Sanders Vs. Geithner: 'Why Haven't You Fired Blankfein?'

SANDERS DROPS THE F BOMB -- FRAUD BY GOLDMAN

This Senate exchange occurred in February 2009, one day after the Sanders-Bernanke tussle I posted this morning. Bernie has two bailout questions for Geithner and the weasely bastard evades them both, repeatedly. He wants to know why Lloyd Blankfein hasn't been fired (you'll hear why), and he wants to know which banks were beneficiaries of at least $2.2 trillion in secret loans from the Federal Reserve.

And don't skip the last 15 seconds when Sanders mentions criminal behavior and Goldman 'pushing and selling fraudulent paper.' This was at least 2 years before we ever heard anything about Fabrice Tourre and those 'shitty, shitty deals' from Goldman Sachs, so Sanders is ahead of the curve here.

Yes, this was actually the headline:

How Goldman Sachs Created 'Shitty' CDOs, Sold Them To AIG, Forced AIG Into Bankruptcy, Got A $20 Billion Bailout, Paid Themselves Billions In Bonuses, And Watched As Tim Geithner Covered It All Up

DB posted a pix of the Las Vegas convention of cops there to maintain control after the voters got fucked by Hillz and the DNC. The most interesting part is that college students could not attend as the event was scheduled on GRADUATION DAY.

From Bernie Sanders Supporters, Death Threats Over Delegates

Thrown chairs. Leaked cellphone numbers. Death threats spewed across the Internet.

No, this is not the work of Donald J. Trump supporters, some of whom have harassed critics of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. It was angry supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders who were directing their ire at the Nevada Democratic Party — and its chairwoman, Roberta Lange — over a state convention on Saturday that they think was emblematic of a rigged political system.
