@AP She should have said, "we are in total agreement. We both oppose long jail terms for felons. I simply did it through the courts...you all the done it by misusing the machinery of government to protect men who tried to overthrow the state. But in the end its the same idea."

Title 18 bank fraud requires the institution to be an FDIC insured bank. Sallie Mae, founded in 1972, and WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN a private corporation, lost even its color of governmently-ness in 2005, around the same time it obtained an FDIC charter. And yet: https://t.co/IaGpEe2176

You're asking the wrong question: how does it NOT when it helps an agency rid itself of an employee who was actively litigating a racial discrimination suit against that same agency hurt Navient?

If Navient had told the truth, Sharon Hall could not have been convicted.

In order cement ties with #theteflonseditionist, Navient ordered its agent into federal court in Kentucky to perjure herself to ensure Sharron Hall was convicted of bank fraud. https://t.co/mvX3MCKYUA via @YouTube https://t.co/Lj07W0EG6t

If you think that's ungentlemanly, listen to how their actions are described by the federal bench @SenatorHughes @NAACP_LDF @Navient https://t.co/uCuu6X3nj1 https://t.co/B5T0ZRrh40

Ed Fox to @CatoInstitute : “The culture of the people who started Sallie Mae was free enterprise – the notion that you didn’t need government to do anything.” Ed Fox to @usedgov : "We were getting clobbered; losing on every loan we owned. We needed help in Congress immediately.” https://t.co/nwtcC0htTb QT @aconnellsmith: )

Lots of questions about this. Yes, this is an actual quote: the first CEO of Sallie Mae, Ed Fox, said this in 2005 during an interview with the United States Treasury. #navientdelendaest https://t.co/1FcoSd0j67

“plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED.... for the reasons stated at conference, extraordinary circumstances compel modification of the protective order.” Translation: I can’t believe you people actually might have done this so now we must find out. @DaniDougPost @DebtCrisisOrg https://t.co/8898pK82Xy https://t.co/few8gcFeAu QT @aconnellsmith: )

"There is one trend St John's did participate in and that was allowing our sticker price to rise to the level of $52,000 that made our college appear to be out of reach of the vast majority of Americans. That was wrong. We regret that." @stjohnscollege

If you'd examine the contract, you'd see that you waived the right to claim breach of contract in section vii.b and you also waived the right to claim it was an invalid contract in viii.4. https://t.co/Z5AmdEBwl2
