Trump did same thing his administration is now calling ‘mortgage fraud’ in case against Fed governor Lisa Cook
Donald Trump signed mortgage documents in the 1990s claiming two separate Florida properties would each serve as his principal residence – the same thing his administration is calling “mortgage fraud” when done by political rivals, records show.
ProPublica unearthed documents demonstrating that within seven weeks of each other in late 1993 and early 1994, the president obtained loans for neighboring Palm Beach homes, pledging each would be his primary dwelling. Instead of living in them, though, he rented both out as investment properties.
There is no suggestion that the activity is or was illegal, and proving intent is key in fraud cases. Yet Trump has called the same behavior – having two primary dwelling mortgages – “deceitful and potentially criminal” in relation to mortgage fraud charges against the Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook. The Trump administration is bringing several similar cases against the New York attorney general, Letitia James, the senator Adam Schiff and the congressman Eric Swalwell.
And? A crime boss wannabe committed crimes!
You don’t say!
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Criminal commited yet another crime. Film at 11.
Or rather, don’t, because I’d have to see his fuckface and maybe be forced to hear his fuckvoice. Just go gargle Bubba’s semen until you choke, fathead.
I am so tired of this man’s continued existence.
If people outside the US could vote, we wouldn’t have this problem.
If people inside the US had voted we wouldn’t have this problem.
Right, lefties?
People outside the US can vote and are having this problem. Fascism is on the rise worldwide.
People outside the US buying politicians is a large part of why we’re in this mess. Their “vote” counts more than US citizens’
If people inside the US hadn’t voted for a fascist Nazi and others hadn’t continually allowed the centre-right to keep moving the needle then you wouldn’t have this problem either. It’s not the people with morals that are a problem in that dumpster fire, it’s the tens of millions of people who actively and aggressively support full-blown fascism. Trump should havd been a weird joke and left at that.

Since I don’t routinely hang around with stupid people, it’s easy to forget how profoundly stupid so many people are. Not just that they don’t know stuff, even though that’s a big factor as well. Just their ability to reason is toddler level. Like patrick in that meme with the wallet.
Every accusation… yada yada yada.
Not to mention I believe it was Rueters who reviewed the documentation showing she listed it as a vacation home in the application… Meaning as always we are just wasting tax money
At this point journalists should just treat everything he accuses other people of doing as a tip to look into it in Trump’s past.
The thing is, it’s only illegal if someone else does it. If Trump does it then it’s totally cool and correct and you’re an idiot for not doing it, but if you did we’d investigate you anyway because now it’s illegal.
If only it mattered.
Could have mattered in the periods of 2015-2016, 2021-2023. At this point its very far down the stack.
Can’t wait for his “press corps” to lob that one at him.
