Sen Dodd releases Countrywide papers
Hartford Courant ^ | Feb 2, 2009 | Rick Green

Posted on 02/02/2009 11:31:43 AM PST by BillyBonebrake

With pressure growing on him to act, U.S. Sen Christopher Dodd Monday morning allowed reporters to view all of the loan documents and communication he and his wife had when negotiating mortgages with Countrywide Financial Corp.

...

"I regret I did not do this sooner and I apologize to the people of Connecticut for the delay,'' said Dodd, who was joined by his wife Jackie Clegg Dodd in a sometimes tense meeting with reporters at his Hartford offices.

So who saw them that will report accurately on what was really there? Isn’t that the real question we need to ask?

Exactly. Anybody with regret would have apologized immediately and would have taken action many months ago.

Dodd is a scumbag who is costing the country loads of money.

Yes, it’s nice to have talk radio...at least for now. Not that this story will result in real accountability on the part of Dodd.

What rate did he pay? What rate would one of the "little people" pay for the same loan? What is the total dollar figure of that "gift" from Countrywide? Will Dodd repay that to either Contrywide or to the United States treasury to cover party of the bailout?

We don’t want the loan documents. The Deed of Trust is public Record.

We want to see proof of payment.

....What rate did he pay?...

More important, far more important, is did he actually pay anything? Does he think showing the mortgage is enough?

We want proof the sweetheart loan is actually being paid off by him.we want proof the past due status is not canned by the Country Wide President.

Why is it women with multipe names, such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, Lady Bird Johnson and Jackie Clegg Dodd are all married to Democrat crooks, but women with two names, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin are straight, honest Republicans?

Glenn Beck was hilarious this morning. He called several people and timed how long it took for them to find their mortgage documents (under 2 minutes or so each.)

“sen dodd releases countrywide papers...”

I'd love to see how it was treated on his 1040, too.

Among other things, remember, relief of debt is ordinary income!

LOL. I could beat that time. Mine are sitting on my desk. I couldn’t remember what my interest rate was, so I pulled out the file to see if rates were now low enough that I should consider refinancing.

According to Drudge, Dodd took out another mortgage to clear himself on the first one. However, the rates of the mortgages aren’t included. Dodd probably refinanced for an even better deal. And none of this makes any difference anyway, since the first sweetheart mortgage was actually a bribe to Dodd for blocking reform. That’s his real crime, and that’s what he should be in prison for.

Dodd and his wife said they were aware early on that they were in a special "VIP" program.

"We were told that it was nothing more than enhanced customer service,'' Dodd said. "I regret having ever done business with Countrywide."

I am so not surprised:
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac + Congressional Black Caucus+ Barney Frank+ Howard Reins+ Chris Dodd + Johnson + Pelosi + OBAMA = Housing Crisis of 2008 = Economic Meltdown of 2009 = Nationalization of Banks = Americans OWNED by Congress’ created DEBT.

There you have it, Corruption in a single simple equation.

More and more I am thinking that every single person in congress needs permanent immediate retirement WITH OUT BENEFITS.

So..where are the papers? Releasing them to a corrupt American press is not good enough anymore.

Dodd should make them public to everyone in his state and indeed the whole country!

Because...they are not failing. They are succeeding in their goal. Their goal is the fundamental change Obama has spoken of and success in that areana means the failure of our traditonal free market and replacing it with a command market much more akin to marxism.

Once you undertsand these fundamental positions and facts, then what is going on makes perfect sense...and the urgency of the situation becomes apparent.

Did you see this? It took Dodd and his wife 192 days to "find" their mortgage loan documents??? I know exactly where mine are. It wouldn't take me 192 seconds to produce them (although I'll never have reason to show them to anybody, since we didn't get any "sweetheart" deal).

Great job by Jim Vicevich in continuing the pressure on Dodd.

Dodd is an asswipe slimbag.

An honest, aboveboard person that was truly interested in putting this to bed would release ALL the documents, including 1040s with private info (SSN, address, etc.) redacted. Post them on the Internet.

What a sleasy, slimy person.

Connecticut, wake up!
