PING PING PING.... Freeper research needed! Guess who was VICE-CHAIR of Fannie Mae, 1997 - 2003??? None other than Jamie Gorelicker, who was one of the execs awarded a huge bonus in the midst of accounting fraud scandals. Her bio with the 9/11 Commission says that one of her chief responsibilities with Fannie Mae was that she "directed its efforts to reach underserved markets"..... which is exactly the area related to this HUD scandal????

"Prior to joining Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr in July 2003, Gorelick was vice chair of Fannie Mae. As part of the four-person Office of the Chairman, she shared responsibility for overall management of the company, directed its efforts to reach underserved markets and oversaw Fannie Mae's external relationships, legal and regulatory affairs."

"There are signs the gilt-edged resumes, and political futures, of three former Fannie executives have already been tarnished, because of findings they profited from manipulation of financial results in 1998. Former Fannie Mae chief James A. Johnson, who holds a top post in the Democratic presidential campaign and headed the Kennedy Center and the Brookings Institution; Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lawrence M. Small, who was Fannie Mae's chief operating officer; and Washington lawyer Jamie Gorelick, a former Fannie vice chairman, who has served as deputy attorney general, the Pentagon's top lawyer and a member of the 9-11 commission, joined Raines and Howard in receiving sizable bonuses that year. Regulators allege they were paid after the company improperly deferred other expenses."
