The Volokh Conspiracy - Documents Confirm That Paulson Bullied the Banks:

John Hinderaker has some of the documents obtained pursuant to a FOIA Request about how Treasury bullied banks into taking TARP money back in the fall.

The documents were obtained by Judicial Watch, discussion here.

Check out this interesting tidbit from Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request about the bankers meeting on October 16, 2008. After months of stonewalling, a FOIA lawsuit was filed against the Obama Treasury Department on January 27, 2009. Incredibly, on February 4, Treasury responded it had no documents about the historic meeting. Pressure from Judicial Watch forced Treasury to reevaluate its response, which resulted in this document release last month.
