We are still waiting. Half a billion dollars of taxpayer money is gone and $75 million subordinated – putting the taxpayers in the backseat as secondary creditors. It is important that the White House quit stonewalling and give us information important to the investigation. The American people need to know who knew what and when they knew it. Unfortunately, it appears a subpoena is the only way to get this information.� VIDEO: Congressman Griffith’s Opening Statement in the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Business Meeting
