Anybody who, frankly, can do some research with Google and get to county websites can easily find these documents.

You know, the media, including yourself, it sounds like, are going to try to make this into some kind of witch hunt or something like that.

Quite the contrary.

This is self-evident.

This is black and white stuff.

And frankly, the fact that the media and so many people are asking questions in the elite class about this goes to show that people think that there are rules for some people and rules for other people.

Mortgage fraud is prosecuted every day in this country.

And I'm sorry to say, not really though, that a politician or a public official in this case is now the subject of mortgage fraud.

Normal people have to deal with this nearly every day in this country.

This is nothing new.

Defrauding people is nothing new.

And now all of a sudden that you have somebody very powerful, now people have to question it.

Obviously, while I respect the question, anything that has to do with the federal investigation, I am not going to comment on.

What is your involvement in the investigation, Bill?

Well, as you know, I'm the regulator of Fannie and Freddie as well as the conservator of Fannie and Freddie.

And so this is right in the bullseye of what my job is.

I promised before the Senate, before I was confirmed by the Senate, that I would investigate mortgage fraud.
