Interesting side note: tRump lackey Bill Pulte (of massively wealthy home builder family fame), heading US federal mortgage agencies, also accused Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve governor, of mortgage fraud.

But Pulte's parents (the massively wealthy homebuilders) made tax claims on a couple of their homes that amounts to tax fraud. Their state took notice and took action against them this year.

See post 14. The indictment involves a different purchase and different charge (but is nevertheless likely crap) pat_k Oct 2025 #17

There was a page on a document where the box was checked that avebury Oct 2025 #12

No. That was the debunked case on the 2023 purchase. The likely BS Indictment is on a 2020 purchase. pat_k Oct 2025 #15

The debunked case was related to a 2023 purchase. This is related to a 2020 purchase. Nevertheless, likely bullshit. pat_k Oct 2025 #14

One thing that rarely gets mentioned in coverage of these cases (hers and Schiff's) dsc Oct 2025 #11

Remains to be seen. This indictment isn't related to the 2023 debunked case. It is related to a 2020 purchase pat_k Oct 2025 #19
