If you're watching the Senate hearing, you would have heard this response from the question posed by Senator Clinton. These rat bastards only had one goddamned meeting on this issue before giving their approval.

2. The Undersecretary that was on Lehrer nite before last
said - and more than once- that the committee and spend extra time looking at this company. More than the 30 day regular time period.

So was he just blatantly lying?

3. Obviously so
I believe it was the assistant secretary of the treasury who answered the question...he specifically stated they only met once on the issue.

4. When I saw him on Lehrer I started to wonder what would
come out of his mouth. He was obviously sent to make it sound like the whole thing was no big deal - all carefully vetted. All under control.

They probably llied to him., too.
