White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and longtime Jamie Dimon acquaintance decides not to speak at the JPMorgan (JPM) board meeting this morning, apparently cowed by a NY Times article that highlighted Dimon's sway on the Hill. Tim Geithner also declined, citing concerns he would appear 'too cozy' with the bank.

It's a massive outrage--hopefully, Americans will finally react when the next crash hits this fall due to the jumbo loans, credit cards, and commercial real estate defaults: why aren't those boys telling us about this? They must be building their bomb-proof chalets somewhere in Switzerland!
