Corzine steals billions sans charges, errant whale watcher faces prison

Corzine steals billions sans charges, errant whale watcher faces prison. Whale watching ship captain Nancy Black faces 20 years in prison because she has been charged with lying to Justice Department prosecutors investing allegations that some of her crew members whistled at a whale to keep it hanging around their boats. Too bad her ship wasn’t taking guns to Mexico instead of whistling at whales.

  • I know this story is old, but this is incredible. With the GSA and Corzine and so many crap out there the government puts the squeeze on everyday Americans. it is so disgusting.

  • This reminds me of some of the current reporters being held or threatened with arrest under the Alien and Sedition Act. You know the law signed by President John Adams.......our second President in case you forgot who he was. So far 0bozo has had six people arrested under this law, they are either whistle-blowers or reporters. Prior to 0bozo taking office this law had only been used three times in our history, only 3 times in 221 years. What does that tell you?

    • It's not illeagal to whistle at whales it is however according to the false claims act of 1863 to not tell the truth to prosecutors. They are prosecuting this ships Captain based on a law from 1863 because they don't have any other law with which to charge her.

  • I'll bet all that money that Corzine and his toadies stole went to Obama and the Democratic party for the 2012 election.

  • As I like to explain to innocents: "When you're sitting in that 'interview' room with one wrist handcuffed to a ring on the wall, try and remember that cops, first and foremost, want to clear the case. If they can do that by getting you to make stupid statements, that's fine by them. But YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS IN THAT ROOM, no matter what they tell you."

    • True. No matter what they say, they are NOT trying to go easy on you, they DO NOT understand how it was, and they DO NOT want to help you or give you a break. ESPECIALLY if you are innocent. Where's the clip of that lecture again?

  • No wonder ole Eric the Red Holder hasn't prosecuted anybody for Solyndra, The Black Panthers, MF Global, or Fast and Furious. His Justice Department is much too busy prosecuting real criminals like Litter Bugs, and Jay Walkers.

  • I guess we as a society have yet to learn this very important thing: NEVER TALK TO THE COPS. Never never never. If you have anything at stake, NEVER ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. USE IT.

  • She should have told them she was filling the whale up with M-16's for a run to Mexico at Dear Leader's request.

  • The ship captain obviously had not taken the BO Correspondence School course on "How to Plead the 5th Amendment" when asked questions by Federal Inquisitors.

  • One more sign that 0bama has brought us to third world African standards, a nation of men not of laws.

    Fundamental changing of America!!!
