LONDON — Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein has attacked US fraud charges against his investment bank as politically motivated in calls to important clients, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
"He feels that the government is out to kill them, that they are under attack and the whole thing is totally political," one person who received a call told the business daily, adding that he said the action "hurts America".

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has been telling clients in telephone calls that the SEC's case against the bank could "hurt America," the Financial Times reports.
As if the fat cat bankers couldn't be any more disgraceful in their actions effectively threatening to BITE THE HAND THAT FED THEM if they don't get their way, well I'm here to tell you that YOU SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED thats the way Wall Street always operates, rule #1 is WHEN CAUGHT NEVER ADMIT GUILT.
The only reason Goldman Sachs is still alive is because American tax payers were told that if this company and others were to go down our whole economy would go down with it, hurting everybody in the process. But this companies won't even admit that THEY were at fault, they still think this it is a "POLITICAL WITCH HUNT" against them.
This is the same charge the GOP has been trying to make, this also shouldn't surprise you, as you can see the apple never falls too far away from the tree and we already know republicans have been hired by Wall Street as muscle to do their bidding a.k.a basically to spread this baseless charges about the SEC been less than independent and taking orders directly from the WH, also trying to lure democrats into weakening and/or killing Financial Reform.
Memo to Goldman Sachs Executives:
The Financial Reform bill will ensure the American tax payer will NEVER AGAIN bail you out, if justice is ever served there will be a nice prison cell awaiting you so remember not drop the soap and enjoy your hopefully VERY LONG stay.
