As the attention of Americans is focused on surviving the pandemic and the pivotal presidential debate, William Barr's Justice Department decided to quietly hand an early Christmas present to a notorious Wall Street bank.

Why the Justice Department is bringing only two counts when its own charging document indicates that traders engaged in "tens of thousands of instances of unlawful trading in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium ... as well as thousands of instances of unlawful trading in U.S. Treasury futures contracts and in U.S. Treasury notes and bonds" is one more sign that this Justice Department is egregiously failing the American people and making a mockery of the word "justice." ...
