FOF - I think the conversations may have happened, but if the press (Joe Light & Hackerman) are getting wind of UST inaction back in Dec 2020 and Jan 2021, before the capitol riots, then I think the misrepresentation (intentional or not) of the POTUS conversations represented by Hindes during this time period - Dec 2020 to Jan 2021 - "changing Mnuchin's minds" is over extended.
If Joe Light and Hackerman for Bloomberg (I think it was them), knew of the lack of interest to act on the "Big Bang" by Treasury, then how does a subsequent conversation with a Hindes insider and Trump instruct on the press having a full understanding of the Treasury's position?
It doesn't make sense. If anything, if everything is to be believed, it's that Trump had no idea what Mnuchin was going to do and really didn't care about the GSEs.
If Trump did care, but realized there was all sorts of legal issues, etc., that could be an annoyance in his post-presidency, then the Hindes insider conversation with Trump was overinflated in Hindes's article.
Or Or Or ...
I think the "deal was done" but for the capitol riots insinuation by Hindes is on shaky ground ... Seems a little vanity run amok ... "my insider knew this and that and I have insider connections" type of thing ...
