Go get 'em, Mark! Notice how the coverage of this little item has gone out of its way to omit Rubin's name? Nada.
Were it not for truth seekers like Levin, Rubin would be able to snake away behind the coattails of JoeLie.

Lieberman is a pious fraud, that's why, and will go to bat for the financial services industry in CT.

A "Citigroup in the nutcracker vise" ping ;-)

If Rubin is called before the Senate commitee, will Sen. Hollings refer to him as "Bobby Boy"?

Good. It is now in National Review. Once it hits the Washington Times and Fox, the other networks will have to say something, even if they hide it in the Saturday evening newscast.

wc- Levin ping.

As to this fine article by holdonnow and the "The Conscience of the Senate", methinks we won't be hearing his whining on the shout shows until this is all over. That should be a day or so. *sigh*

Didn't one of Citigroup's last loans to Enron in 2001 involve converting some of Enron's prior debt to Citi from unsecured to secured? I don't see how that could be anything other than a preference that can be voided. But is it also a fraudulent conveyance? And can the other creditors sue to have the conversion voided?

I just bet that when they finally get to the very, very bottom of all of this you will find Hillary, Bill, Terry and the DNC on the planning pages.

"Furthermore, Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is holding a hearing today on "The Role of the Financial Institutions In Enron's Collapse," has, to the best of my knowledge, not sought Rubin's testimony. (An inquiry I made to Levin's subcommittee asking whether Rubin would be a witness at today's hearing went unanswered.)"

Mark Levin did his usual masterful job of pointing out the inconsistencies of this mess. We can help him out by focusing attention on the Levin hearings. Citicorp is the elephant in the living room at these hearings - sort of hard to ignore a company that size.

Citigroup is one with Travelers Insurance Group. They are both controlled by Sanford Weil. It was Joseph Lieberman and Christopher Dodd who were the prime sponsors of Federal law allowing accounting companies to consult with business to revise the accounting standards that gave the openings exploited by Enron and Worldcom. I note the transaction mentioned occurred in 1999. Pop quiz - who was president in 1999?

Lieberman I guess once more wretled with his conscience and lost.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Citigroup, J.P. Morgan stock slide as woes mount

NEW YORK, July 23 (Reuters) - Shares of Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C - News) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Inc. (NYSE:JPM - News) dropped anew on Tuesday, as concerns grew that the two largest U.S. banking companies may have peddled the type of disguised loans used by bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. (Other OTC:ENRNQ.PK - News) to other firms.

during Enron's final days Rubin played a direct role in attempting to conceal Enron's financial condition from credit-rating agencies. Specifically, on November 8, 2001, Rubin made a telephone call to Peter Fisher, the Treasury Department's undersecretary for domestic finance, seeking Fisher's intervention with Wall Street credit-rating agencies on behalf of Enron when those agencies were about to downgrade Enron's ratings.

PUBLIC ENEMY #1 Robert Rubin (Rube-On 2 U !)

How many trillions are gone so far :->? It ain't even Bush's and Cheney's fault, as we all can clearly see.

Even the NY PoTimesKin agrees ...
