On Wednesday, Hot Air<\/a> reported that the Department of Justice was opening an investigation into Congressman Adam Schiff for potential mortgage fraud.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Democrats created the lawfare model. Adam Schiff enthusiastically promoted it. Now the model has turned on them, and on Schiff specifically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, the Department of Justice has opened a criminal probe into potential mortgage fraud involving Schiff<\/a>. The allegations have floated for months, similar to those surrounding New York Attorney General Letitia James, that Schiff claimed primary residency in Maryland for personal gain while representing California in Congress:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article quotes msn<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that Schiff, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a 2011 affidavit signed by the then California congressman, Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland is his primary residence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schiff also owns a condominium in Burbank, California, which he has also claimed as his primary residence as recently as 2023, during his campaign for Senate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Beege wrote about this last month<\/a>, so be sure to click through and read the background on the case. This doesn’t just<\/em> involve potential mortgage fraud, by the way, but could also involve tax fraud in either California or Maryland. States offer lower property tax rates for primary residences (homesteads) in exchange for the benefits communities receive when owners occupy their own properties. If Schiff claimed and received homestead benefits in both states at the same time, both states could file civil or criminal claims of tax fraud.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither California nor Maryland will be likely to do that — to a Democrat, anyway. But the possibility still exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is quite possible that the statute of limitations has run out as Schiff changed the Maryland property to a secondary residence in 2020, but that doesn’t change the fact that he broke the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
