You have to have the courage to do these kinds of things.
But I can imagine the chilling effect that happens when there is
a prosecutor in a state AG's office or a county DA's office, and they see what's happening to others around the country.
And you just say, this one's hard.
Let's skip this one and move on to something else that's more low level so that I don't have to worry about the consequences.
So mortgage fraud is a crime that gets charged with some frequency.
It was charged in my former office a great deal, especially after the 2008 financial meltdown.
But it requires more than conflicting statements.
So it appears that Adam Schiff may have checked the box on two different properties to say they would be his primary residence.
And logic tells us that a person cannot have more than one primary residence.
So on its face, it's a red flag, and it might merit further investigation.
But that alone is not evidence of mortgage fraud.
Mortgage fraud requires that a person make a false statement.
That could be false.
But they do so knowingly, so not a mistake, not an error.
That they do so willfully.
That is, I knew it was illegal, and I did it anyway.
And that the statement is material.
That means it mattered.
The person got either better loan terms or they qualified for a loan that otherwise would have been rejected.
