Breaking: Darrell Issa asks for a subpoena in AIG bailout cover-up
I just received this document from an interested reader. It is a request by Congressman Darrell Issa for a subpoena to be issued in order to facilitate the investigation surrounding the AIG cover-up. Apparently, evidence has now surfaced about Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke’s role in the AIG saga that is germane to this issue. This story gets bigger every day.
