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

Posted on 08/16/2025 12:25:52 AM PDT by Libloather

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 case also includes allegations that James and her father signed mortgage papers listing themselves as “husband and wife” to meet lending rules.

She's the one who married her father.

“Tell me why you’re here,” said the middle aged blonde in navy gym shorts and black tank top.

“We know who lives here . . . You’re not here about the houses. You’re here because of who lives here. It’s my neighborhood. It’s my block. I have a right to know what you guys are doing.”

No, Karen, you don't, you nosy, pushy, entitled leftist.

She was in shorts. Martin in a trench coat like it’s cold out. Interesting choice to wear for him

He definitely stood out

I agree. Dumb move on Martin’s part. Kinda like Gerry Spence in that hat he always used to wear.

Her friends call her “Tish” but I call her (fill in the blank).

The neighbor is a white elitist. There’s a pic of her in the article.

“It’s my neighborhood. It’s my block.”

A true Karen thinks the entire known universe belongs to her.

Lol.

Before I retired we had one of those in our workplace. She was a worker not a manager.

The key to accomplishing anything was to make sure she was not present when critical issues were discussed.

Lol.

If they would have started talking about how great Trump is, her head would have exploded in a ball of gore and brain tissue.
