Trump attacks Shifty Adam Schiff again [1]

We went through 5 days ago when Trump arm-wrestled William Pulte to have the Financial Crimes Division of Fannie Mae to investigate Adam Schiff for this house in Maryland and his condo in Burbank, California.

Schiff last went through this in 2023 by the Republican controlled House. Nothing happened. Nothing is going to happen this time either. When you get a mortgage on a property, the lender wants to know if the property is being occupied by the owner, or if it is a rental/lease or vacation property. Schiff occupies both places during the year. Maryland, so he's close to DC, and Burbank, so he can see constituents and handle business in California. Neither one is a vacation home.

For the purpose of income taxes, driver's license, voter registration, mail, where cars are registered, there can only be one primary residence. You can, however, have two primary residences for the purposes of loans and mortgages, if the job requires two residences. Guess what would qualify? It should be US Senators and Representatives, but it may not. Neither one is a vacation property. Each property has been designated as a primary residence at different times.

If the the declaration of it being the primary residence is to get more favorable interest rates on both properties, that would be mortgage fraud. If it is declared that both are primary residences, and you let the lender know that there are two of them and you only get favorable rates on one, that is not mortgage fraud.

Records show that Schiff claim the Maryland home as his primary residence in 2009, 2011, 2013 and then changed it to a secondary residence in 2020. This was all brought up in November of 2023. Nothing happened then, and everyone knew about the situation, so why is it a problem now? It's a problem because Trump wants it to be a problem.

We have absolutely no idea what Adam Schiff told the lenders, and what they recorded besides the primary residence declaration. We don't know where the favorable mortgage rates were. If he got them on both residences, then that's bad.

I've seen Adam Schiff on MSNBC shows where after Trump talked about the problem 5 days ago, Schiff basically laughed it off and asked Trump, "Is that the best you can do?"

Then, there is the confusing factor that Adam Schiff received a pardon from Joe Biden. Ostensibly this was for being on the January 6th Committee, which Donald Trump promised he would go after all their members. This put Schiff out of Trump's grasp. But it was a full and unconditional pardon. That literally means for everything even though the intention was just to cover being on the January 6th Committee. When he received the pardon, Schiff said that the pardon was unnecessary and unwise.

Now, that I've completely muddied the water, this is what Trump put out today.

"Adam Schiff is a THIEF!"

Doesn't mince words, does he? It is ironic that Trump would claim someone else's a thief when he is the world's greatest kleptomaniac.

"He should be prosecuted, just like they tried to prosecute me, and everyone else --- "

"Tried to prosecute" isn't the same as prosecute. You wiggled out of everything. And just who is everyone else?

"The only difference is, WE WERE TOTALLY INNOCENT, IT WAS ALL A GIANT HOAX!"

Yes, Donald is shouting again. Even the most innocent faces can produce the largest lies. Donald Trump does not have an innocent face. Everything is a hoax to Donald Trump if it's negative on him.

Then Trump put up this as proof of Adam Schiff's criminality:

It shows just the 2011 declaration. One of them means nothing. Put all the 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2020 together with any additional material that was part of the mortgages, then you maybe have something. My question is still, if there was a problem, why did nothing happen in 2023 when the information that's being used now came out?

Is it just another ruse of Trump's? Something to throw out and deflect from the Epstein files? I guess it depends on how often he says it. There is the presidential pardon to really throw things into a whirlpool. This could be just blowing hot air with nothing anyone can do about anything Adam Schiff did before he got the pardon.

Another trip to TrumpWorld. But it's not a very fun amusement park.
