notes that the feds dealt with the S&L crisis with harsh justice, bringing more than a thousand prosecutions, and securing a 90 percent conviction rate. The difference between the government's response to the two crises, Black says, is a matter of will, and priorities. "You need heads on the pike," he says. "The first President Bush's orders were to get the most prominent, nastiest frauds, and put their heads on pikes as a demonstration that there's a new sheriff in town."

"Wall Street" uses many law firms, and Covington & Burling isn't one of the more notable ones.
Facts to back you claim?
This story from Newsweek seems pretty extensive.

take a look a the league tables (for M&A, IPOs, other equities or bonds, whatever you want) if you're skeptical
IOW no facts beyond your feeling, got it.
How does that account for prosecutions being off 30% given the alleged fraud assocaited with the Financial collapse on 2008?
Love the ability of libs to ignore crime when it is their guys giving a pass to the criminals.

If I translate that to English, are you asking for a league table?
Sure, 13, gladly -- just tell me which one you'd like to see, as I have zero confidence that you are being sincere here -- M&A? IPOs? bonds, what? 2012? 2011?

You're confused, I see. I stated a fact regarding your post. That's not deflecting, so stop making things up.

No personal attack, you're making things up. I'm not a liberal, I'm not ignoring any crimes and Holder's not my guy.
You made things up, it's quite simple. Now maybe you should stop doing that, huh, 13?
