And who was President in February? and who filed a law suit in February against the Swiss bank for the first time in history? In February, the Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against UBS seeking the identities of 52,000 more Americans suspected of stashing a total of $15 billion at the bank. This time, the Swiss were having none of it. Citing bank-client confidentiality guaranteed in the Swiss constitution, Switzerland's government has forbidden UBS from complying. It has also threatened to "take control of the data at UBS" to prevent the bank from handing the accounts over to the Americans. http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1910389,00.html So what I posted is indeed factual. Thank you!

The lawsuit wasn’t filed in February. It was RESOLVED in February. You bring an accurate quote from Time Magazine but Time Magazine is wrong. The case was filed, we can be sure, some time before January 20 of this year. If you google around I’m sure you’ll be able to gather more specific information, but this is an objective matter and it just isn’t possible to ascribe responsiblity for this to the current president (except, i suppose, that he didn’t reach out and stop it — which, given president Clinton’s favor for Marc Rich, is probably something, at least for a Democrat. So i’ll give you that.)
