Thank you for the thorough response, Obit.

I guess "federal" was the key word regarding the protective order motion. For some reason I thought the DOJ's request was an admission that FHFA is the US, therefore was acting as the United States in its dealing with the PSPAs and not as an independent agency. But the "federal" interpretation threw some light on that. The 'back in the driver's seat' mention was also a reference to the self-dealing issue brought up by Ted Olson/Richard Epstein. But in light of your answer it doesn't appear so.
