Senator Adam Schiff is finally facing the music for his shady financial dealings. The California Democrat is under federal criminal investigation for mortgage fraud after years of allegedly cheating the system. This is the same man who spent years trying to destroy President Trump with phony impeachment charges.
The Justice Department is investigating how Schiff claimed two different homes as his primary residence at the same time. One property was in Maryland and another in California. By doing this dirty trick, he got better loan terms and saved thousands in taxes that regular Americans have to pay.
Schiff bought his Maryland home in 2003 and called it his primary residence. Then in 2009, he bought a California condo and also claimed that as his primary home. For over ten years, he played this game while honest families followed the rules and paid their fair share.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency found that Schiff lied on bank documents to get better deals. They discovered a pattern of fraud across five different loans. Fannie Mae investigators said he showed a sustained pattern of lying about where he really lived.
This investigation proves what conservatives have known all along about Schiff. He is a corrupt politician who thinks rules don’t apply to him. While he was busy attacking President Trump, he was allegedly breaking federal laws to line his own pockets.
Hardworking Americans who play by the rules should be outraged by this scandal. Schiff saved money by cheating while regular families pay full price for their mortgages and taxes. This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that voters are sick of seeing.
The timing of this investigation is perfect justice. Schiff spent years trying to take down President Trump with fake charges. Now he is facing real criminal charges for his own alleged crimes. What goes around comes around.
President Trump was right to call out the corruption in Washington. Schiff represents everything wrong with the political establishment. If he broke the law, he should face the same consequences as any other American who commits fraud.
