Freddie Mac did hire a lot of Republican lobbyists. Fannie Mae hired mostly Democrats. They pretty much played a divide-and-conquer game. This story may be true, but I worked on this legislation and Republicans almost unanimously supported it. Freddie Mac wasted their money. Fannie Mae didn't.

Also I cannot believe the hiring of this firm was secreat. It would have to have registered as a lobbyist. No way Freddie Mac would have hired a firm and not registered or disclosed it.

I stopped reading when I saw the word “republican” in the same article with Hegel.
