Hillary still trying to pretend a bank bailout was instead an auto bailout. This is sheer delusion.https://twitter.com/TheBriefing2016/status/707292347080380416 …
@aquart Well, go ahead and learn what TARP was and what limits it placed on the executive when when you have we can have a conversation.

@emptywheel Is your premise Bernie is off the hook because no one in Congress knew the auto bailout money was coming from TARP? -
@aquart "My premise"? You're the one with "a premise" that the record refutes. Why don't you try to defend it? -
@emptywheel Because I am still struggling to figure out what you are talking about? -
@aquart I've linked a post that links to actual votes, orders, backup. Why don't you ask Hillary propagandists where they see auto bailout? -
@emptywheel I thought my questions were simple but you duck and dodge and I don't know why. Did Congress know auto was in TARP? -
@aquart We just went through this. NOTHING was in TARP. It was carte blanche. -
@emptywheel When you say "nothing," do you mean nothing regarding allocation of funds? -
@aquart Look, when you get outraged that Hillary let Obama snooker her on foreclosure relief, this convo can move forward. - 1 more reply

@emptywheel What do limits on executive have to do with a vote in the legislature? -
@aquart Sorry? You do know that votes in legislature normally, but not in this case, impose limits on exec? Schoolhouse rock and all that? -
@emptywheel Are you saying Obama could allocate TARP funds as he saw fit? -
@aquart Yes. TARP let Treasury allocate TARP as POTUS saw fit. Which is why Obama/Summers letters are key.
