An expert in banking corruption and finance has joined the Bernie Sanders campaign.

http://www.inquisitr.com/2979022/banking-expert-who-exposed-savings-loan-corruption-joins-sanders-campaign/

An expert in banking corruption and finance has joined the Bernie Sanders campaign. William K. Black, associate professor at University of Missouri-KC, is Bernie Sanders’ new economic advisor. Black was one of the central figures in exposing and prosecuting corruption in the savings and loan crisis from the late 1980s and mid-1990s. His addition to the Sanders campaign brings important knowledge in laws pertaining to finance and banking.


Glad to have you on the team, William K. Black!

He would've done the same here, but Eric Holder never called.

Here's Bernie on that subject!
Bernie Sanders on the S & L crisis- bank bailouts;"Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) objects to Senate motion authorizing bailout funds in saving and loans crisis"
Feb 6, 1991:


"Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) passionately decries the "reverse Robin Hood" practice of putting taxpayers at risk in bailing out the banking industry."
11/21/1991:



"Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gives a blistering indictment of Reaganomics, deregulation, and the calls for balanced budget amendments – the latter, Sanders sees, are part of a larger oligarchic economic agenda."
6/11/1992

Guess after the Daily News interview fiasco it was decided an expert was needed.
