The Justice Department announcement in the Goldman case states that between 2005 and 2007, the investment bank marketed and sold mortgage-backed securities to investors that were of lower quality than promised. As a result, Goldman will pay a $2.385 billion civil penalty to the Justice Department, $875 million resolving claims from other state and federal agencies, and $1.8 billion in so-called “consumer relief” measures, like forgiving principal on loans and providing financing for affordable housing. That’s where the much-touted $5 billion figure comes from.
...
But only $2.385 billion of the total comes in the form of a cash civil penalty. The rest is tax deductible, as a business expense. Considering the indeterminate dollar value of the consumer relief, it’s hard to say how much money Goldman will be able to write off. But going with the Justice Department’s numbers, you have $2.615 billion in tax-deductible penalty, which at a 35 percent corporate tax rate equals a write-off of $915 million. That means nearly $1 billion of the settlement is effectively financed by taxpayers.

I do believe the swamp is getting drained. And there has been a lot of stuff coming out since the 2nd and more to come, IMO.
I also am questioning the "timing" of Sessions rescinding the States right to legalize pot. I 'feel' like that whole thing is an attention draw to throw a certain group of people into a tizzy and get them focused & talking about that instead of paying attention to other happenings.
And that it came at the same time as the Trump/Bannon fight.... ? For me, that is just one of those things that make me go hmmmm....
