AP source: House Republicans got discounted loans
Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Two veteran House Republicans received discounted mortgage loans from the now-defunct
Countrywide Financial Corp. under a VIP program, a congressional official said Friday.
The discounts went to Reps. Howard McKeon and Elton Gallegly of California, said the official, who was not authorized to
speak publicly about the loans and requested anonymity. Their identities were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has been investigating whether members of Congress received
VIP discounts. The Associated Press reported previously that four House members had received the discounts.
One of the four remains unidentified publicly.

Records show that Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y, also received discounts.

wai what? What did that headline say again and who was conveniently omitted entirely?

Quote:
Senators Christopher Dodd, Democrat from Connecticut and chairman of the Banking Committee,
and Kent Conrad, Democrat from North Dakota, chairman of the Budget Committee and a member of the Finance
Committee, refinanced properties through Countrywide's "V.I.P." program in 2003 and 2004

I know they are senators, but still should have been mentioned in the article regardless of that.
