Internal Warnings Sounded on Loans At Fannie, Freddie
The Washington Post ^ | 12/9/08 | Zachary A. Goldfarb

Internal Freddie Mac documents show that senior executives at the company were warned years ago that they were offering mortgages that could pose dangers to the firm, hurt borrowers and generate more risky loans throughout the industry.

...they have described their push into these new areas of the mortgage business as an inevitable consequence of dueling mandates to support affordable housing and maximize profit for shareholders.

Gee, I always thought that their mandate was singular, to create a secondary market for mortgages. Now we get to see the inside dirt and not one Dim will take a fall as a result.

Wow. NBC could be on tonight about this breaking news. Right?
After all, David Gregory's wife is Fannie Mae's VP Chief counsel.

On second thought, NBC and MSM will probably continue to cover this up
for their own internal financial, political-manipulating,
corrupt and pro-terrorist reasons.

Somewhat amusing how all the corruption is just now beginning to see the light of day.

amazingly enough, the Today show had a little piece on fannie and freddie,, and even showed how Raines, Johnson and Gorelick benefitted... but no mention of party affiliation or who they were major donors too..

little by little, maybe the media will finally come around to the realization that their kids could end up in the poorhouse as easily as anyone with dems in power... at least they will know the whos and whys.. their audience will still be scratching their heads tho. ;-)

absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I think it was Freddie's Fannie. Or was it Fannie's Freddie?

“Was it Fannie or Freddie that Bawney Fwank was banging?”

We all know that Bawney Fwank is fond of “fannie” — “Freddie’s fannie”.
