Related? Only if we find a bunch of harassing e-mails from Grassley and other Senators on the guy's Facebook page.

I don't think Grassley was too harsh at all; he did leave them the option of simply resigning, which seems to be about all we ever demand of people who have done horrible things in a corporate environment. Me, I'd push for "resign and then face criminal charges".

I have to wonder what a full audit of the Freddie Mac books would turn up. But we'll probably never be allowed to know.
