Did John McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis accept bribes from Freddie Mac? John McCain claimed that Rick Davis had long severed ties with Freddie Mac and has not done any work for the lobbyist firm created by Freddie Mac in several years, but new reports show Rick Davis has been recieving $15,000 per month from Freddie Mac up until August of 2008, just one month ago. VIA NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/us/politics/w24davis.html?_r=1&hp;&oref;=slogin "One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCains campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure undercuts a statement by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years. Mr. Daviss firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said. They said they did not recall Mr. Daviss doing much substantive work for the company in return for the money, other than speak to a political action committee of high-ranking employees in October 2006 on the approaching midterm Congressional elections. They said Mr. Daviss firm, Davis & Manafort, had been kept on the payroll because of Mr. Daviss close ties to Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, who by 2006 was widely expected to run again for the White House."

Really crazy stuff!
