Rick Davis’ lame-o excuse is that he was paid $30K/month, but that he didn’t actually do anything. WTF?

Since he’s the treasurer, he sure won’t be able to say that he didn’t know where the money Freddie was giving to Davis Manafort went.

In most corporations, the role of treasurer is pretty hands-on and important.

@Beerfart Liberal, #7

Good question. The New York Times story says that 6 anonymous sources with direct knowledge of the arrangement said that Davis Manafort got the money and that they got it specifically because of Rick Davis’s access to McCain. We also know that Rick Davis was personally paid to be the head of the Homeownership Association, a creature of Fannie and Freddie, until approximately 2005. According to the Times’ anonymous sources the money to Davis Manafort was the continuation of RD’s HA contract.

That’s not the baffling part, though…the baffling part is that he seems to want to be toast.
