The Trump administration continues to be beset by leaks of classified information, even after the appointment of General John Kelly as Chief of Staff.
Tomorrow, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is supposed to discuss a new crackdown on leaks. The Washington Post today reported details from calls President Donald Trump had with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
News about those calls back in February indicated some frustrations on the part of President Trump. Today’s leaked information included the full transcripts of those calls, which may provide clues as to their source.
While anti-Trump forces in the political arena and the news media relish anything that might embarrass the president, they fail to consider that leaks like this damage the ability of the president to have frank and productive conversations with foreign leaders.
Find out on the next page some of the details of the calls, and how they show President Trump is handling difficult issues with his peers in other countries. Also, learn who might be providing the leaks.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
After eight long years of cover-ups, bald-faced lies, and judicial obstruction, the government has finally released thousands of documents
demonstrating that the Obama Administration created false pretenses to unlawfully siphon tens of billions of corporate cash from Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. These documents clearly demonstrate that senior government officials knew the GSEs were on the verge of sustained
profitability and took actions to usurp all of those profits. Indeed, the documents reveal that these officials lied to the public and perjured
themselves in federal courts. The so-called “Net Worth Sweep” was unnecessary to prevent a “downward spiral.” Put simply, we now have
unambiguous evidence that the Obama varsity team knew what their statutory authorities were, willfully exceeded those authorities to steal
billions of dollars from investors, and subsequently engaged in a cover-up to hide their wrongdoing.
When you follow the cash, it’s easy to see that Fannie and Freddie have generated hundreds of billions in profits, taxes, and consumer savings.
Each held tens of billions of tangible value and maintained tens of billions in earnings power – even at the worst point of The Great Recession.
Each had the wherewithal to pay all bills and pursue its stated mission of providing liquidity when all others cannot.
Federal agencies continue to defend contrived accounting gimmicks by arguing that they followed the law and, notwithstanding, they are above
it. As more and more documents are released, the Department of Justice will see that the actions undertaken by former officials undermine their
defenses and long-established laws. Fannie and Freddie can safely return to their role of insuring the uniquely American housing finance system
against catastrophic risk with private capital. There is a proven blueprint to succeed, and we hope to successfully resolve this matter before
reaching the Supreme Court of the United States.
After all, capital markets are based on the sanctity of contracts – the original buyers’ and sellers’ expectations and rights travel with a contract
no matter who holds it. When this saga ends, we expect contracts to be honored and substantial value for all stakeholders.
