Obama Transition Team Scrubs Fannie

The co-leaders of Barack Obama's transition team for State Department review have impressive resumes, including significant roles at erstwhile mortgage giant Fannie Mae.

As detailed in their change.gov bios:

Tom Donilon is a partner at the law firm of O’Melveny & Myers and serves on the firm’s global governing committee. Tom served as Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of State during the Clinton Administration. Since leaving the Department he has remained deeply involved in the national security arena. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Aspen Strategy Group, the National Security Advisory Group to the Congressional Leadership, the Brookings Institution Board of Trustees, the Miller Center of Public Affairs Governing Council, and the Trilateral Commission.

Wendy R. Sherman is a Principal of The Albright Group LLC and of Albright Capital Management LLC. Ambassador Sherman served as Counselor and chief troubleshooter for the State Department, as well as Special Advisor to President Clinton and Policy Coordinator on North Korea. Sherman is a recognized expert on national security issues and serves as a frequent analyst in major news outlets. She was recently appointed by Congressional Leadership to serve on the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism.

Did you not see the Fannie mentions?

It's not you.  Those tidbits seemed to have slipped through the crack.  WSJ's Washington Wire fills in the blanks for you.

Donilon was Fannie’s general counsel and executive vice president for law and policy from 1999 until the spring of 2005, a period during which the company was rocked by accounting problems. Donilon’s co-leader for the State Department review,  Wendy Sherman, also has ties to Fannie Mae that weren’t mentioned in her Obama-Biden Web site bio. A fellow veteran of the Clinton State Department, Sherman headed up Fannie Mae’s charitable foundation from 1996-1997.
