Fannie Mae (FNMA)

Judge Sweeney may not care if released materials embarrass the government or key government officials or advisers, but the Supreme Court cares very much in the Cheyney decision. The Cheney ruling was cited by government attorneys in a motion docketed on February 19, 2016 so there is no question their legal team is familiar with the precedent.

A mandamus ruling under Appeal should eviscerate plaintiff's requested documents under discovery. It will just take time... a LOT of time... to adjudicate. Meanwhile, the $$$ runs out in right at 15 months. And by advising the DC Appeal panel about "incoming weaponry from discovery" (or however otherwise it might have been described in a sealed motion) the Fairholme team has now likely put any decision in that court on hold, pending appeal resolution. The discovery circus and pig-headed, irresolute insistence on a full-frontal document witch hunt is now going off the rails.

Who is advising Bruce Berkowitz? Glen Badtard?

Be on the lookout for the appeal filing. I would guess the odds of this happening at at least 90%+.

JMHO.
