[[Matt Taibbi analyzes the testimony of Lloyd Blankfein and other
Goldman executives before the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations,
chaired by Carl Levin of Michigan. Taibbi carefully documents enough
detail to conclude that:
“This isn't just a matter of a few seedy guys stealing a few bucks.
This is America: Corporate stealing is practically the national
pastime, and Goldman Sachs is far from the only company to get away
with doing it. But the prominence of this bank and the high-profile
nature of its confrontation with a powerful Senate committee makes
this a political story as well. If the Justice Department fails to
give the American people a chance to judge this case — if Goldman
skates without so much as a trial — it will confirm once and for all
the embarrassing truth: that the law in America is subjective, and
crime is defined not by what you did, but by who you are.”
