Rahm Emanuel Tightens Grip On Treasury Department / Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

On Jan. 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner took over as Obama's Secy of the Treasury. Within three weeks, the obama White House tightened its grip by putting Obama's COS--Rahm Emanuel in charge of Treasury---an unusual move.

Since then, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been so involved in the workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" has become an unofficial mantra among some govt staff employed at the Treasury, according to government officials..

I believe it was my first post on this particular scandal ~ here's one on May 16, 2013 at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3020140/posts Not a whole lot of Freeper interest then ~ handful of posts. But on May 13, 2013 I had already named Geitner as the big target at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3019062/posts?page=19 and again here on May 13 ~ with my best post yet "but what if they were unaware and it was actually Tim Geithner siccing his goons on the TEAParty ~ he's already got a public record as a tax cheat, and a guy who'd do that would mess around misusing public agencies.
