State and federal authorities on Thursday charged former Obama administration car czar Steven Rattner with participating in a “pay-for-play” scheme to win business from New York state’s pension fund, and sought more than $30 million in penalties.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sued Rattner for $26 million and sought to ban him from working on Wall Street permanently. Rattner, meanwhile, agreed to settle a suit brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission by paying $6.2 million and accepting a two-year ban from Wall Street.
Spinner – Co-founder - Bloomberg took most of his money out in 2009 – Spinner went to work at the WH in 2010 – no time to check the month – don’t know if either are connected. (I wonder where Spinners wife works, when one reviews the Podesta’s, Rangels, Feinsteins, Pelosi’s et al, we know it’s all in the family:

In 2000, Carlyle entered into a joint venture with Riverstone Holdings, an energy and power focused private equity firm founded by former Goldman Sachs investment bankers.

In September 2007, Mubadala Development Company, an investment vehicle for the government of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates, purchased a 7.5% stake for $1.35 billion.[9]

Good info. Lost of bribery with these corrupt bastards. Carlyle – bribery, Sieman’s bribery (6 or 11 board members). The previous NY attorney general was after them, but got caught with a hooker and had to resign, everyone knew it was the bankers. Pensions/IRA’s, that’s about all the money, we the people have left, and these robber barons are the guardians!! Lehman’s has always bothered me...I tracked the execs. They started their own companies which were all conveniently successful within a year or two almost as if they had inside info. One of them is Apollo Management (they like that name). Blackstone (another interesting name...even more interesting is how in almost every article it’s clarified as to why they chose it) and Apollo are linked insofar as I remember. One of them is a board member of Drum Major in Harlem where Clinton set up his office. Hillary’s been there and most politicians/union biggies in NYC. Their previous director is an assistant of Bloomberg - the same director who texted something nasty about Sarah Palin...don’t remember what it was about. If you track the Clinton administration you’ll find they’re on every board, big business, UN, big projects, big ivy league administrators, boards, etc., and if they’re not there, they’re in government, making laws for us to follow. Hillary didn’t fail in the health care deal...she got Managed Care which opened the door, then Romney got it done in his state. The treaties that have been signed by most presidents, that we don’t even know about, is shameful. Nixon signed a treaty to the effect that overpopulation was a security threat. When he resigned, he continued to work with the Chinese and one can’t help but wonder if there was a cold war. Clintons major deals - environment/green, “conservation” of our land, lift glass-steagll, homosexuals in the military and schools, rearranged the treasury. When Glass-Steagll was lifted, Reuben was at a desk in Citi-bank as the CEO. We’re dealing with cheats, liars, and ….They have a template which has been followed for eons. They’ve gotten away with bloody murder and it’s imperative we nail them on this one.
