Tim was already under the bus, "aspirationally." it was just a matter of time.

Yet another incendiary story about nothing. These people are just consultants; they help to answer nuts-and-bolts questions about the functioning of Wall Street. THere is absolutely no conflict here in itself.

It's like discovering --- Oh, my G-d! -- that a lawyer you have hired is also paid by other clients. So what?

I thought it was the other way around.

Geithner aides made millions on Wall Street; Treasury ‘counselors’ escaped Senate hearings...

Financial disclosure forms show that prior to joining the government, Gene Sperling, a senior Treasury adviser, was paid $887,727 by Goldman Sachs and $158,000 for speeches to companies that included Stanford Group, the company run by Sir Allen Stanford, who has since been charged with fraud.

Lewis Alexander, another adviser, was chief economist to Citigroup before joining the administration; he was paid $2.4m in the last two years.

Previous releases of disclosure forms revealed the $5.2m paid to Lawrence Summers, chief economic adviser to the White House, by DE Shaw, the hedge fund, in the two years before he joined the administration.
