7. He "blasts" the big banks but says nothing about who he hired
that made the rip-off possible.
Not a word about how the Fed and Treasury conspired to make it happen, not a word about how
Geithner lied and covered up the AIG deal and failed to practice oversight when he was head of the
NT Fed bank....
Nope...just a slight of hand that points to the "big banks".
No honor among thieves, indeed.
