		<description>For months, Mr. Rattner&#8217;s lawyers have been engaged in protracted  settlement discussions with both the New York attorney general and the  Securities and Exchange Commission over his conduct in the case.

What do you guys think about this statement?

		<description>&lt;b&gt;...&lt;/b&gt;Back in 1985, Frank had engaged the services of a male escort named Stephen Gobie, who had advertised his &quot;hot bottom&quot; in a personal ad. Over the next two years, while Frank was trying to decide whether to come out, he and Gobie carried on a clandestine affair, during which time Frank hired Gobie as a driver despite knowing Gobie was on probation for drug possession and for possession of child pornography. Frank used his House privileges to fix Gobie&#039;s parking tickets. He wrote a memo trying to clear Gobie from probation that was disingenuous at best and an outright deception at worst. Gobie repaid Frank by running a prostitution service out of Frank&#039;s Capitol Hill apartment. When Frank discovered this, he fired Gobie and ended their relationship. Then, in 1989, just two years after Frank&#039;s announcement that he was gay, Gobie told his story to the conservative &lt;em&gt;Washington Times&lt;/em&gt;.
There was an immediate public outcry. Frank confirmed the basic details of his relationship with Gobie and the financial and other favors he&#039;d done, but he angrily denied he&#039;d been aware that Gobie had gone into business for himself in Frank&#039;s apartment. Even so, it was an astonishing act of indiscreet self-indulgence, especially for the stiff-necked ethics scold who&#039;d shown no pity for the various Abscam defendants. Even Frank&#039;s closest Massachusetts friends were shaken. And &lt;em&gt;The Boston Globe&lt;/em&gt; called for Frank to resign, so as to spare the voters the pain of having to confront his sex life in the voting booth.
Instead, Frank admitted what he&#039;d done, denied what he hadn&#039;t, and took his case to the House ethics committee, which recommended a reprimand by the full House, a lesser penalty than the censure that had been requested in a motion by a notorious back-bench bomb thrower named Newt Gingrich. The punishment was handed down in 1990.
Frank set out to rehabilitate  himself. He declined the &lt;em&gt;Globe&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s invitation and ran ferociously for reelection in 1990, winning with 66 percent of the vote. He worked doggedly at legislation. Moreover, he found a kind of power in his unique position. When Republican aides began circulating rumors that then Speaker Thomas Foley was gay, Frank called in the press and said that, if the whispers didn&#039;t stop, he would publicly out any Republican member whom he knew to be gay. The whispers stopped.
&quot;I honestly don&#039;t know if I&#039;d have done it,&quot; he says, citing a moment in Gore Vidal&#039;s political drama, &lt;em&gt;The Best Man&lt;/em&gt;, in which two politicians talk about blackmailing someone who&#039;s gay. Frank recalls one of them saying: &quot; `I wasn&#039;t telling you to do it, you stupid bastard. I was telling you to threaten to do it.&#039;&quot; &lt;b&gt;...&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2005/10/02/to_be_frank/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2005/10/02/to_be_frank/&lt;/a&gt; </description>
