Lehman Brothers Subpoenas Geithner In JP Morgan Fight
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ) and its creditors late Thursday said they want to subpoena Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to question him under oath over allegations J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) illegally siphoned billions of dollars from the collapsing investment bank in the days before it filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
In a filing accompanying Lehman’s filing, made in U.S. District Court in Washington, Lehman’s official committee of unsecured creditors said Geithner has thus far refused to comply with an Aug. 9, 2011, subpoena, and it wants a court to force Geithner to give a deposition by a March 16 deadline.
“Despite being a crucial fact witness on these issues, Secretary Geithner has refused to appear at a deposition in accordance with a valid subpoena issued by the Committee,” the committee’s lawyers said in the filing. Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of the Lehman collapse.
The Treasury Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The committee said in its filing that it also wants to question then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, but that he too has turned the request down. It said it will handle the Paulson matter separately.
Rest here…

Jail Time is spelled right
Yep we sure are getting a raw deal for our hard earned tax dollars as they (CONgress) continue to steal from us in many direction all day and all night long with their the dirty deeds on humanity, if we said “refused” said no or did “not respond” ( I find this disgusting) what do you think would happen to the slave masses, JAIL TIME plain and simple, these well paid crooks are truly requesting the salve masses to hang them out to dry so to speak. I feel confident many will concur, I do hope Lehman gets a hold (if they leave the tax payers OUT OF IT) of them somehow and mixes the pot as it is getting very very thick to stir now, so much greed, thievery mental duress and murder being shoved on our own people , but spotlights are good on the politicians very very good to show the evil. Yes JAIL THEM NOW!!! It appears they are not thinking anyway so it would be no loss at all from my point of view way down here in crap land. Getting real weary and angered by this ongoing repulsive stance they shove down our throats, get thee behind me satin!!!!! They all belong together in HELL!!!! Oh and isn’t this business as usual for any political and big corp whore, EVERYONE gets SCREWED but John Q public takes the load of abuse as we are not only civilized, peaceful but we are uncontrollably tolerant to our own demise and this is by design but I for one refuse yes as Geithner stated “I REF– USE” your BS!!!! Sue the pant off our illustrious leaders (again keep the tax payer out of it as I feel this is just another way to ROB US (psychobabble economics) uhmmm) .
Well, let’s just see what happens on March 16th….and what about Paulson? wonder how that will play out as well? They all seem to walk away unscathed while the rest of us live in basic poverty….
