Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Robert from yahoo bd]

Sandra L Thompson has been with the FHFA since the OBama administration and was previously one of three Deputy Directors of the FHFA. In a 2015 interview she maintained that affordable sustainable housing lending and safety and soundness are NOT mutually exclusive:

"I can’t say this enough — when we talk about access to credit — some tend to think that safety and soundness gets thrown out the window. I believe that you need to have balance.

Safety and soundness and access to credit are not mutually exclusive."

As a hard working, successful long term careerist at FDIC and FHFA, she may be especially well suited to be the next Senate confirmed FHFA Director.

But JB may have someone else in mind for the lead position so we will see in a while who he picks and what their vision is for the future.
