Feds Priorities: Bonds over Madoff

What does it say about our government's priorities that far more resources were spent investigating baseball player Barry Bonds than Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff? 


From Matier & Ross, the Feds even wired a pregnant agent and had her spend hours at the gym with the wife of Bonds' trainer, just to get hearsay dirt on Bonds. But the excuse for not investigating stock fraud is lack of resources.
