Kilmer17 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Better late than never I suppose. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D963IFEG3&show_article=1 HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd says he'll refinance two mortgages that he received through a VIP program from Countrywide Financial Corp. Dodd told reporters Monday that the mortgages for his homes in Washington and East Haddam, Conn., will be refinanced with a different company. Dodd has acknowledged receiving mortgages in 2003 through a VIP program at Countrywide, which was sold to Bank of America Corp. earlier this year and has been the focus of allegations that it gave favorable loan terms to lawmakers. Dodd says he's moving the loans in part because he was wrongfully labeled a friend of Countrywide's former CEO, Angelo Mozilo. Dodd says he never sought special treatment. The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Dodd says a third party will be involved in choosing the new bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You mean, the Senator might be attempting to get political brownie points, just for doing something that actually makes him money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
