Speedy justice for 'spies', not Wall Street

I have refused to write any more about the farcical and quite dubious Russian 'spy' scandal as I don't want to justify or legitimise its existence with comment. However, as Danny Schechter of Consortium News reports, if only Wall Street plunderers could be treated as aggressively as the handful of Russian "sleeper agents" who were caught, processed and exiled back to Russia in a few days - as long as the Wall Street tycoons could be separated from their money, too.

Instead, the architects of the global financial collapse have been picked up by the U.S. taxpayers, who then were made to dust off the designer suits so the tycoons could get back to collecting out-sized salaries and bonuses, as Danny Schechter notes in this guest essay:

We just witnessed justice on steroids. Ten Russian “spies” — even if we still don’t know what they were spying on or why — were brought to court, copped a plea, and were on their way out of the country by midnight.
