Very fortunate that i got in position to collaborate with others in trying to realize some of those things. In is a question from twitter that i was also interested in. The question is, how does the fed evaluate costs and benefits of Equity Capital requirements . How do you get to that number compared to where basel was . We did an awful lot of work on capital ratios, both the levels that seemed prescribed or needed in order to reduce e chances of financial instability but also the cost of the economy. We did a lot of that in collaboration with other Basel Committee members in a quite substantial exercise but we actually did a bunch of that on our own. So we actually formulated, i think, quite a good an lytic framework on both sides of that question and that informed our positions on baseliii and on the surcharges. In both cases we were in favor of somewhat higher numbers and eventually came out and that was based in part on the analysis we have done. With respect to the leverage ratio
With their own version of a bill to gut obamacare. Whats the next move from President Trump and from the democrats . Plus, womens marches coast to coast calling for equality and many taking a stand against the new white house. Well have live coverage. Yes, demanding proof and its just not one party, now both republicans and democrats are demanding information, proof on President Trumps stunning claim that former president Obama Wiretapped him.

And republicans on the house Judiciary Committee also calling on fbi director comey to investigate President Trumps wiretapping claim. So what if the department of justice and the fbi flatout refuse

organized crime and its ally, jimmy hoff what and he made his brother, bobby kennedy, attorney general. they weren t just prosecuting mobsters at the rate of two or three times what had gone on under the eisenhower or nixon administration, but 10, 20 times. it was a massive war on organized crime. the mob no longer had cuba to flee to, so their backs were against the wall. the kennedyss were getting ready to run the mob out of las vegas. you might wonder why not kill robert kennedy? someone asked an earlier fbi informant asked marcelo that and he said, if you kill robert kennedy, jfk would simply send the army or the national guard in to get you. well, lamar, what about we look at the evidence as you mentioned, as you know, when you re looking in court, generally if you have a jailhouse confession, right, that s considered one of the least credible types of confessions. what do you say to that?
