Not far-fetched at all. Section 303 does cover preferred stock. What you are suggestion is that Treasury used section 304 authority to purchase section 303 preferred securities. Correct? But that is not what happened. You would be correct had treasury used section 304 to purchase $187 billion of section 303 preferred stock. That would have been fine. In fact that is what Treasury was supposed to do according to the law. The problem is that the creation of the SPS was not done by the GSEs under section 303 but rather Treasury used section 304 to purchase $1 billion worth of senior preferred shares then added an infinite return that somehow has ballooned to over 300 billion in LP and warrants for 79.9 % of common stock. The novel terms of the SPS were created externally from the GSEs (GSEs had no say) in an agreement between 2 agencies of the federal government premised in the agreement on Section 304 of the FNMA charter act. Section 303 has no bearing on this. These are new products conceived by fellow traveling conspirators using section 304 of the Charter act. If lawyers are duped into thinking like you propose, then it is no wonder that they have failed in every attempt. They aren’t thinking corruptly enough.

Clarence, think about this…

Where is "maximize profits for taxpayers" written in the Charter Act? Specifically, in this provision entitled Fee Limitation of the United States:

Charter act prohibits the commitment fees (Seniors, warrants, variable liquidation preference). More importantly the actions of Treasury to appropriate 200 billion in taxpayer debt, take non regulatory control of the companies through the SPSPA (require Treasury permission at least 10 separate times) and ownership of more than 50% of the companies requires them under the GAO act and the CFO act to consolidate the GSEs onto the nations balance sheet. The fact that that hasn't happened means the Treasury has violated the 14th amendment to the Constitution by repudiating the 5 trillion plus in debt the Treasury has acquired through their actions since 2008. Their actions have resulted in a takings of the entire enterprise value of the formerly private companies. These actions have necessarily turned the GSEs back into agencies of the executive branch as they were originally created. This is the definition of a major question and also a separation of powers problem since Congress did not authorize the actions Treasury took and continues to take.

Neither the Charter Act nor did HERA authorize the Treasury to charge a commitment fee on a line of credit to be paid by the Enterprise. The United States prohibition on assessment or collection of fee or charge to Fannie Mae, (section 304 Fee Limitation). Only Federal Reserve Banks are authorized to be reimbursed of fees, (section 309).

No provision of this subsection shall affect the purchase of any obligation by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.” End of Quote. Page 16
