Former New York City Mayor and onetime Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani predicted Friday that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will resign in time.
“I think he will [resign],” Giuliani said on Sean Hannity’s TV show last night. “I think it’s a matter of time, and how they finesse it, and how they explain it, and how they move on.”
“There’s a sense that either nobody’s in charge, or if they are in charge, they don’t know what the right hand’s doing, what the left hand’s doing,” Giuliani added. “At a time like this, you can’t have a Secretary of the Treasury that is someone people don’t have confidence in.”
Giuliani blasted Geithner and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) for a loophole in the stimulus package allowing for the payment of controversial bonuses to AIG executives, which roiled Washington this week.
“This is not just a question of negligence — this was presented to them, they did agree to it,” Giuliani alleged. “And now, all of a sudden, when the thing becomes a big disaster, they’re all trying to run for cover.”
