Wall Street and Congress – in Bed Together

The SEC has to go up against some of the smartest criminals on the planet with its hands tied behind its back, as the Wiretap Act, which is Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, forbids the SEC from getting wiretaps as part of its investigations or even listening to wiretaps obtained by the DOJ.

Contempt of Congress isn’t a crime; it’s a rational state of mind.
