Freddie Mac Support for Rahm Emanuel

John Powers 20 July 2008 One Comment

There does seem to be a pattern of distraught companies under the influence of politicians, and successful politicians in Washington DC.

Perhaps the politicians are also under the influence of the distraught companies, or previously on the Board of Directors of a very distressed bank, as in the case of Rahm Emanuel at Freddie Mac.

Here’s a $1000 for Rahm ’02

from a Freddie Mac/Senior Vice President $1,000…and another $1000 from Freddie Mac/Senior VP Capital…just going through the A’s and B’s in a 6 year old list of campaign contributors.

My guess is that there is more money that came into the Emanuel campaign from Freddie Mac from other letters of the alphabet.

Perhaps ther could be some explanation from a former board member and “financial wiz” on how Freddie Mac has become one of the biggest banking problems in the United Sates.
