“Congress doesn't have a right to be basically accusing my client of failing by not negotiating transactions on behalf of the company or pushing the computer buttons and sharpening the pencils.”
“Congress has taken her opinion -- and they know it's simply opinion -- and dressed it up as fact, and presented it to the American people as fact. And that, in our view, is really irresponsible, because the American people begin believing that someone's unfounded view or opinion is factual, and it causes a lot of confusion.”
“You may have very strategic knowledge of what's going on. You may have good knowledge of budget or budgeting process. It doesn't mean when someone structures the transactions, you get there and roll the sleeves and sharpen the pencil, do the pricing and negotiate the derivatives and sales. That is what the issues seem to be, and nobody expects the CEO to do that.”
