527: Odious Selfies
Jeff Olson Chalk Protest, HSBC Money Laundering, James Comey
Protester Jeff Olson is acquitted in San Diego after facing 13 years in prison for writing anti-bank slogans in washable chalk. The hosts contrast this aggressive prosecution with the lack of jail time for HSBC executives involved in laundering billions for Mexican drug cartels. They note that James Comey, the FBI Director nominee, served on the board of HSBC during the period of the fine.
