Kucinich Grills Ken Lewis on Fed Emails

Former Bank of America CEO, Ken Lewis, testified June 11, 2009 to congress about the BOA’s merger with Merrill Lynch. During the hearing Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, challenged Lewis to be more forthcoming about his dealings with the Federal Reserve during the merger. Specifically Kucinich cited emails from Fed officials saying Lewis had asked government officials to provide a letter saying that they had in fact ordered Lewis to merge with the struggling financial firm, Merrill Lynch, because Lewis feared lawsuits from company shareholders if the merger led to company losses. Lewis said he did not recall asking for such a letter. After the hearing Kucinich told reporters that Lewis testimony could put the former CEO in legal jeopardy.

    Ken Lewis is a thief, pure & simple. He & all his executive flunkies are so polluted with greed they cannot function without stealing & gambling away stolen cash. Lewis & his exec slutters have completely wiped out the life savings & incomes of millions of innocent, hard-working families. And why? I mean, they really don’t need more money since they’re already rich on ill-gotten stolen cash. The only explanation then remains they’re degenerate gamblers, betting the whole wad on one hand of BJ.

    The only problem is, Mr. Kucinich under the banksters, he would be a dead man.
    Soros, Rothschild, and several others control the monetary needs for them selves when needed.
    In short, Mr. President is just a puppet along others to serve the Banksters.
