NWS FOREVER was an action in and of itself that demonstrated FHFA acted in a role other than as conservator or receiver. It was an act that violated the "preserve and conserve" mandate to restore F&F to a "sound and solvent" condition. This action alone enables court intervention per 4617 (f) and calls into question every other act of the 'conservatorship' including justification made for it. If FHFA cannot adequately judge what needed to be done to nursemaid these 2 companies back to health, the entire 'conservatorship' MUST be called into question.
Well said jeddiemack! It was a cop out and now the whole country will suffer the consequences. Unless there is unity on purpose, there can be no unity on right vs wrong. The division down the middle, 5-4, indicates a lack of unity.
