The first thing I thought when I read this news is I hope his cellmate is a 7-foot guy named Bubba. I am likely to be disappointed because while it seems that he broke the law, one does not get tossed in the pokey for mortgage fraud. Fannie Mae sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding Schiff’s ownership of a home in Maryland.
“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud,” Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.” Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”
Per the NY Post in 2023, Schiff has owned a spacious 3,420-square-foot home in Maryland for years, yet has simultaneously taken a homeowner’s tax exemption on his much smaller 650-square-foot condo in Burbank, California, designating it as his primary residence.
This maneuver resulted in a $7,000 reduction in property taxes for the congressman, equal to roughly $70 in annual savings. Schiff did not apply for a similar exemption for his Maryland property.
The controversy deepens as tax records show that in 2017, Schiff paid his California property taxes with a check displaying his Maryland address — the only year he used a personal check for this purpose, according to CNN.
Furthermore, evidence from various sources — including past comments, social media posts and records — suggests that Schiff predominantly resides in Maryland, despite officially claiming his Burbank condo as his primary residence. One insider told The Post the congressman is “rarely at his California apartment,” which is a modest one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence In a different state
I am not an expert in California law, since I am not an attorney I am not an expert in any law, but I doubt that California allow it’s Senator to have a primary residence inIn a different state.
Sadly there is no chance of Shiff sharing a prison cell with Bubba, but it will be fun to see him dragged through the mud.;
