Of course. This is all about Obama trying to show the left-wing base that he is not in the pocket of the banks.
Not true of course but this is just a short-term scheme cooked up by the WH and likely GS itself to try to light a fire under left-wing activists in advance of Nov.
The Banks must not be giving the Obamaites enough of the Vig, and this civil action is a way to extort more out of them. If Goldman is “guilty as charged”, then those responsible and who knowingly profited should be thrown into a ditch and shot (after a fair trial of course, like with KSM).
