The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Someone with Schiff's regard for integrity wouldn't game out a mortgage loan, surely. I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for it all.

We'll see. If he's done something wrong, he should face the consequences. Just like Trump did, right? Oh. That's right, proven criminal Trump instead got re-elected. No consequences for him.

But then, your source is the New York Post.

Fannie Mae investigators did not say they had concluded that a crime had been committed, nor did they mention the word ‘fraud’ in a memo reviewed by The Times.

Schiff suggested Trump’s accusation was an effort to distract from a growing controversy over the administration’s failure to disclose more investigative records into child sex abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.


latimes.com - Trump accuses schiff of mortgage fraud which schiff calls false political retaliation

Probably a nothing-burger.

On the other hand:

“This is just Donald Trump’s latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies. So it is not a surprise, only how weak this false allegation turns out to be,” Schiff wrote on X. “And much as Trump may hope, this smear will not distract from his Epstein files problem.”

Yep, seems most likely.

Come on Dope...when it comes to corruption, this administration takes the prize for most corrupt ever.
