Meet Seth Carpenter - Janet Yellen's Choice Of "Fed Leak" Scapegoat
With the "above the law" Federal Reserve coming under increasing pressure to answer a Senate investigation's questions about the 2012 "leak", it appears the proximity of the probe to Janet Yellen, has forced The Fed to 'fess up and throw someone under the bus. Meet Seth Carpenter, a nominee for assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets...
As The Wall Street Journal reports, probes into the 2012 leak of sensitive Federal Reserve policy information are widening further, with a Senate committee scrutinizing a former Fed official nominated for a position in the Obama administration.
The Senate Finance Committee has been looking into whether the official, a Treasury Department nominee who worked as a top Fed economist at the time of the leak, relayed market-sensitive information from the Fed to policy research firm Medley Global Advisors, which in turn shared the details with its Wall Street clients, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Senate committee is looking into whether Seth Carpenter, a nominee for assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets, played a role in the 2012 leak. The panel is charged with approving nominees to senior-level positions at the Treasury Department.
A person familiar with the matter said Thursday Mr. Carpenter has told the Treasury Department he never had any contact with anyone at Medley. The person added that even before the nomination, both the Treasury and the White House looked into whether Mr. Carpenter was involved, including reviewing the findings of the Fed’s inspector general, and found no evidence linking him to the leak.
Mr. Carpenter didn’t respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Spokesmen for the Fed and White House declined to comment on the Senate inquiry.
The Fed conducted its own investigation in late 2012 and early 2013 that found a “few” Fed staffers had contact with Medley, according to a memo summarizing the investigation, but it didn’t identify the people. The Fed has said it was unable to determine who provided information to Medley. Mr. Carpenter hasn't been accused of being the source of the leak.
The spokeswoman wouldn’t say if the committee’s review of the leak has stalled Mr. Carpenter’s nomination. It has been more than a year since Mr. Obama tapped Mr. Carpenter for the position, and the committee has yet to schedule a hearing on the nomination.
Mr. Carpenter “is going through the same bipartisan nomination process as every nominee referred to the Finance Committee,” said spokeswoman Julia Lawless.

Whether or not Mr Carpenter is guilty, we wish him luck.
What better scapegoat... Republicans get to claim the scalp of an Obama nominee; and The Fed gets to point to lower level staff - not Janet - as the problem and will, we are sure, begin to firm up internal controls over sensitive information.

Sure looks like he's sucked a few dicks.
I’m sure my Goat is smarter than this “scapegoat” and his employer. ;-)
Looney
P.S. Oh, and my Goat is black, so please no raccisss jokes ;-)
Seth can now look forward to spending a life of luxury in the same posh neighborhood as Scooter Libby, former Dick Cheney fall guy.
Proof of diverstiy. Thought it woulda been a white Conservative Republican Tea Party card carrying NRA Christian guy
"At times," he says, "it is a bit uncomfortable being one of a very few black economists at the Board of Governors--you could count them on one hand and still snap your fingers--but most of the time I'm too busy to notice. As a professor, some students have reacted to me as a function of race, but I see these moments as an opportunity to teach, not just economics, but life."
The path from French and Law to Economics has been a gradual one for Carpenter. "There wasn't any watershed moment, the transition was very incremental over a long period of time." However it happened, Seth Carpenter is clearly thrilled to be where he is, doing what he does. "I find working for the Fed, promoting the economic well-being of Americans, a very rewarding job. I get to do research that I'm interested in, of course, but there is also a great sense of public service, one that is shared by many of my colleagues, and I value that highly."

Like they would ever blame a jew when they have a lapdog affirmative action kneegrow right there.....
If you're brown...you're going down!!
if he works for the Fed then he's already guilty of a whole lotta shit.
END THE FED!
"Said spokeswoman Julia Lawless"
Perfect name for a Government spokesperson..........
Josh Earnest.
I can't believe they chose a darkie...
The black man always gets killed first in any horror movie. It's the law.
If you're brown...you're going down!!
That's exactly how Ron Brown got that .44 caliber hole in his skull from "a piece of flying rebar in the airplane".....
Back up the hearst, I found another one run over, looks like he tried to sprint across rather than wait for the bus to pass, poor feller, the space between his legs was doubled and his balls were squished, oh it was messy site indeed. Not the first time he was in trouble, but this was grusome camper trying to get back to his tent for some reason, he won't try that again.
Sure looks like he's sucked a few dicks.
Sure looks like the cray cray that went shooty shooty up in Oregon, minus the glasses and with a beard.
Check this out - Paris train attack 'hero' was to attend Oregon college on day of shooting.
nice well-trimmed prison pussy Seth! might come in handy...
That's Don "no soul" Simmons!
Nice AWOTM reference!
princeton educated piece of shit. thesis advisor = bernanke.
to be sure, they feathered a nice little nest for him to land in.
It's unfair that just a handful of HFT's got the inside scoop leaving the other HFT's to bid within 30 milliseconds. I'll wait for the Sunday paper to tell me what they decided and adjust my portfolio then.
The treasury spokes person is Ms Lawless? R U FN KIDDING ME
I guess he will just have to join a wall street firm now that his cover is blown
perfect skin tone to be a goat
Please enough already. No more minorities - and ffs no more micro identity groups like this half breed queer.
one parasite insulting another?
We are fortunate to have a Federal Reserve that has only "potentially" leaked information one time that profited others unfairly.
That haircut tells you something about where this guy wants to wind up. Goldman Sachs or the Bighouse.
Give him a pair of square Urkel glasses and a ticket to Oregon and you'd have to close every college in the state for fear of a two-fer.
Man the comments make Scooby laugh.

lol. If you look up accountability and Janet Yellens name on any "search engine" at the same time, you're likely to get the " blue screen of death" as your search result.
Seriously, the Janitor of some outsourced company that mops the halls of the N.Y. Fed, has more " legal exposure" then the secrecy clause signing asshats that report to Janet "Moe Howard" Yellen.
It took 2 1/2 years to know the black guy was going to be killed off?

Maybe he should have been competent in the first place, instead of somebodies bitch.
Give the nigga a cookie, Janet.
Janet blurted it out during a spanking session.
Somewhat OT but a huge percentage of this corrupt crowd of Zionists display mild eye strabismus. In a mild case your eyes are just off kilter and it common among fetal alcohol. I have noticed it in well over two dozen of Zionist banking types. The moral of the story is don't drink when your pregnant you may create a banker.
What it looks like when it's mild. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=eye+strabismus&iax=1&ia=images&iai=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-SNoLJg7_-dA%2FUAn_EY3kvzI%2FAAAAAAAACfs%2FZUFkGsf3nRk%2Fs1600%2Fprinc_rm_photo_of_boy_with_lazy_eye.jpg
i should've known the leak would be a white nigger.
Must be a real problem when the Administration finds itself runnng out of white male scapegoats.
And the bills for cleaning and repairing all those buses... Goodness.
No wonder the Treasury is out of money a month earlier than planned.
But of course, the witchhunt must be swift. We shall punish the evildoers that ruined our glorious economy of the People's Republic of the United States. Yay for trial by jury and evidence. Yay for justice. Yay for freedom.
Let the Witchhunt commence!
And another goy gone
And another goy gone
Another goy bites the dust...
Wait! There's a mistake! She was supposed to pick a middle class white Christian!
Maybe there were none left?
Blame it on the black guy, what's new?
