Honestly, I’ll be very surprised if this doesn’t get done now. Outside of the obvious PSPA, Cap Rule, and Consent Decree, would a Trump led Treasury return substantial funds to FnF to make a significant dent into capital needed to be raised?
If Mnuchin doesn’t cooperate, Trump fires him and next man/woman up to approve the deal?
Ultimately, Trump has full control and could return substantial funds that would stand up in any legal challenge. I’d also love to see those executive privileged documents publicized during a Treasury reimbursement.
Interesting times ...
