Judd Gregg Hired By Goldman Sachs As International Advisor
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/27/judd-gregg-hired-by-goldm_n_868282.html

NEW YORK -- With Goldman Sachs' latest high-profile hire, the Wall Street giant is unlikely to shake its Government Sachs nickname or the reputation for exerting undue influence in Washington that it implies.

Goldman announced Friday that it had named three-term Sen. Judd Gregg an international adviser to the bank. The New Hampshire Republican will "provide strategic advice to the firm and its clients, and assist in business development initiatives across our global franchise," Goldman said in a statement.

"Judd Gregg's experience and insight will contribute significantly to our firm and our continuing focus on supporting economic growth," said Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman's chairman and CEO.

"A strong financial sector is critical to our nation and one of the key engines of job creation in our country," said Gregg, who was the ranking Republican on the Appropriations; Banking; Housing and Urban Affairs; and Health Education Labor and Pensions Committees. "I hope that I can bring to Goldman Sachs some ideas and perspectives that will help the firm continue to be a leader in supporting its clients in their pursuit of the capital, credit and advice they need to be successful."

5. I remember this from 2008
In the Senate, Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) was the leading Republican author of the TARP program while he had a multi-million dollar investment in the Bank of America.<70><71>
