Everyone who was against Trump has committed mortgage fraud and is getting busted for it at the same time?
Literally unbelievable.

Democrat Eric Swalwell faces federal criminal inquiry for alleged mortgage fraud
(www.theguardian.com)
Democrats really need to stop committing me mortgage fraud. They'll give a 50 year mortgage to an unemployed baby so why bother with fraud? It would sure save them a lot of legal trouble.
Every instance I've seen with actual details has been improper use of real property tax exemptions. In many states you get a discounted tax rate by declaring your home as your primary residence. If you own several properties you only get the discount on one, which is supposed be the one you live at the most (ie primary residence).
The "fraud" part comes in play if you claim multiple properties as your primary. It's harder to do that if the properties are in the same state, but it's easy if they're in different states since states don't talk with one another. It's so easy that it's often accidental.
We're talking a few grand a year in tax savings. It's ripping off your state by under paying and people in these positions should know better so it's harder to give them sympathy, but elevating what may be an accident to a supposed major scandal is a silly headline making exercise.
And why is this happening? Retribution, of course: first person I recall being attacked in the manner recently was MTG.
Most of TFG's legal troubles are related to financial fraud, especially real-estate related. It’s more projection.
SO many DEMONRATS have committed Mortgage Fraud! As a Republican who Does His Own Research TM this STINKS of a DEEP STATE MORTGAGE FRAUD DEMOCRAT RING! That's the ONLY Explanation! NOW I understand why These People and ONLY these People attacked Trump!
Release the mortgage fraud files!
It’s a badge of honor, really. It shows that you really got to him.
The way he responded to this was really good. He got up there and said "I'm only surprised it took this long for Trump to come after me, bring it on"
Good, everyone that voted to thank ice is bootlicking trash
