Hopefully, this investigation will be thorough, and will make a strong connection between a few of the crooks on the left side of the aisle and Freddie/Fannie. There's some serious stones that need turning there!

Trust me, the “report findings” will not be issued until Nov 5th or there after.
They may also want to add this to their investigation:
.....
This is interesting (from you last link):
The Obama campaign had anticipated the Chicago Machine card would be played in the campaign and the candidate, himself, noted earlier this year that he felt he had done well in rising politically “without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics.”
Still, Obama has been faulted by some progressives for his quiet approach and for not forcefully supporting the reform primary challenge of Forrest Claypool to then-incumbent Cook County Board President John Stroger, who was backed by the city’s leading Democrats. William Daley, the brother of Mayor Richard Daley, is an economic adviser to Obama. He is Midwest chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and previously was president of SBC Communications Inc. He also was Commerce secretary in the Clinton White House and a leading administration salesman for the North American Free Trade Agreement that Obama has vowed to restructure. Earlier, Daley was a Clinton appointee to the board of now discredited mortgage giant Fannie Mae....
But Obama last week did contact Jones and asked the state Senate president to call a vote on a bipartisan ethics bill that had stalled because of changes made by Blagojevich—a move critics contended was aimed at killing the measure....
The phone call was largely seen as a pre-emptive move by Obama to prevent a stall on Illinois ethics legislation involving Jones from exploding onto the national stage.
Add Daley to Raines and Johnston in the Fannie Mae mess. Throw Emil Jones under the bus, temporarily — but he won’t really mind — if Obama makes it to the Whitehouse — Chicago goes national!

Whatever comes of this, I bet money the above will not be part of it. The establishment will not indict itself.
