Taxpayers Foot the Bill for Fannie, Freddie Legal Fees

Prepare to be outraged. When government officials pitched the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “bailouts” to the American people, we were told the purpose of this “taxpayer investment” was to bring solvency to two institutions that were simply “too big
