Levin threatens Goldman execs to start talking

Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) warned Goldman Sachs executives appearing before his committee that he would buffet their plan to stonewall senators' questions by keeping them at the witness table until he and other members were satisfied with their answers. 

"It [the stonewalling] is not going to work," he said. "We will stay here for as long as it takes." 

Since the question-and-answer period of the hearing began, witnesses have repeatedly acted confused by the questions posed by senators and asked for them to be repeated several times. In most cases, the senators have become frustrated and moved on to other questions, which also were not answered.
