ANSWER: Because Barney Frank, Charles Schumer, and Dick (Turban) Durbin say so. ____________________________________________________________ "Geithner is the right man for the job weather you agree or not." ____________________________________________________________ Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told CNSNews.com: “I think he is a very, very fine nominee and I think, while he admitted these were mistakes, and I think he will be confirmed.” “No, I don’t think” Geithner should be disqualified, said Rep. Barney Frank (D.Mass.). Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told CNSNews.com: “No, I don’t” think this is a problem “and I’ll tell you why. I think he received advice from accountants, which turned out to be wrong. It seems like an innocent mistake – no conscious effort to try to avoid paying taxes. He made good on his tax liability as quickly as he learned and the situation with the domestic who worked there [and whose green card expired]. It seems to be that there was a change in her legal status for a few months and it is not something where you would assume he would know that--so I don’t. I think these were errors but innocent errors.” cnsnews.com
