my thanks to the fdic, fha, sec, trusted attorneys general beau biden of delaware, jack conway of kentucky, doug gansler of maryland, to california, and lisa madigan of illinois and eric schneiderman of new york was also one of the co-chairs of the working group. one final note, there are so many people who deserve recognition for the hard work that they did to make today's announcement a reality. but allow me to name just a special few. the assistant u.s. attorney who was the driving force behind the maryland investigation in the district of new jersey. the director of the group, jeff graber. and counsel stacy grigsby. and my deputy chief of staff cindy chang. thanks to all of them for their dedication and repeated all-nighters of the last several weeks. it has made a real difference. now i will turn it back to the attorney general. >> before we go to any questions, let me add a few words about the situation in ferguson. yesterday, i visited ferguson in order to be briefed on the ongoing federal civil rights investigation into the august 9 shooting death of michael brown. the investigatio

tough fancy farm crowd back in 2009, the one we just showed you there, kentucky attorney general jack conwayogize for his use of foul language. democratic consultant said, the main thing for a candidate to understand is you don't want to do any harm to yourself that. is a legitimate warning, because fancy warm is one of the rowdiest political events of the year in kentucky or anywhere. kentucky politicians who show up to speak basically do so at their own risk. it is very easy to get swept up in the mood of the crowd, to say something you don't mean or to react poorly to the heckling of the audience. as the kentucky democratic party chairman says, that's the whole point. it's a rite of passage, to go down there and not to get flustered. the second you look off into the crowd or pay attention to what someone is yelling at you, you are off your game and then people are more vicious. politicians have come around with stinging insults to keep their cool. >> they did everything they could. you know what, they couldn't stop us. not at the ballot box. so they launched a political witch-hunt to stop

that was a warning because that came after this memorable moment from kentucky attorney general jack conwayrmer kentucky senator wendell ford back in 2009. >> you all with holler all you want at me and i can hear you. just like wendell used to say, you know what, go ahead and chew on my hide. chew on it. it only grows back tougher. i've been around a while and you're looking at one tough son of a bitch. >> conway will be there again because he's running for governor. so will his opponent, rand paul. but of course the main event is the matchup between republican senator mitch mcconnell and his democratic chal earn, alison grimes who last shared a stage at fancy farm one year ago. >> i want to say how nice it is, how nice it is to see jerry lundegan back in the game. like the loyal person he is, he's taking orders on how to run his daughter's campaign. they told him to make a pitch on the internet for the women's vote and he sent a check to anthony weiner. >> if senator mcconnell had his way, his version of kentucky health care for our seniors, grandmother, would be to walk it off. if the doc
