In an appearance on the March 27 Fox & Friends, BMI's Dan Gainor discussed White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's brief, lucrative tenure on the board of Freddie Mac.

New reporting by the Chicago Tribune has updated the story BMI chronicled during the Obama transition of how Emanuel made more than $300,000 advising the Government Sponsored Enterprise at the very time it was engaged in unethical and illegal behavior. The mainstream print and broadcast media have mostly ignored Emanuel’s Freddie Mac history, as well has Barney Frank’s Fannie Mae connections because “very obviously they have an agenda,” Gainor said.

Good for the Tribune and Dan Gainor.   The media

has completely ignored Barney Frank's and Chris

Dodd's involvement w/Freddie and Fannie.   Also,

Emmanuel looks like a mafia goon, and probably

is.

I hope Mr. Gainer is insured by somebody other than AIG since his family may be eligible for life insurance benefits soon.

We need hearings!!

Why aren't Raines and Gorelick and Emanuel testifying to Congress on how they destroyed Fannie and Freddie? Why haven't Fannie and Freddie been fixed yet? They have been bailed out with billions of our money and they are still Government Sponsored Enterprises run by democratics that have been awarded cushy patronage positions. The focus on AIG and other private investment corporations is to divert attention form Fannie and Freddie corruption, and Frank and Dodd's part in that corruption.

I caught this early this

I caught this early this morning...Dan did a great job...and he is right as usual, nobody talks about Freddie/Fannie or any involved...he made my morning before I even had my coffee.

Rahm, Johnson, Barney and his lover at the time, Gorelick, Raines all made tons of money at tax-payers expense and this was the beginning of this downfall...

The govt. is responsible for all of our ills...and still continue to be.
