The $1.9 billion settlement with HSBC for laundering money for Mexican drug cartels and terrorist-linked banks is criticized as a "new low" for the "too big to fail" doctrine. Despite the severity of the crimes, no individual executives faced criminal charges or fines. The departure of DOJ official Lanny Breuer is noted in connection with these lenient settlements.

Eric Holder refuses to commit to providing personal emails related to the Fast and Furious investigation, citing Department of Justice tradition. The hosts mock an aide whispering in Holder's ear, comparing him to the "Beagle Boys" from Scrooge McDuck comics. They also explore the "Clean Hands Doctrine," a legal principle regarding unfair conduct, in the context of Holder's refusal to be transparent.
