about time
Now we can play a new game: name any heads of the two GSEs not previously, currently under indictment, or under investigation, for the last 10 years.
Kudos to the Obama admin for nipping at the hand that fed him.
Now he/they can pony up and include the rest of Goldman Sachs et al.....then I might vote for him.

I assume you mean Newt, a consultant.
HARWOOD: Since -- since you mentioned Fannie and Freddie, Speaker Gingrich, 30 seconds to you, your firm was paid $300,000 by Freddie Mac in 2006. What did you do for that money?
GINGRICH: Were you asking me?
HARWOOD: Yes.
GINGRICH: I offer them advice on precisely what they didn't do...
GINGRICH: And my advice as a historian, when they walked in and said to me, "We are now making loans to people who have no credit history and have no record of paying back anything, but that's what the government wants us to do," as I said to them at the time, this is a bubble. This is insane. This is impossible.

It was the first time in history a speaker was disciplined for ethical wrongdoing.[63][64] ... "
