David Thompson at Cooper & Kirk, representing the Roberts Plaintiffs, tells the Seventh Circuit in a letter filed today that the Sixth Circuit and Judge Sleet read HERA way too expansively. “HERA confers on FHFA a limited set of enumerated powers . . . and pillaging the Companies’ balance sheets is not among them,” Mr. Thompson says. Mr. Thompson urges the Seventh Circuit to tell FHFA it’s gone too far and follow Judge Brown’s dissent. A copy of the letter is attached to this e-mail message.17-1880-0046
