Timothy Geithner to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee about his role in the AIG bailout

It appears that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has more than just tax evasion problems. He could be a much bigger criminal than just a tax cheat. While he was in charge of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the bank was told to withhold details from the public about AIG’s payments of bailout funds to the banks.

Timothy Geithner claims that he had no knowledge of what was going on right under his nose, and that he was not responsible for the coverup that AIG and Goldman Sachs, along with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, seemed to have been engaged in.

I am not going to sit here and pretend that I understand what all of this means, but it appears as if billions of AIG’s bailout money was diverted to Goldman Sachs, and I do know one thing– this is something that has to be investigated. We are talking about billions and billions of taxpayers dollars and the American people need to know who is responsible for this scandal.

And we are going to get the investigation that we deserve. Timothy Geithner is going to be called to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee about his role– or non-role– in the bailout of AIG.
