Lots of hate indeed. I stepped in late to one of the larger meetings (man, what a whirlwind all that running around between offices was) so I wasn't really clear as to who all of the staffers were. The woman who took lead insinuated that FnF had been committing acts of accounting fraud for two decades prior to 2008 and that their motivation for wind down stems from that. While someone from the coalition noted that they were officially exonerated in court of such claims, I questioned how she could wax ethically about FnF's operations for two decades while the treasury is in the midst of an ongoing sweep of their profits. I also inquired as to why action wasn't taken earlier if they've truly been bothered for this long. Just why is taking action NOW so imperative? Last, and certainly not least, how is it that Crapo could amass his 100 million dollar construction fortune on the backs of FnF over the course of those two decades and not be a relevant consideration in this dubious "ethical" qualm. No answers. Never any answers. Just resolute proclamations that necessitate no underpinnings for their unwavering retention. You seem to have two camps in Congress, those interested in educating themselves further and those who have sold out long ago - merely parroting whatever their puppet of a boss tells them to say. I'm convinced many of the latter are so so indoctrinated and egotistical that they've come to actually believe they've formed their own views on matters. It's a sad state of affairs. Nevertheless, there's still some cogent and well-intentioned folk amongst the fray. Keep the faith y'all.
