Goldman Sachs CEO Llyod Blankfein appears to have lied to Congress. It's time for a criminal investigation -- and the powerful senator who chaired the panel agrees. Will you urge the Department of Justice to open up an investigation? Just click here. According to the Huffington Post, Carl Levin, chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, will recommend that Goldman executives who testified before his panel, including chairman and chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, be referred to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution, the Michigan Democrat announced Wednesday. Investigators discovered that Goldman traders bragged about selling "shitty" deals to clients and the mega-bank bet against the same financial products it was selling to investors. And they've lied about it all the way to the bank. Let's join Senator Levin's call for accountability. Will you urge the Department of Justice to investigate Blankfein? Just click here. Thanks for demanding justice. -- The Demand Progress team P.S. Now's our moment: We need to hold people accountable if we're going to prevent the sort of abuses that led to the financial collapse.
