A five-month McClatchy Newspaper investigation reveals how Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs peddled billions of dollars in shaky securities tied to subprime mortgages on unsuspecting pension funds, insurance companies and other investors, then dumped its risky investments and placed secret bets against the housing market right before the mortgage bubble burst. Somehow, among Wall Street investment firms, only Goldman Sachs knew that the housing market was about to crash! Is it merely a coincidence that Goldman Sachs President and CEO Henry (“Hank”) Paulson happened to be serving as US Treasury Department Secretary while this was going on???? The same Henry Paulson who threatened certain congressmen with MARTIAL LAW if they didn’t pass the TARP last October.

TREASON!
Goldman knew because they aren’t a bunch of stupid lemmings like the people that pay attention to this garbage.
Edward Liddy resigned from the Goldman Sachs Board of Directors on September 23, 2008, to become the CEO of AIG. The bailout bill passed Congress less than 2 weeks later! Liddy then decided to resign on May 21, 2009.
Talk about blatant, obnoxious, and devious scum!
