Perhaps it's time for the Florida Attorney General to point out, where all that fraud is, that those "Retired Judges" can't see.
And perhaps it's time to check into the pockets or portfolios if you prefer of those "Retired Judges"
These special foreclosure courts though, have become highly controversial, with critics dubbing them “rocket dockets,” and claiming judges are rushing through cases, unfairly favoring banks over homeowners. For once, we get the judges' side, which is rather hilarious: "there is no evidence, nothing has been presented to us in the 4th circuit, that there is any fraud being perpetrated upon the court. What is classified as fraud, can also be classified as sloppiness, can be classified as neglect, but the legal aspect of the word fraud, we do not experience that." Could it also be classified as bribery by the TBTF lobby we wonder?

Document Mess Hits Fannie, Freddie .
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704763904575550472268902454.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories
Do you really think that this situation can be fixed Ben?
Ms. Kapusta handled files for Fannie and Freddie, according to her deposition.
When Fannie came to the Stern law firm to check on the processing, "We would all have to be under strict dress code and emails would go out that Fannie was in the office," Ms. Kapusta said. Fannie and Freddie have guidelines that require, for example, that documents reflecting the transfer of ownership be dated on the exact day of the transfer.
But Ms. Kapusta said that to meet those guidelines, documents were backdated. "They'd come in and audit," Ms. Kapusta said, "so we're just typing in what they want to see. It's not necessarily what actually occurred. That's what we were told to do."
Fannie and Freddie declined to comment on the deposition

Attorneys General in 49 States Join Foreclosure Probe
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-10-13/attorneys-general-in-49-states-join-foreclosure-probe.html
The AG's better dig a little deeper than just the foreclosure process and ask why all of the crimes had to be committed for the simple process as a foreclosure.
They're a missing the big picture or choosing to willingly ignore it, in which case,it would seem the possibility is there that they themselves are also aiding and abetting the banks as well as being in collusion regarding the political cover up of one of the greatest financial crimes committed against the taxpayer in the history of the United States..
With the fraudulent use of MERS the banks decided their own fate regarding the state of fairness.
America is not going to let this go.
The banks plied Fannie and Freddie with this crap that can't be traced to legally foreclose on. They just billed the taxpayer a few more billion the last quarter to take care of the financial obligations to the bondholders that come with the getting dumped with Fannie and Freddie.
The FED wants to buy more of this same crap up and stick the taxpayer with the tab, as well as devaluing your dollar even more in the process of doing it.
Top legal officers of 49 states opened a joint investigation into home foreclosures, saying they will probe practices at banks and mortgage companies.
The states, including Texas, Iowa and New Mexico will conduct a coordinated inquiry into whether banks and loan servicers used false documents and signatures to justify hundreds of thousands of foreclosures, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson said today in an e-mailed statement.
“Our multistate group has begun inquiring whether or not individual mortgage servicers have improperly submitted affidavits or other documents in support of foreclosures,” the attorneys said in a statement. “The facts uncovered in our review will dictate the scope of our inquiry.”
Alabama is the only state that didn’t join the probe
“This group has the backing of nearly every state in the nation to get to the bottom of this foreclosure mess, and we plan to work together as thoroughly and expeditiously as possible,” Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who is leading the group, said in a statement.
“Since this issue affects people’s homes and has clear economic implications, this probe and its outcome need to be fair both to homeowners and also to lenders,” Miller said.
First Steps
The group’s initial goals include putting an immediate stop to improper mortgage practices, reviewing past and present practices by mortgage servicers, evaluating potential remedies and establishing a mechanism for more effective independent monitoring of future mortgage foreclosure practices, Miller’s office said in its statement.

Ohio hit hard by foreclosures
http://washingtonindependent.com/100237/ohio-hit-hard-by-foreclosure-now-at-epicenter-of-fraud-crisis
Remember when some of the states tried to keep predatory lending out and the Federal government sued them to make sure that the Banks has the right to go ahead and fleece those states constituents anyway?
Those very same people are now going to investigate the foreclosure mess?
Or Congress is going to investigate and do nothing about it. Just like they did nothing with the revelations the Goldman Sachs was betting against the crap that they were selling to their customers as viable.
The foreclosure situation in the US as well as screwing the investors that bought all of those mortgage backed securities is a crime.
And a criminal investigation should not be done by anyone who helped perpetuate the crime, as well as anyone who helped to cover it up.
So that would leave out Congress as well as the Justice department.
The question is: Just who exactly can be trusted without bias to really investigate what can only be envisioned now as racketeering?
“I’ve seen the foreclosure issue go from predatory loans, to subprime loans, to predatory loans, to an economic situation where folks have been laid off,” Jones explains. “And now we’re back to problems with paperwork.”
Ohio — and especially Cleveland — was hit earlier and worse by the foreclosure crisis than other states, due to widespread problems with predatory lending, an early economic downturn stemming from the loss of manufacturing jobs, and weak consumer-protection laws. Now, it is at the forefront of the foreclosure fraud crisis, with housing advocates and politicians calling for banks to halt evictions immediately and stop seizing homes.

Judges try to get a grip on foreclosure chaos
http://www.bradenton.com/2010/10/04/2624103/judges-try-to-get-grip-on-foreclosure.html
Looks like the Florida judges have had it with the mockery being made of the judicial system.
You know a lawyer knows better than to treat the court system as though it's revlevance means nothing and to treat it as if it's his personal playground.
The fifth time was the final straw for Manatee County Circuit Court Judge Janette Dunnigan.
Four times in a 2007 foreclosure case, a Fort Lauderdale law firm representing a bank scheduled a hearing and either did not appear or canceled it at the last minute without telling others. So when it happened again April 13, Dunnigan called Smith, Hiatt and Diaz P.A. and issued a warning: Stop it or I’ll hold you in contempt of court.
The threat didn’t work: The firm subsequently set two more hearings and didn’t show for either one. So Dunnigan found the firm in “deliberate, willful and flagrant” contempt after an Aug. 30 hearing and issued a $49,000 fine, which the firm is contesting.
Legal observers said they believe Dunnigan’s act is the first time a Florida judge has sanctioned a so-called ‘foreclosure mill’ for its practices. But they said it also illustrates a growing effort by judges to regain control of the foreclosure process after years of chaos.
“The system’s overloaded and they’ve got to do something about it,” said Dawn Bates-Buchanan, managing attorney for Gulfcoast Legal Services’ Bradenton office. “The judges all are saying, ‘No more. We’ve had enough.’ ”
That frustration stems from a foreclosure crisis of historic proportions.

White House Now Accepting Comments On H.R. 3808
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/white-house-now-accepting-comments-hr-3808
Did you read that deposition?
This bill makes all of that legal.
Send in your voice and tell Obama NO!
Then read the comments for a good laugh.
People are pissed and it comes out in the most hilarious ways.
Bill H.R. 3808, the Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act of 2010, which was discussed yesterday, and which according to both Reuters and the NYT may have a material impact on mitigating the impact of the High Freq Signing scandal, at least on the servicers, is now open for public comments at the white house.
Those wishing to tell the president how they feel, may do so at the following link:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/webform/comment-legislation?billname=H.R.%203808%20-%20Interstate%20Recognition%20of%20Notarizations%20Act%20of%202010
We are confident the White House will promptly disclose all the "well-mannered" comments advising the administration on all sorts of anatomically impossible acts it should engage in should Obama sign off on this.
