Is this allegation Paula son’ fig leaf or real deal? Or it could be both.

If Paulson is saying it, it’s a lie.
What’s he saying anyway...ah it’s something that would get him off the hook. Imagine that.

Why is he crazy? Who in their right mind would do anything to help prop up the United States house of cards these days? Propping up this idiocy is crazy.

The bonds should have some real value, independent of instant market conditions (there should be some underlying assets). If that real value is above the market price, any entity which tries to dump the bonds will lose money. If the real value is above the market price, dumping the bonds will cause the market to acknowledge reality.
I see no benefit to the public at large from having people pretend that financial assets are worth more than they are. If anything, keeping the market propped up serves to conceal any wrongdoing (and there's certainly been a fair amount of that) until crooks have a chance to get away with their ill-gotten gains.

Thanks to Obama and Pelosi, the Russian-Chinese alliance will have even more leverage if they want to go for it in 2011 or 2012.

If it happened, I’m sure that Paulson privately alerted Goldman Sachs so they could increase their shorts.

They shouldn't have needed prodding to dump those worthless bonds!

The Russian selloff may have been a trial balloon. Had it been felt that the US economy would have had a chance to completly collapse, the Chinese would have followed suit.
BTW the Russians hold about 200 billion of our national debt.
