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.”
