(49,049 posts)" Maxine Waters, then a senior member of the committee and now the Democratic ranking member, asked Robert Khuzami, then the head of enforcement for the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether the entity had sufficient resources to investigate. Khuzami replied that the agencies involved the SEC, the New York AGs office and the Department of Justice were supplying the resources. No new dollars were dedicated to the effort. When Waters asked when the task force would hire an executive director, Khuzami said they hired a coordinator to facilitate inter-agency activity. Specifically, he uttered this incriminating evidence: We hired a coordinator, but most of the investigative work being done here is not really being done by a staff that belongs to the task force, its being done by the individual investigative groups that make up the task force.
