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.

    I’m sure a non corrupt politician will get the non corrupt investigators from the non corrupt part of the FBI/DOJ to arrest him for this crime once they’ve investigated him for the:

    • The child rapes
    • The child trafficking (differs from the above rapes)
    • The insurrection thing
    • The stealing of top secret documents and putting them next to a fax machine in an unlocked toilet so they could be faxed to other countries thing
    • The attempted deletion of incriminating videos by trying to flood a server with a swimming pool thing
    • The rapes and sexual assaults (of women this time. Not kids)
    • The murders of fisherman thing
    • The blatant bribery for official pardons thing
    • The kidnapping of people from the streets and sending them to El Salvador thing
    • And loads of other obvious crimes that he’s done over his life THAT HE’S FELT NO FUCKING CONSEQUENCES FOR.

    Christ, there’s so many horrible things that should’ve got this fat cunt killed, hanged, or jailed that the above list cannot even scratch the surface. Yet you fuckers voted him to be president… TWICE!! FUCKS SAKE.
