Part two of Elizabeth Warren's grilling of Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf. The person Warren refers to at the start is Carrie Tolstedt, the Wells Fargo senior executive who managed the scheme. by Gaius PubliusI want to revisit the testimony of John Stumpf, Wells Fargo CEO, before the Senate Banking Committee, even though it was covered in these pages here.

Save me. #LOUS4POTUS. The threat to our republic that Hillary Clinton poses exceeds and transcends anything that the mere and feeble human mind can possibly and adequately comprehend.
