Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Dallas66]

Let me rephrase my question now that you've clarified who makes the decision.

Is it normal procedure...or even legal for the government to supply and pay for the defense of a non-government entity? And have the taxpayers foot the bill?

What I am seeing is this.

Private investors (which are taxpayers)are suing an entity which they claim is part of the government.

The government is defending this entity they claim is NOT part of the government using government resources to do so.

The people (which are taxpayers) suing the purported government entity is paying for the cost of their lawsuit

The people (which are tax payers) suing the purported government entity is paying for some of the cost of the government's defensive efforts in this lawsuit as they share the taxpayer burden of government spending.
