I don't get it. Why were Fannie and Freddie treated so significantly different than other TBTF institutions receiving bailout funds under TARP/Capital Purchase Program?

Other financial institutions only had to pay 5% interest (periodic commitment fee) and they were eventually allowed to buy back preferred stock warrants held by the Treasury. Why such different rules for FnF? In essence, I suppose this is what some of lawsuits are trying to determine.
