Is it mortgage fraud to say that you live in one area and not another area?

Yes, it is mortgage fraud.

So you're not focusing on the fraud.

You're focusing on the investigators for purposes of trying to undermine what it is that she did, allegedly, and what it is that mortgage fraud and the risk that mortgage fraud poses to the system.

And we're not going to be intimidated.

I mean, we swore an oath and we are going to continue to prosecute mortgage fraud.

It doesn't matter whether it's a Republican, a Democrat, a public official, or Joe Blow on the street.

Absolutely.

We discovered this within the confines of our charter that Congress has given us.

We continue to receive tips within the confines that Congress has given us.

As I said, people can go and email us.

They can send us tips.

We encourage that to happen.

And that's how this was sourced.

And it's going to continue to be sourced.

And just because now, somebody said to me earlier today, they said, mortgage fraud is being controversial by some people in the media because you've really hit on power.

And that struck me because I'm like, shouldn't power be against mortgage fraud?

It just doesn't make sense to me now that you have somebody who's in this type of position and now it's controversial and maybe now mortgage fraud isn't mortgage fraud.

I mean, you saw the Federal Reserve president from Kansas City.

That was quite an odd exchange that he had about, you know, blaming the forms and stuff like that.
