...and I can't find what I'm looking for. I found where hypocritexposer had posted this article, but I still didn't find what I was looking for.

Here's an excerpt from that article:
So...on March 3, Geithner was asked about the AIG bonuses at a Congressional hearing. On March 11, he said that he had learned about the bonuses "about a week" earlier. That would coincide with him learning about them on March 3. But...
He claims that he didn't find out about them until...March 10?
It's pretty obvious that Geithner LIED.
And no matter how much I search, I can't find anywhere that you Obama supporters have spoken out against that. :???:

Here's an excerpt from that article:
On March 2, AIG announced both record losses and $30 billion in fresh Treasury aid.
The following day, Mr. Geithner appeared at a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee. Rep. Joseph Crowley, a New York Democrat, asked the secretary about more than $160 million in bonuses that AIG would be paying to financial-products employees "in the coming weeks."
Treasury officials say the AIG problem didn't register with Mr. Geithner at the hearing amid the other issues he faced. Mr. Baker, the Treasury spokesman, acknowledged that information about the financial-products bonuses was "in the public arena...for many months." But, he said, it wasn't until March 10 -- five days before the big batch of retention payments were due -- that department staff spelled out the situation for the secretary.
The following day, March 11, Mr. Geithner, alert to the potential political fallout, called Mr. Liddy to protest the bonus payouts. At a congressional hearing last week, Mr. Liddy described the call as "open and frank."
According to Mr. Liddy's sworn testimony from that hearing, Mr. Geithner indicated on the call that he had learned about the bonus "situation about a week" earlier.
So...on March 3, Geithner was asked about the AIG bonuses at a Congressional hearing. On March 11, he said that he had learned about the bonuses "about a week" earlier. That would coincide with him learning about them on March 3. But...
He claims that he didn't find out about them until...March 10?
