Maybe Sandra does not want to jeopardize her own job.
The FHFA is a gigantic bureaucratic hydrocephalus that feeds on FnF revenues and grows heavier every day. Why should Sandra put all this hard-earned achievement at risk?
But, she does not see that releasing the GSEs from C-ship is her responsibility.
Thompson is an empty suit with little sayso beyond the FHFA blatherings; save your time!!
She just mouths what the Admin "claims" is its position.
But why would Biden want this Congress (with this House) to deliberate any matter it considers important (again, see the predicate), given White Houe's ability to make it happen "administratively?"
