As part of its effort to court supporters on Capitol Hill several years ago, mortgage giant Freddie Mac hired Mark Buse as a lobbyist. Buse was a longtime confidant of Sen. John McCain, and at the time, Freddie Mac feared that the senator was too outspoken on executive pay, an issue of intense concern for the highly-compensated chiefs at Freddie, The Post's Matthew Mosk and David S. Hilzenrath report. Buse is now chief of staff at McCain's Senate office. In 2003, Buse reportedly was given credit inside Freddie when McCain, as chairman of the commerce committee, declined to pursue legislation addressing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, another mortgage giant, saying that the panel lacked jurisdiction. McCain aides say that the hiring of Buse had no influence on the senator's decision-making. They point out that McCain co-sponsored a bill to overhaul regulation of Fannie and Freddie in September 2003 and again ... Source: www.chron.com --- 33 days ago

By JACKIE CALMES and DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK / NY Times 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 McCain ’s 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. Davis’s 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. Davis’s 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. Davis’s firm, Davis & Manafort, had been kept on the payroll because of Mr. Davis’s close ties to Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, who by 2006 was widely expected to run again for the White House. Mr. Davis took a leave from Davis & Manafortfor the presidential campaign, but as a partner and equity-holder continues to benefit from its income. No one at Davis & Manafort other than Mr. Davis was involved in ef ...
