Barney Frank Accused of Fannie Mae Conflict of Interest

Posted October 3rd, 2008 by serpicolugnut

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank seems to be in a bit of trouble over the whole Fannie Mae mess. It seems that in addition to receiving quite a bit of money from Fannie Mae over the years, Frank’s boyfriend Herb Moses worked at the mortgage lender from 1991-1998, during which Frank was on the House Banking Committee (a committee that has jurisdiction over Fannie Mae).

If you don’t see the problem with that, I can’t really help you.

Additionally, since I’m dumping on Frank, check out O’Reilly jumping down his throat.
