“New York Democrat Chuck Schumer said the Treasury nominee has an ‘uncanny ability to delve into a subject’ and ‘master it.’ Americans can only hope, because you wouldn’t know it based on the little that Mr. Lew claims to have known about what happened during his tenure at Citigroup from 2006-2008. He was a senior executive at the giant failing bank before and during the financial crisis, but he gave the impression he was there mostly to cash a paycheck. When Orrin Hatch ticked off the problems that afflicted the two Citi divisions that Mr. Lew oversaw as chief operating officer, the nominee seemed to know less about them than Mr. Hatch.”
