Sorry Rick. People remember.

Kamala Harris worked directly for the Obama Administration White House staff in 2008-9-10, etc? I didn't know that.
She was a state AG.
Are we still talking about anything related to the upcoming election and why getting rid of Trump is the best idea no matter what?
Bernie is the ideal but Bernie or no Bernie, getting rid of Trump is paramount.

I do remember that Congress refused to help the Obama administration go after a lot of this skullduggery, but as others have said, your mileage may vary.

I do actually remember Liz Warren grilling some bank execs in Congress, and going after SEC sins, but alas much of that carried over past 2016 and we all know what happened a good many of those cases.
Many of them got put through the Trump wringer one way or another, as Trump has managed to pretty much declaw the CFPB, which by the way, arose as a result of the Obama administration's response to the mortgage crisis.

As for the robo-signing, a bill that was launched in Congress as a response to the robo-signing crisis was vetoed by Obama because it was felt that the bill would actually make it easier for lenders to foreclose on even MORE homes.

What did precipitate from this was a mass of legal actions against the banks and other lenders.

Since the majority Republican Congress was only interested in protecting banks instead of going after them, a series of lawsuits was the only remedy.
That tends to be how these things shake out when a President faces a corrupt opposition party who is determined to stifle his efforts wholesale.

Yes, people do remember, but some have selective memories.
