The Democrats no longer operate on any semblance of a platform that resembles America. Their position in regards to any moral standard is somewhere out in – well – left field. Their moral compass is so broken, it couldn’t find true north if it had GPS attached. Adam Schiff is the latest leftwing arrogant smug Democrat to be caught traipsing along the line into Illegalville – embroiled in what may be one of the most brazen examples of political hypocrisy this side of the Potomac.
President Trump, in a blistering Truth Social post, alleged that Shifty Schiff is guilty of “possible mortgage fraud.” He alleged that the California Senator misrepresented his primary residence to secure favorable mortgage terms. Schiff, remember, spent years painting Donald J. Trump as the villain in his own political horror story, but now finds himself cast as the crooked protagonist in a scandal that reeks of elitist entitlement and bureaucratic sleight of hand.
Schiff reportedly claimed both his Maryland home and his California condo as “primary residences” between 2009 and 2020 – and it was no clerical error. He provided a sustained pattern of occupancy misrepresentation, according to Fannie Mae investigators. While the memo stops short of using the word “fraud,” the implications are clear: Schiff was trying to game the system to get a cheaper mortgage in Maryland while representing Californians.
Wait? Isn’t that also a violation of the Constitution? Article I, Section 3 of the United States Constitution requires that a Senator is an inhabitant of the State he represents.
Maryland is not California, and you can’t legally be a primary resident of two different States.
Schiff’s defense?
Adam Schiff says the Trump Administration is going after him because it’s all political retaliation – like the Democrats predicted Trump would do before he won the election. They claimed that Trump just wanted to jail his political opponents and would do so without any consideration of the rule of law. He also said that Trump is trying to distract everyone from the Epstein debacle (which isn’t a debacle, but we’ll write about that one later).
Schiff claims he’s been transparent from the start. He was clear about what he was doing, so it’s okay.
That’s like claiming that a bank robber left a note so it’s fine that he emptied the cash drawers and pulled cash from the vault. That doesn’t make it legal and it doesn’t make it right.
Remember, Adam Shifty Schiff is the same political knucklehead who led the impeachment charge against President Trump during his last presidential term, calling for transparency, ethics and accountability. But now that the spotlight has been turned on him, he cries foul and plays the victim. It’s the classic lefty progressive commie Democrat Party playbook: accuse your enemies of the very crimes you commit, then feign outrage when caught.
The real kicker is that Schiff’s alleged mortgage maneuvering could be in violation of both federal and state laws, including California’s election code and Maryland’s fraud statutes. If proven, this goes way beyond the word “scandal.” It’s a felony, and could be punishable by many many years in prison. Yet, the mainstream media has been yawning as the ideological lefty colleagues of Schiff have been circling the wagons.
The political fallout is already beginning. Schiff’s credibility is crumbling faster than Biden’s failing mind. His re-election campaign faces headwinds, and the MAGA base is fired up. This isn’t just about one Senator – it’s about exposing the rot in the Democratic establishment.
What’s next? Investigations? Indictments? Another round of media gaslighting? Whatever happens, remember that the truth always has a way of surfacing. Your sins will always find you out, even when buried under layers of leftist spin.
The American people are tired of being played, and they are finished with the Democratic Party and their corruption – which means Schiff will not simply be able to ride out the storm. The swamp is draining, the tide is turning, and the criminals are being found out.
Are you ready to invest in an orange jumpsuit producer, yet?

I would say Schiff is being as transparent as the creek below the house is after a very heavy rain. Or as my dad would say he is as clear as mud. I would say this won’t get much if any coverage by MSM. Ruins their “Orange Man bad” narrative.
