Tim Miller

But in modern times, I don't think it even occurred to any of the presidents like, hey.

I could have my own attorney general do settlements with my pals and pay them cash.

Kudos to him, I guess, because to be the most brazenly corrupt member of the Trump administration is a challenge.

You really do have to go above and beyond.

And it might go to Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

He's a classic example.

I was just doing a little backstory on him.

He's like one of these 37-year-olds who looks like he's 50.

So he's carrying a lot of weight, I think, on his soul.

Just in the last week, Pulte floats the 50-year mortgage idea that's been going around to help people get lower monthly mortgage payments.

So that's going to be the big solution for affordability from this administration.

You just pay way more interest.

Then yesterday, he sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department against California Representative Eric Swalwell.

Think about running for governor.

Again, making the same accusation he's made against Tish James and others that there were misleading claims on Morgan's documents.

Well, so that's not true.

And then the other story that did not get as much attention that caught my eye was as Pulte was gathering all this information, there was, I guess, a marketing official inside Fannie Mae that was sharing sensitive information with him.

Senior Fannie Mae officials called her conduct into question and an internal ethics watchdog was brought in to look into it.

The officials that called her behavior into question and the ethics watchdogs have been fired.

Pulte and the marketing woman who is giving them the information are obviously still in the government.
