In the end Munchkin is the boss though. If Cat Man won't do what Munchkin says, a new puppet can always be brought in. That said, I believe they are feeling less pressure to push this related to the election as it seems Trump may have this next election in the bag. That would mean only the courts can make them feel pressure. If they can delay the courts then they have up to 4 more years to address this.

And that's MY 2 cents.

I hate to disagree. Mnuchin and Calabria are on the same team. both are looking to extinguish shareholders. Period. No dilution. Just outright taking (stealing) it all away from the current shareholders. A complete 'Nationalization' of the entities, followed with a quick grab of the entire GSEs enchilada, all for their own personal qain. They are diligently working on some plot that completely circumvents the law and the courts. That is why it's taking them so long to execute the master plan. Trump is in on the deal and so are the courts. It is just a matter of time before some 'clever' lawyer finds a word or phrase that will let the compliant judge to declare all the shareholders claims as null and void. Didn't Bush Jr. do something similar by gifting Conrail to the chairman of CSX who was his secretary of commerce at the time? Strange and wonderful things happen to those who are greedy and powerful. Meet Mr. Mnuchin and friends!
Anyone who has lived through the 2008 crash knows that the powerful are busy plotting, sometime for years, to 'take down their prey'. Witness Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns, Washington Mutual sagas and learn the lesson of power and greed.

From your lips to gods ear this is the exact same I’ve been feeling. After the first year. One says something positive the other one says the same except different timelines. Basically kicking the can down the road. Then the courts chime in kicking it further......

Could very well just be a show being put on to control the markets perception. Think: good cop, bad cop routine you use on your kids.
