Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[GAK-]

There might have been a lot that has taken place behind the scenes, but it certainly appeared as of 8/30 (when the GSE's presented the comment letters) that there had not been any interaction behind the scenes.

Like everyone else, I cannot know what will happen. I know there are a number of things that need to take place before they can be released (PSPA, Cap Rule, CRP, settle lawsuits, consent decrees, NYSE relist), so I'm trying to figure out what hard deadlines FHFA faces in trying to accomplish all of those things. Inauguration day is probably the most fixed deadline, since Mnuchin will be gone. I see the SCOTUS oral argument as a more soft deadline.
