Geithner has been doing the bidding of someone else for awhile.
Apparently since 2007 at least by this proof.
My FR post of November 21, 2008:
Remember when Bush called a meeting on the meltdown before the election and invited McCain and Obama? On his way to the meeting, an Obama advisor got a call from a Goldman contact disclosing Paulsons game plan, which Obama then used to throw in everyones face and toss the meeting into turmoil. My bet is that Geithner was the originator of the leak and that this, among other things, established his bona fides with the Kennedy Wing of the Democrats (aka Obama). Therefore he gets elevated to Treasury Secretary. Geithner has always been doing someone elses bidding. Thats his MO.
Yuppers.
