We can assume this exercise does not include the tens of millions these clever cons were able to secrete out of Fannie Mae into offshore banks.

The odds that there will be any repercussions for Raines, Gorelick, et al, are similar to the odds that Sandy Berger will be prosecuted for removing documents from the National Archive.

Never mind that. Just try base salary and their stock options.

Fannie Mae and Oil For Food...

Gee, is there a pattern here?

[gitmo]

Isn't Fannie Mae subject to the same accounting laws the rest of us are? If so, why aren't there criminal charges being filed?

The whole of Fannie Mae, looking at those directors, and Raines, seems like a real Democrat backwater, a lil liberal club.

But Raines didn't just get 18 million - that's million. His 'package', his 'packet', his 'packing packet of packaging' was full of million-dollar components, such that he walked away with perhaps over one hundred million or more, if I'm not mistaken. Just various parts of his 'packaging package' are more than superstar NBA players get in their big rookie contracts. This is what I think so many want to cover up, just how rich this do-nothing lib got while people struggle to pay the bills, and pay their taxes. And this fool just gets millions and millions and millions thrown at him like it was just paper, and just grew on trees everywhere.

And all of this should lead to the popping of the over inflated housing bubble which, like the stock market, is in dire need of a market readjustment. Pop it and start again.
