In light of what we've learned about SAR's and PEP's required reports from banks on transfers of money as little as $3000. Why weren't the irregularities at NRCC identified and investigated through wiretaps and surveillance, the way Spitzer's activities were?
In fact, will all the bank, IRS, Treasury Dept, and FBI scrutiny of money transactions, how is it possible there is so much missing money from government contractors who are transfering funds into and out of Iraq, a terrorist area.
Isn't that why the Patriot Act was established and the banks and federal government got so much authority to surveil American citizens financial transactions? Perhaps media scrutiny on these oversights is overdue.
