DOJ Special Attorney Ed Martin checks out Tish James’ ‘mortgage fraud’ home after being tapped for probes
NY Post ^ | 8/15/25 | Miranda Devine

Department of Justice Special Attorney Ed Martin was spotted in Brooklyn Friday inspecting Tish James’ multi-family residential property that is at the center of a federal mortgage fraud investigation.

Martin, conspicuous in a beige trench coat, visited the Clinton Hill brownstone a week after being appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi to run parallel mortgage fraud probes into the New York attorney general and her fellow Trump-deranged Democrat, California Sen. Adam Schiff.

Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are currently weighing criminal indictments for James and Schiff respectively over allegations they falsified property records to secure favorable loan terms.

James’ Brooklyn property at 296 Lafayette Avenue is classified as a five-unit dwelling, but James is alleged to have misrepresented the building on mortgage applications, building permits, and filings for government assistance as having only four units.

The alleged misclassification allowed her to qualify for loans with better interest rates and lower down payments through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are only available for properties with four or fewer residential units.

At the time Martin was inspecting the property on Friday afternoon, there was one doorbell visible at the main entrance and an additional four door bells at a side entrance, with weathered labels signifying “1 Floor,” “2 Floor,” “3A,” and “3B.”

A neighbor confronted Martin and an unidentified colleague as they were standing out the front of the property and asked them what they were doing.

The jokes write themselves.

Brooklyn is overrun with insufferable white liberals from parts unknown.

A section of Manhattan is also called “Chelsea” which use to be called “Hells kitchen”. I grew up NYC and I swear as God as my witness I never ever heard neighborhoods in NYC using those names “Chelsea and Clinton hill” until the Clinton crime family took the White house.

Not really. I mean, who cares if he stood out? He wasn’t under cover.
