Tens of billions of dollars at stake. Millions upon millions in bribes. Sounds like a case most worthy of prosecution.
Nope.In the administration's goal of spreading American values all over the world, the Obama Administration decides that FIFA needs to be brought down a notch. Yeah.....this is gonna make foreigners love American...for sure. What's Obama gonna do next? Go after the Olympic Committee for rejecting his bid for a Chicago Olympics? Maybe he needs to go after the Nobel Committee for taking a $100 million bribe as payment for his Nobel Prize.
Loretta Lynch s Justice Department Just Launched a Full-Blown Offensive Against FIFA - NationalJournal.com
May 27, 2015 Loretta Lynch's Justice Department unsealed a 47-count indictment Wednesday morning laden with racketeering, corruption, and conspiracy charges against 14 defendants associated with FIFA, the world soccer association, and international soccer organizations.
It's the latest in a series of high-profile moves from the Justice Department since Lynch became attorney general last month, including its investigations into police misconduct in Baltimore. The indictment originated in the Eastern District of New York—where Lynch served as U.S. attorney until her confirmation—and was supported by an FBI investigation into FIFA's dealings.
The heavily detailed indictment details 12 individual schemes coordinated by various defendants over the last 25 or so years, including plots related to bidding for the 2010 World Cup, the 2011 FIFA presidential election, and next year's Centennial Copa America tournament.
In a press conference Wednesday morning, Lynch framed FIFA's actions as a betrayal of soccer's fans.
"Many of the individuals and organizations we will describe today were entrusted with keeping soccer open and accessible to all," she said. "They were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game. Instead they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves."
Considering the fact that Ms. Lynch just got into her position as AG, I think it is safe to say that she had little, if anything to do with this investigation. Secondly, I am a bit confused as to your position here. Do you support racketeering and corruption in sports?
However, I think going after sports organizations is a bit ridiculous considering what's going on in our cities.
But it does show where this administration's priorities lie.
So the justice department should ignore these crimes because you don't think they are not important to prosecute? That would seem to indicate that your answer to my question is yes.
Of All Of The Criminal Activity...Our AG Thinks Soccer Is Worth Prosecuting
Don't you love the way the OP suggests that these criminals should get away with corruption and swindling? Cons are such morons.

It's because the wingnuts' hero, Vladimir Putin, is pulling their strings. Apparently corruption is a bad thing, unless they get the word from Moscow that it isn'tYou're faulting Lynch for a 25 year, international investigation? Are you saying the corruption should be allowed to go on? Just wondering what you're whining about because its just plain bizarre to be all upset about criminals being caught.
Hey, don't insult the President! (-:What do terrorists and the AG have to do with one another you dumb monkey?Obama and gang must have felt they weren't getting "THEIR CUT"
so here they are. we are dealing with Terrorist, at least we won't be attacked BY soccer. Dear gawd how people don't see THIS GOVERNMENT is out of Control
