FinReg exempts SEC from FOIA

Now then - that wonderfully effective securities watchdog, the Securities Exchange Commission - you know, the ones who put Martha Stewart behind bars while ignoring evidence that Bernie Madoff was a crook - yeah that one - well, they won't have to worry any more about citizens nosing about and documenting just how bad the clown show is at that agency.

They claim the Dodd-Frank bill gives them exemption from the Freedom of Information Act.

Most. Transparent. Regime. Evah.

I'm getting seriously Fed Up.

  1. If the Repubs take the House this fall, I'd like to see them touch a match to the entire financial "reform" bill. It's a bogus, self-serving waste of printer ink.
