Presidential campaign supporter Goldman Sachs tied to trafficking of underage girls for prostitution.

Before reading this article please note, I am in no way trying to implicate Ann Romney in having any knowledge that her blind trust investments were paying for the trafficking of girls 15 and younger for prostitution all over the world.
I am however questioning the fact that both Romney and Obama are both recipients of huge donations from Goldman Sachs towards their presidential campaigns. Would it not be apparent that this whole debacle of human trafficking and underage prostitution might merely be swept under the rug by either of these two, should they be put in a position of such authority? We already know what a criminal Obama's current AG, Eric Holder is. His actions are far from questionable. Seems to me, that he would be more than willing to help this criminal activity by a top campaign contributor get swept under the rug with little to no fines or penalties. Read the article, then let me know your thoughts please.

Mitt Romney's wife had blind trust invested in Goldman Sachs' sex trafficking fund

The wife of Republican
presidential hopeful Mitt Romney had a blind trust invested in the
Goldman Sachs' sex trafficking fund, it emerged today.

According to an August 2011 financial
disclosure report by the Romneys, Ann Romney's blind trust had an
investment valued between $15,001 and $50,000 in Goldman's GS
Capital Partners III.

Reuters reported that while there is no suggestion the
Romneys knew about the investment, the disclosure highlights the
difficulty for politicians and their families when they invest in blind
trusts that are supposed to protect them from conflicts of interest and
ethical questions.

Goldman said on Sunday that GS
Capital Partners III signed a deal last Friday to sell its 16 percent
stake in Village Voice Media, which owns the website Backpage.com, back
to management.

Critics argue that Backpage.com
facilitates the trafficking of underage prostitutes and sex slaves,
although others question that.

Andrea Saul, a spokesman for
Romney, stressed that the funds were managed on a blind basis, 'so the
trustee, not the Romneys, make their investment decisions.

'Furthermore, the trustee invests in funds, but, as a passive investor, has no control over the funds' investments.'

Goldman's divestiture is the latest
development in a growing controversy over online adult advertising that
has pitted celebrities, law enforcement officials, members of Congress
and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof against Village Voice
Media.

The private media company has the largest share of revenue in the United States from online advertising of adult services.

It has responded aggressively,
challenging critics' data with editorial investigations and claiming
that it goes to far greater lengths than competitors in cooperating with
law enforcement and monitoring its ads for illegal activity.

The original size and timing of the
blind-trust investment were not disclosed, though in 2007 the Ann Romney
trust reported during Mitt Romney's previous failed attempt to get
nominated as Republican presidential candidate that its investment in
the Goldman fund was then worth between $100,001 and $250,000.

GS Capital Partners III said it had
agreed to sell its 16 per cent stake in the media company, admitting it
had lost much of its investment in the process. Goldman Sachs insisted
it had grown ‘uncomfortable with the direction of the company’ and its
inability to influence its direction.

However New York Times columnist
Nicholas Kristof, who exposed the connection, said the bank had been
‘mortified’ when he first inquired about its stake last week and ‘began
working frantically to unload its shares’.
