From Fannie Mae’s perspective the consulting fee’s amount to political protection money. Newt may not view it that way. But the pattern repeats itself over & over. Corporation A splits it’s contributions 70/30. Fannie Mae is probably giving 70 percent of it’s political contributions to Democrats because right now they hold the reins. But you always need protection from the otherside of the aisle. Need to protect that flank.
That's a pretty honest description of the situation. And if Newt was a democrat, more people on FR would see it that way.
