The 300-page report, released a day before a Senate subcommittee plans to question bank executives and regulators at a hearing, will escalate the debate over how to police complex risk-taking on Wall Street. It may also foreshadow a criminal case against employees at the heart of the troubled wager.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">If this does not trigger criminal charges, it will signal the need to replace the top people at DOJ.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/tv-column\/post\/ed-schultz-out-chris-hayes-in-for-msnbc-primetime\/2013\/03\/14\/06cb3e0e-8d02-11e2-9f54-f3fdd70acad2_blog.html\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post<\/a>: <\/font>Schultz-hosted \u201cThe Ed Show\u201d will be moved from its 8 p.m. weekday berth to weekend evenings, starting next month\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Hayes, who has hosted weekend morning show \u201cUp w\/Chris Hayes,\u201d is moving to the 8 pm. weekday slot, leading in to \u201cThe Rachel Maddow Show,\u201d starting April 1.
