Kent Conrad Changes His Story on the Mortgage Scandal AGAIN

How positively Clintonian.
So try to follow this, when the news broke Kent Conrad issued a press release that although he got a Friend of Angelo [Mozilo] loan he had never met him. (Link to the first two quotes.)

“I never met Angelo Mozilo. And in my role as a United States Senator, I have never done anything for Countrywide.

Then a day later under questioning he admitted that he had called him.

“I called (Mozilo). I said, ‘I’m buying this property. Would you be interested in the mortgage?’, and he said, ‘Yeah. Call these people and we’ll take a look,’’’ Conrad said.

Of course that story got him in worse trouble because it got people to wondering why you would call up the chairman of a multi multi billion dollar mortgage lender unless you wanted a special deal. So Clinton Conrad changed his story again.

Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, said he called his friend James Johnson in 2002 for advice on where to get a mortgage, and the former Fannie Mae chief happened to be with Mozilo.

Yeah right. You know what Kent, you’d be better off leaving it to your defense team in the Forum Communications editorial rooms. If you keep this up they’re going to have to cover this affair like you were a Republican.
