That makes no sense as its incorrect and anyone trying to say that will get smashed with the truth and made to look very bad.

Exactly. In addition, our hope of Trump following his campaign rhetoric about the Rule of Law seems to have gone by the wayside as it pertains to the GSE's.

Your points of argument are all in the master plan of those who want to bring Fannie and Freddie to their knees while the rule of law is suspended.

My fear exactly. It seems like a very realistic way this gets "resolved", with a "narrative" spread so far and wide that it indeed ends up trumping the law and the evidence (really, no pun intended).

Many such narratives, built on misinterpretations and misrepresentations of facts, still dominate in other areas. Example: "The Civil War was fought over issue of slavery." That's just one example. Not to get into it, but that narrative is easily digestible, even though the true nature and causes of that war are more complicated than that, and some have argued slavery wasn't really even the main reason for the conflict. Yet ask anyone what that war was fought for. And you'll get the answer: "the GSEs caused the '08 crisis, were bailed out, then couldn't remain profitable and ended up costing the taxpayers billions, so they had to be shutdown."
