Hank Paulson Belongs in Jail - Shut Goldman Sachs Down NOW

Editor's Note: The New York Times just did a piece about how Hank Paulson "may" have violated some ethics rules. "May" is not the right word, because in the very article there is the piece below which shows King Henry was secretively speaking with Lord Blankfein BEFORE he received an ethics waiver.

Wake Up America!

On the morning of Sept. 16, 2008, the day the A.I.G. rescue was announced, Mr. Paulson’s calendars show that he took a call from Mr. Blankfein at 9:40 a.m. Mr. Paulson received the ethics waiver regarding contacts with Goldman between 2:30 and 3 the next afternoon. According to his calendar, he called Mr. Blankfein five times that day. The first call was placed at 9:10 a.m.; the second at 12:15 p.m.; and there were two more calls later that day. That evening, after taking a call from President Bush, Mr. Paulson called Mr. Blankfein again.

When the Treasury secretary reached his office the next day, on Sept. 18, his first call, at 6:55 a.m., went to Mr. Blankfein. That was followed by a call from Mr. Blankfein. All told, from Sept. 16 to Sept. 21, 2008, Mr. Paulson and Mr. Blankfein spoke 24 times.

At the height of the financial crisis, Mr. Paulson spoke far more often with Mr. Blankfein than any other executive, according to entries in his calendars.

    I just wish the NY Times would be intellectually honest and chase out both heads of the GS monster. For the NY Times its always about pin-the-tail on the Republican. Yes, Paulson is an anti-capitalist, big government crook. Yet, Paulson gave to Democrats too over the years. Moreover a lot of Goldman is Democrats and got Obama elected. Paulson's horrible decisions also helped to ensure Obama was elected. But Paulson ain't around anymore. So why won't the NY Times focus on NOW. Goldman is running wild on Wall Street right now under Obama and the Democrats. All of Goldman needs to be kicked out from government.
