Thanks for sharing, as always u r the best :)

[Always wondering]

The gov keeps digging deeper complaining about FNMA turning over documents the gov executed priveledge over and probably wouldn't have turned over. That's my thinking and they are obviously barking up the wrong tree.
Then they argue FNMA who?? We don't control FNMA but can you judge?

Judge Sweeney:
5 But I wouldn’t dare suggest to the Plaintiff how
6 they should conduct this litigation. They are people of
7 integrity; they are -- these are the finest law firms in the
8 country, so they will -- they will do what they will, and I
9 have great respect for them, and we’ll just see what happens.

17 THE COURT: You know -- if you don’t mind, thank
18 you. Pardon me.
19 You know, I used to sit at the table where you sat,
20 and I knew that on the other side it was citizens of this
21 country bringing a lawsuit against the sovereign. And I just
22 always think it’s important when you know that it’s citizens
23 of the United States that are trying to redress a grievance
24 that -- that as much as we are advocates for the sovereign
25 that we also have an obligation in the administration of

1 justice to somehow increase the comfort level of a plaintiff
2 that we are being diligent, that we are being fair, we are
3 being honest.
4 So, I would ask you if by the end of March if you
5 would carve out part of your day to meet with Mr. Thompson
6 and/or Mr. Cooper or whomever, and just spend a couple of
7 hours with them just to have an initial -- you may not cover
8 the entire universe of documents. I know that couldn’t be
9 accomplished, but maybe if you could just take -- you and
10 some of your colleagues could take some time, would you be willing to do that?

True, the most elite, top, D.C. attorneys. That's what it obviously takes!

Dollars1, thank you for providing this. I'm not sure if you requested (and paid for) this, but if you did, thank you. If I might ask, if you did pay for this...were you the original or a copy requestor? If you weren't the original, do you mind sharing who the party was that requested it originally? Good info to have sometimes. Either way... Thanks again for your above and beyond efforts.

4 MR. SCHWIND: The United States does not control
5 Moody’s. We’re talking about --
6
7 are. 8
9 Deloitte -- Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers, and that’s
10 the kind of -- that’s how far we’ve gone astray from
11 Plaintiffs’ request for discovery from the Government
12 agencies, to see, the Court will recall, the main question is
13 whether or not FHFA was controlled by Treasury, whether FHFA
14 acted at the behest of Treasury when it executed -- when it
15 entered into the third amendment.
16 THE COURT: Well, why aren’t those -- why aren’t
17 the lawyers for the third parties coming in?
18 MR. SCHWIND: Your Honor, we don’t know what the --
19 again, those are independent companies. We’re not telling
20 them what to do. All we are saying --
21 THE COURT: But -- but if they have -- but if a
22 third party has a complaint or -- what is the connection -- I
23 guess what I -- what I’m -- and I apologize, Mr. Schwind,
24 really. I’m not trying to give you a hard time. It’s just
25 I’m trying to wrap my head around the Government complaining

Great read! Thx Dollars1. I love how Judge Sweeney cuts through all the stalling and whining from the Gov. Lawyers to get right to the point.
