McCain Aide’s Firm Was Paid by Freddie Mac

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager from the end of 2005 through last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure contradicts a statement Sunday night by Mr. McCain that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had no involvement with the company for the last several years.

Newsweek is piling the doo-doo on Davis, too. A Newsweek writer said on MSNBC tonight that their sources indicated that Freddie Mac felt it had to pay Davis because he was the campaign manager for McCain. Scorching.
