    Emanuel, who was a senior adviser for former President Bill Clinton throughout the 1990s, was appointed to the board of Freddie Mac upon his departure from the Clinton administration.

    “Clinton’s going-away gift to Emanuel was a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000,” Lynn Sweet wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times on Jan. 3, 2002.

    During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities…

    And, since his successful run for the House of Representatives in 2002, Emanuel has been the beneficiary of campaign cash from Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae – $51,750 according to the Center for Responsive Politics Web site OpenSecrets.org.

    man so much Change You Can Believe In I think I am going to pass out.

      pc, It's time for you to get over it. The election is over. It's time to quit being a republicon and start being an American. Anything at Hotair.com is counter productive to our nation.

        THE REAL STORY: AP OR PROPELLER PUBLISHED IT YESTERDAY. EMANUEL WAS THERE FOR ONLY MONTHS, A TOP MEMBER SAID THE TIME DID NOT ALLOW EMMANUEL TO FIND OUT OR PARTICIPATE IN THE SCAM.

        THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A POLITICAL TRAP AGAINST EMMANUEL.

        IF SO THAT WAS VERY PREJUDICED, EMMANUEL LOOKS JEWISH/ARAB. SHAME ON YOU,PROPELLER :(

          that's good enough for you maybe you should read the article and the ap link befor issuing such a ridiculous statement. This has NOTHING to do with ethnicity o0r religion but you are trying to defend Obama's poor choice by spinning it that way and for that the SHAME IS ON YOU.........

          FTA

          Emanuel’s action, or lack of it, came during a time when the SEC says Freddie Mac misrepresented its income to investors in order to maintain its price. In other words, they committed fraud. The SEC specifically notes that Freddie did this in 2000, 2001, and 2002, and Emanuel sat on the board in 2000-2001.

          This is no small matter. Had this happened when Sarbanes-Oxley was in effect, Emanuel would have had to sign off on those numbers under penalty of perjury. He could be liable for criminal prosecution. As it is, his actions and omissions as a board member may still result in civil and criminal liability, if the SEC discovers that he had a hand in the fraud committed at Freddie Mac, or if Emanuel knew about it and failed to act to stop it.

          He is still under investigation and could still face criminal liability

            from ABC

            http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6201900...

            EMMANUEL WAS DIRECTOR OF FREDDIE MAC DURING SCANDAL

            did you happen to notice the words DIRECTOR and DURING
            of course not

            he sat on the board for 13 months or over a year and NOT THE FEW MONTHS that you incorrectly allude to.......

              As long as the zionists have major influence on both parties, there will be little or no change in america.

              The Israeli Who Will Run the Obama White House

              "Obama's first pick: Israeli Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff" is the headline of a November 6 article in Ha'aretz, the Israeli newspaper. The Israeli editors at Ha'aretz proudly proclaim that Obama's first pick was "Israeli Rahm Emanuel" to run the next administration. Americans should be aware that Obama's chief of staff will be an Israeli, with terrorist roots and a clear loyalty to the state of Israel.

              Although the Israeli Emanuel has been named as Obama's chief of staff, none of the Zionist-controlled media outlets in the United States seem as open as Ha'aretz to discuss Emanuel's family roots with the Nazi-linked Zionist terror gangs in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s. Naftali Bendavid of the Zionist-owned Chicago Tribune, for example, has written a book about Emanuel and spent a great deal of time with him but completely avoids his Israeli roots in the Tribune article he wrote on November 6.

              ... Don't expect the controlled media to tell you the whole truth about Emanuel's family ties to real assassins. To get an idea of who Emanuel really is, I recommend my 2006 article, "Son of a Zionist Terrorist -- Rahm Emanuel's Dirty Secret."

              Emanuel even left the United States to serve in the Israeli army in 1991. A person from any other nation would automatically lose his U.S. citizenship for serving in a foreign military. Why do we let Israelis run our government? What will it take to remove people like Emanuel and Michael Chertoff to prevent them from damaging our American republic even more? The Zionist agents in our government are clearly in the process of accumulating power and not at all afraid of showing it. This is a very dangerous development...

              Americans should note that this means a foreigner, an Israeli, i.e. a person with loyalties to Israel, will be running the White House under Barack Obama. The chief of staff effectively controls the people around the president -- he decides who sees him, what he hears, and what he knows. The people surrounding the president report to the chief of staff. Emanuel will be the intellectual handler of President Obama (a continuation of the role he has played for years) and the controller of the White House. How do you think having an Israeli with terrorist roots will affect U.S. relations with Iran, Russia, the Palestinians -- and the rest of the world?...
