Democrats have been using Fannie/Freddie as a personal piggy-bank for almost two decades now.”

And the Republicans knew nothing about it?

They have been playing quid pro quo games where Dems (and Pubs) in congress run interference for Freddie and Fannie from regulators in return for campaign funds and spending on pet projects. Barney Frank is one of the biggest players in this.

Many GOPers have been complicit in this game. While I would say the Dems are on average more corrupt, they certainly have not cornered the market on corruption.
