Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[10bambam]

We do not know how much money Corky made shorting the twins.

We do not know how much money he was paid or what political incentives he was given for election campaigns by GSE enemies.

We do not know how much he is on the hook to the TBTF institutions that are anti GSE.

Maybe Corky's benefactors/puppet masters/TBTF figured that he was too much of a liability since cutting his puppet strings and performing on his own like suggesting that the market short the twins.

Corker made that statement in October of 2015. That was about half way through his last term.. His history of unethical behavior and illegal yet unpunishable actions may have been revealed to Trump. Trump may be pissed. He could be handling Corker through back room dealing.
So many possibilities.
All my conjecture and speculation. So much fun.
