| I fully expect there’s going to be way more of these cases. Duffy, Zeldin and Chavez-DeReimer are fairly average citizens compared to the billionaires that dominate Trump’s cabinet. |

That's because it is legal for people who equally split time between residences and/or are on the road a lot. The only time its illegal is when you declare "primary" residence when you intend to rent out the property on a full-time basis. The "intent" element is key for securing a conviction. Btw, Marilyn Mosby's mortgage fraud conviction was just overturned a few months ago by the appeals court. That "fraud" was really tortured - basically she wired $5K to her husband, he turned around and provided the $5K to the transaction and submitted a "gift letter." The "gift letter" was fake, but its not clear why they even bothered with it! https://marylandmatters.org/2025/07/12/appeals-court-overturns-mosbys-mortgage-fraud-conviction-upholds-perjury-charges/ |
| So odd that the Lisa Cook thread had so many posters tut tutting about how she deserved to be fired, prosecuted etc and none of them have shown up in this thread. I’m starting to think none of that was in good faith. |

Bill Pulte is going to get fired for his entire scheme backfiring in his face in a spectacular fashion. He accidentally encouraged teams of reporters to look into all the mortgages of Trump administration officials.
Idiot. |
Since when does Trump fire anyone for incompetence? |
Guess who gets to determine which federal cases should be prosecuted? Go pound sand. |
What is your point? It’s not Bill Pulte. Pulte is now trying to have a US Attorney in Virginia fired, because DOJ didn’t find any evidence that Tish James committed mortgage fraud and has determined that’s a federal case that should not be prosecuted. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-officials-pressuring-federal-prosecutors-bring-criminal-charges/story?id=125636577 |
Plus Pulte's dad lost his fake exemption after Reuters came digging around. FAFO. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/bill-pulte-accused-fed-governor-lisa-cook-fraud-his-relatives-filed-housing-2025-09-05/ Pulte father, stepmother claim dual homestead exemptions in Michigan, Florida Michigan revokes Pulte exemption after Reuters inquiry Bill Pulte accuses Fed governor of similar dual residency claims |
Pulte has been successful at convincing Trump that his lies are true, seemingly. Not so successful at producing evidence that James actually did anything wrong. |
The next MAGA I see discussing anything in good faith will be the very first. |
