What Congress missed at AIG-Geithner hearing (Goldman Sachs hot line to the Treasury?)

EXCERPT

If you look through Paulson's phone logs, there are dozens upon dozens of calls made between Blankfein and Paulson during the latter's tenure as Treasury secretary.

And those calls don't even include ones likely made on cell phones. One congressman said during yesterday's hearing that Geithner also made hundreds of calls to Goldman Sachs during the AIG timeframe. Or, as he put it, 103 calls to Goldman and 100 calls to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Weird how much congress ‘misses’ isn’t it?

His mouth keeps moving, but Geithner continues to say incredibly stupid things -- like, insisting again yesterday that he in herited today's financial problems when in fact he was head of the New York Fed when this mess started.

Ping!

That these people are in constant communication is pure deductive reasoning for anyone who follows Wall St. and finance. It doesn't take phone records to know that.

Of course the major players at The Fed, Treasury and the big Northeastern banks have each other on speed dial. The gov/fed/treasury bankster clan is quite an incestuous one - it's always been thus.

The only thing these phone records show is that during their Great American Ripoff, they used their phones in the same way high-end professional bank robbers use walkie-talkies in those heist movies.
