Adam Schiff Under Criminal Investigation for Mortgage Fraud, DOJ Referred by Federal Housing Agency
Breitbart ^ | 08/06/2025 | Jasmyn Jodan

*** A federal criminal investigation is underway into Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) over allegations of mortgage fraud, Fox News reported Tuesday night. The probe is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland and follows a criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to the Department of Justice.

According to the FHFA referral obtained by Fox News, Schiff allegedly falsified bank documents and property records to obtain more favorable loan terms on multiple occasions. In a letter dated May 2025, FHFA Director William Pulte wrote that Schiff’s conduct “jeopardizes the safety and soundness of FHFA’s regulated entities and the security and stability of the U.S. mortgage market.”

The letter states that Schiff and his wife purchased a home in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003 for $870,000 and secured a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage of $610,000 under the condition that the home would be their primary residence. Despite this certification, Schiff continued to represent California in Congress and claimed a homeowner’s exemption for a separate property in Burbank, California.

The FHFA letter alleges that Schiff reaffirmed the Maryland home as his primary residence in refinancing filings from 2009 to 2013, even as he represented California in the U.S. House. Schiff’s office did not list the Maryland property as a secondary residence until 2020. Meanwhile, the California condo, also claimed as a primary residence, qualified him for a $7,000 reduction in property taxes, according to the letter.

A memo from Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Investigations Unit reportedly concluded that Schiff engaged in “a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation” across five Fannie Mae loans. The FHFA has cited possible violations of federal statutes related to wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements to financial institutions.

Look forward to

(I’m not serious).

He’ll get away with everything, of course.

Didn’t Obama get away with real estate fraud but just saying he did “something stupid” or some such?

Agree.

But you need irrefutable, documented evidence.

Think of it as analogous to when they took down Al Capone for “tax evasion”.

Mitch McDeere: I got mine, Wayne, you get the rest of them.

Wayne Tarrance: Get ‘em with what? Overbilling, mail fraud? Oh, that’s exciting.

Mitch McDeere: It’s not sexy, but it’s got teeth! Ten thousand dollars and five years in prison. That’s ten and five for each act. Have you really looked at that? You’ve got every partner in the firm on overbilling. There’s two hundred fifty acts of documented mail fraud there. That’s racketeering! That’s minimum one thousand, two hundred fifty years in prison and half a million dollars in fines. That’s more than you had on Capone.

Wouldn’t be a shame if he got convicted and sent to prison where he was gang raped by Bubba and the boys?

I mean that would just awful. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Thank you.

A) If his primary residence is Msryland, why is he representing Commiefornia?

2) How much did he avoid in mortgage interest payments by claiming his Maryland residence as his primary residence?

Did he evade any taxes by claiming his Maryland residence as his primary residence?

Or is tax evasion a thing anymore?

similar to the charges filed against Trump and why he was tried by Letitia James.

The typical mortgage rate differential would be 0.25-0.50% more on a $610,000 mortgage, or starting out in 2003 at $1,525-$3,050 or more per year.

Additionally, Schiff took a homeowner's tax exemption for a California condo claiming it as the primary residence, saving about $7,000 annually on property taxes there.

gang raped by Bubba and the boys

Early in my career, I did a lot if criminal law. One of the most under reported stories is the rape of white inmates by blacks. It is ubiquitous. I literally had a number of black clients tell my that it isn't gay if they aren't the “catchers”. A common practice was for 5 blacks to team up against a white. Each would hold a leg or arm. The fifth would rape. After the fifth finished, they would change positions and so on…. A number of prison guards acknowledged that this was common practice. They generally wouldn't interfere.
