“That is not the Countrywide that I knew.”..............

[Jack Hammer]

In the Marxist Superstate, all comrades are equal - but some comrades are a little more equal.

Dodd saved $70k over the life of the mortgage. That is nothing but a bribe paid in installments.
We need a special council to investigate this issue.
We need hearings!

Whats that, Dodd didn’t know he got a special deal. Oh forget it then.

[Fox_Mulder77]

Barry is going to have to throw Dodd under the bus now. This is getting embarrassing.

Bryan DeAngelis, Sen. Dodd's press secretary. "They did not seek or anticipate any special treatment, and they were not aware of any." He declined further comment.

Government-speak translation: "Yes, we got special treatment because we're in their pocket, but you can't prove the favors we made for them are directly linked to the special favors they did for us."

[Red Badger]

Amazing how these people who claim to know everything about everything, suddenly don’t know anything about anything..............

“That is not the Countrywide that I knew.”............

Me either. I'm still applying salve from the burning hoops I had to jump thru but that was way back in 1999 when they were still applying some standards.

[Sybeck1]

Rush hopefully will hammer this today.

[Red Badger]

Weren’t they on the verge of bankruptcy last fall?......

“They did not seek or anticipate any special treatment, and they were not aware of any.”

Dodd is shameless...

I guess some Senators are more equal than others.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Where there’s corruption—there’s a Democrat.

[Holicheese]

Could not have said it better.
All of a sudden they have no idea what the date is or what time it is.

[shove_it]

Citi Bank rescued ‘em.

[Brilliant]

Maybe this is one of the reasons they were on the verge of bankruptcy. Too many sweetheart loans to Democrats.

[Walmartian]

Amazing how these people who claim to know everything about everything, suddenly don’t know anything about anything..............

That really does sum it all up.

[HD1200]

We need to know exactly who the people on this “Friends of Angelo” list were. If they were getting undermarket loans I believe the IRS should go after them for understating income as a result of the discounted loan rate.

We need a list of all of them & I bet most are Democrats.

[Red Badger]

LOL!!!..........

I guess Dodd (D) and Conrad (D), should have supported Hillary. Payback is a you-know-what.
