Geithner’s Other Ad Hominem Attacks on Barofsky

Posted on May 12, 2014 by William Black | 7 Comments

By William K. Black

In my first article on Timothy Geithner’s book entitled “Stress Test” I exposed the revealing and disgusting nature of his bizarre ad hominem attack on Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (SIGTARP) for the great sin of providing his law enforcement officers (LEOs) with side arms and protective vests – an action any responsible leader of SIGTARP would make a priority. In this second article I discuss very briefly his other two ad hominem attacks on Barofsky and his staff.

Geithner Damns Barofsky for Lack of Expertise

This attack constitutes further proof of our family rule that it is impossible to compete with unintentional self-parody. Geithner complains:

“Barofsky’s desire to prevent perfidy was untainted by financial knowledge or experience.”

How dare those law officers dealing with the banksters equip themselves with standard law enforcement tools. It's uncouth, I tell you.
