FORMER FEDS NOW WORKING ON WALLSTREET?

Tune in to the Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC at 4pm ET for an exclusive look at the transcripts of meetings of top Fed officials during the financial crisis from 2007-2010.

As I told you on Friday, the Huffington Post and the Dylan Ratigan Show got some significant internal documents from the Federal Reserve.  We’ll be releasing them at 4pm on my show, on the Huffington Post, and at DylanRatigan.com.  They gave us the transcripts of certain internal meetings from 2007-2010, the meetings where their top officials planned their response to the gathering crisis (these are known as Federal Open Market Committee meetings, or FOMC).  Willingly giving away documents isn’t how the Fed typically operates, especially documents that might point to serious management problems within the central bank.  They are known as a tight-knit bank-friendly super-secret agency.

Is the Fed finally coming clean?

After all, recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has engaged in a public relations campaign to improve the image of his vaunted Fed.  The central banker has lectured to college students, gone on a media outreach campaign, and even opened a twitter account.  New York Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley has also gone out of his way to introduce his part of the system to the public.  The New York Fed has opened up its research team to the world with a new blog.

  My friend, Bloomberg reporter Mike Dorning, writes:
