Let me tell you something about Washington insiders. For years, they operated by a different set of rules. They weaponized the justice system against their political opponents. Meanwhile, they believed themselves untouchable. The wheels of justice turn slowly in the nation’s capital. But recent developments suggest they’re finally catching up to those who thought they were above the law.

The era of accountability may finally be arriving for the political elite. You know, the ones who spent years targeting others while ignoring their own misdeeds. What makes this moment particularly satisfying? Watching those who led partisan witch hunts now find themselves on the receiving end of serious criminal scrutiny. (And honestly, it’s about time.)

From The Post Millennial:

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is being criminally investigated for possible mortgage fraud. This comes after he was criminally referred to the Department of Justice.

The investigation is being conducted by the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland and the criminal probe was first reported by the Ingraham Angle on Fox News.

Here’s where it gets good. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) now faces a criminal investigation by the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland. The charge? Alleged mortgage fraud. Can you believe the irony? The same man who relentlessly pursued President Trump during the Russia hoax—sorry, “investigation”—and led the first impeachment effort is now under federal investigation. Turns out he potentially defrauded lenders over multiple properties spanning nearly two decades.

According to the referral, Schiff allegedly claimed both his Burbank, California home and his Maryland residence as primary residences. Why? To secure more favorable mortgage rates. That’s a serious federal offense. We’re talking potential charges for wire fraud, mail fraud, and bank fraud.

A Pattern of Deception

The alleged scheme ran from 2003 to 2019. That’s sixteen years, people. Schiff reportedly falsified bank documents and property records during multiple refinancing transactions. Between 2009 and 2013, he listed his fancy Maryland home as his primary residence. But here’s the kicker—he was simultaneously claiming a homeowner’s tax exemption on his California condo. Which he also said was his primary residence. How does that work exactly?

This wasn’t a simple oversight. The Maryland property wasn’t correctly listed as a secondary residence until 2020. That suggests a sustained pattern of lying. As Pulte noted in his referral letter, Schiff “appears to have been aware of the financial benefits.” You think? Of course he knew primary residence mortgages come with better rates than secondary ones. That’s the whole point of the alleged fraud.

The Tables Have Turned

President Trump never misses an opportunity to call out his enemies. And boy, did he have something to say about this one.

From ‘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.

You’ve got to love it. The irony is impossible to ignore. The man who spent years pursuing Trump on made-up grounds? The one who made wild claims about Russian collusion that never materialized? The guy who was ultimately censured by Congress for his conduct? Now he’s under criminal investigation for alleged financial crimes. And unlike the Russia nonsense, this one has lots of paperwork to back it up.

Schiff’s response has been totally predictable. He’s claiming it’s all “political retribution” and trying to deflect. He even brought up unrelated matters to muddy the waters. (Sound familiar?) But here’s the thing—federal investigators don’t open criminal probes based on political vendettas. They follow evidence. And in this case, the paper trail appears pretty damning.

Key Takeaways

• Senator Adam Schiff faces federal criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud spanning nearly two decades
• The man who led Trump’s first impeachment allegedly claimed multiple primary residences for better loan rates
• Federal agencies made criminal referrals despite Schiff’s claims of “political retribution”
• Justice is finally catching up to Washington elites who thought they were untouchable
