hmv

Posted on 09/30/2008 8:11:22 AM PDT by Hillary'sMoralVoid

Per AP, Freddie and Fannie are facing a Grand Jury as a U. S. Attorney's Investigation is underway.

Folks, this is huge! It is now a SCANDAL, the repercussions of which are TEN to TWENTY times the impact of the Enron Scandal!!!

We need to write to the editors of our newspapers and publicize this every way possible. Of course, we need to trace the money path through Dodd, Frank and company, directly to the annoited one.

Get excited, this is great news!

>>I’m not holding my breath.

The MSM has no reason to even discuss this, since it won’t help Obama get elected.<<

The MSM are even more irrelevant than four years ago. They couldnt save Rather from the Pajamahadin and they couldn’t save Kerry from the Swift Boat Vets.

And now we have youtube.

This is gonna be fun.

There have been a lot of new releases about this the past 24 hours. It's just not quite on the front page yet (if ever).

Freddy & Fanny get subpoenaed

I think when Raines tells a COngressional committee, like he did 3 years ago, that these mortgage derivitives are “riskless” it’s a fraud and a crime.

"The bad news is that the investigation will be conducted by congress with Fwank and Dodd chairing the committee doing the investing."

A federal grand jury is doing the investigation.

"The government investigation focuses on activities starting in 2007, Freddie Mac said in a statement"

Freddie Mac said. That could be a bit of misdirection, and the investigators may be looking at other, earlier time periods, as well. The political and financial fog is very thick, pay very close attention to *WHO* says *WHAT*.

I hate to bust anyone’s bubble but they're not going to find anything. The FBI stated yesterday that they subpoena records all the way back to 2007. 2007!!!! Two years ago. Wow. It will be nothing more than, “there was some mismanagement but no laws were broken”. I wish they just save the cost of this make believe investigation and add it to the $700B they need.

“The political and financial fog is very thick, pay very close attention to *WHO* says *WHAT*.”

Do we know who the US Attorney is who is working on this? I don’t trust many these days.

Exactly, there will a lot of hearings. People saying “ we couldn’t have predicted the future”. It’s a just a show, nothing will come of this.
