Treasury's Geitner Gets Grilled Like a Well-Done Steak During Congressional Hearing Today
C-Span ^

Posted on 01/27/2010 9:16:24 AM PST by quesney

Geitner is getting badly bloodied and gutted in today's congressional hearing -- by members of both parties.

Never seen anything like it.

Several congressmen has gone as far to demand his resignation, during questioning. Others have shouted him down, going far outside their time limit. He has been absolutely berated left and right.

Almost feel sorry for the guy. He's become the poster child for a crisis a lot of people had a hand in, including the American electorate itself.

So far it sounds like additional hearings will be needed because apparently he did not see, hear, or know anything!

Anyone wonder how the deodorant for the NY Fed Chairman is holding up right now? He is under the bus and has to know a summons is in the mail.

It seems like sooner or later someone will get tired of having his life destroyed to protect Zero.

It’s not like this is Ayers or one of Zero’s REAL friends.

Geitner was part of the Federal Reserve, FMae/FMac, he was there the whole time racking up bonuses and payoffs...it was all corrupt and he knew about it. Every bit of it. And ASSISTED in it!

He should be in jail for the theft committed against Americans. Not to mention the tax fraud on his personal finances.

AIG .... and ....Goldman Sach ..... CitiGroup .... Geithner ... Robert Rubin (R.R. btw is life long mentor to Geithner) .... Paulson ... Marc(sp) Patterson of Goldman is NOW Geithner’s chief staff

What we have here are incestuous relationships (a financial good old boys network) partnering with government in high-stakes white-collar crime.

There's a reason some call it Government Sachs.

If he were drowning in the icy waters of the Potomac, my greatest concern would be which f-stop to use.

Either Geitner is a complete total moron and knew nothing about the Fed or he committed perjury before congress and is complicent in theft from the United States Treasury,

ps
He is not a moron. The Bast-— should be arrested and prosecuted.
