This article is one of the few that exposes the FCIC as pretty much a sham. Under Angelides, they went out of their way to ignore the role of Fannie and Freddie in causing the crisis -- as well as ignoring evidence of fraud and market manipulation in their investigations.

I call it Communism++. Attempt to manufacture a history that fits the desired narrative, refuse to acknowledge all contrary facts and brand those who present them as liars, and reaching for all the control Mao Tse Tung and Josef Stalin achieved over their subjects while avoiding their two major errors: 1) Attempting to crush the free market instead of harnessing and controlling it, and 2) Letting the public know that an entity actually HAS power over them.
The statists are much smarter about pursuing their agenda this time around. Unfortunately, their opponents are still basking in the glow of Ronald Reagan's brief derailing of the statist agenda, and have gotten much dumber.
