[lbo-talk] B of A's giant nuts

[Chuck Grimes]

BofA CEO Ken Lewis and  the bank's lawyers apparently thought it would
be hilarious to pile  literally every e-mail that passed through their
server onto the  representative's desk. After sifting through the 70,000
pages of  documents, Towns indicated his displeasure in a letter to the
CEO on  Friday. "You responded to this request by providing hundreds of
pages  of unrelated, extraneous information," he wrote.

Tactics like that I think are often used. I think its foolish. You can
hire temps on a nightshift. So that means its ultimately just a delay
and there is s risk, you just handed over the case. Here are a couple of
paragraphs of the Towns letter:

``On top of the bank’s refusal to provide the Committee with documents
pertaining to legal advice on the BOA-Merrill Lynch merger, BOA flooded
the Committee with thousands of pages of irrelevant or redacted
documents...

I want to make it clear that I will exercise all authority at my
disposal under Rules X and XI of the Rules of the House of
Representatives to compel production. Before resorting to these further
measures, however, I am hereby renewing my request that you deliver all
of the relevant records, without redaction, no later than 12:00 noon,
Monday September 21. 2009....''

The letter is cc'd to the honorable Darrell Issa, ranking minority
member. But nevermind slimebag Issa. The majority co-chair is Dennis
Kucinich.
