Oh, I'm pretty sure it's allowed somewhere in the fine print. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it!
Government handout recipient privilege.
How are they “paying it back?” More tax money?
Cue Claude Raines
I was outraged when the TARP was up for debate to begin with for this very reason. There was no oversight or restrictions on how this money was used. It was just a blank check, because “we have to do something”.
Well, it begins!
Only $600 billion of waste yet to be found!
As Barky said, “I guess that there were not that many shovel ready jobs.”
Almost a trillion down the tubes. And now Trump wants another trillion!
So...go after all these criminals ! Is accountability so “then”?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for judicial reckoning. The current governor was the attorney general while this was going on.
TARP was supposed to be supervised. It was the last quarter of the GWB Admin. The Dems were in control of the House and Senate. The Stimulus, under the Obama Admin had absolutely NO OVERSIGHT. TARP finds were supposed to be paid back! Stimulus was nearly a trillion dollars of FREE MONEY TO OBAMA SUPPORTERS. All on the taxpayer ‘dime’. MR TRUMP, DRAIN THE SEWER!
I think IGs should be able to indict public employees with mandatory prosecution required by DAs.
Pres Trump needs to ask Treasury officials what exactly Rahm Emanuel and Obama were doing there.
PAUSE TO REFLECT--- As taxpayers were being gulled by the TARP fraud, Obama had tight control of Treasury and spent trillions of tax dollars. Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chi/cons (a) took control of the US Census; Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (including the conservative-suppressing IRS). Read on.
==========================================
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.
