Freshman Congresswoman asks Equifax CEO if he would share his SSN in an open hearing

Care to guess his response?

"Lawrence's Last Word: Freshman Representative Questions Equifax CEO | The Last Word | MSNBC" (Watch on YouTube)

I apologize in advance if the video auto-starts as it did with me.

The CEO's reluctance to disclose his SSN, DOB and address was that he'd suffer identity theft and had done so three times in the last decade. The representative's point was that his company's attorney's were arguing in court to dismiss the class action lawsuit against Equifax that no harm had been done by that exact information being disclosed. She was arguing that he needed to have a long talk with his attorneys and suggest perhaps a realignment in talking points.

The clip came from the Lawrence O'Donnel show on MSNBC.

Were you expecting consistency from a corporation trying to weasel their way out of responsibility?

The only consistent response that I expect back is "Do what I say, not what I do."

I loved that clip when I saw it on Lawrence (for some reason I caught that episode). It's made even better by knowing that the legislator in question is not only a lawyer but used to teach law. A beautiful moment.
