The main difference between Fannie Mae (FNMA; Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC; Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) is that Fannie May primarily buys mortgages issued by banks and Freddie Mac primarily buys mortgages issued by thrifts. A secondary difference between the two is that Fannie Mae started in 1938 as part of the "New Deal" and Freddie Mac started in 1970 in order to create competition in the secondary mortgage market.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not directly own loans from Wells Fargo; rather, they are government-sponsored enterprises that buy and securitize loans from lenders like Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo originates loans, which may then be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac for liquidity and to manage risk. This means that while Wells Fargo may service the loans, the underlying mortgage might be owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac after the sale.

Jumbo loans are loans that fall outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limit guidelines. Therefore they are considered non-conforming loans that Fannie and Freddie will not purchase. Today the limit is $417,000 in most of the country but may reach $729,750 in areas the government has designated as High Cost for single family homes.
The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from "directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" for the 2008 campaign cycle.
