Of all the vast causes in the web of the difficulties that brought down the economy in 2008, no area, I think, is more complex than the areas that you have been charged to oversee, derivatives; not Fannie Mae, not Freddie Mac, not pick-a-pay mortgages, not the activities of Countrywide.
Himes discusses the complexity of derivatives in the 2008 economic crisis.

I try to be nuanced and subtle, but there’s no other word than to say that the president lied to the American public — bald-faced, 180-degrees wrong, easily disprovable lies.
The right thing to do is for the White House to say tonight that Bill Pulte will not be DNI, and we pass 702 probably with more Democrats and a stronger bipartisan vote.
What you have is somebody who is so demented that they are either wittingly or unwittingly participating in a coup d’état.
The only right answer here... is that the President says, you know, 'oops, that was a mistake,' and pulls the Bill Pulte appointment.
