Schiff Isn't Going to Like This: Todd Blanche Pours Cold Water Over New Report About DOJ Case

As we reported back in July, a criminal referral was made from the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the Department of Justice on Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). The referral raised questions of alleged mortgage fraud. 

Schiff freaked out over that. In a video almost five minutes long made after the referral, Schiff ranted, claiming he was being targeted by President Donald Trump.

So what's happening with the case?

MSNBC's Ken Dilanian spread a report about Schiff on Thursday, and it didn't sound good. 

He claimed: 

The federal prosecutor in charge of investigating whether Sen. Adam Schiff should be charged with mortgage fraud recently told her bosses in Washington she did not think the case was strong enough to move forward, two sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC.

A third person familiar with the matter said the case is continuing to be investigated.

Kelly Hayes, the U.S. Attorney in Maryland, met in recent days with Todd Blanche, the deputy Attorney General, to update him on the Schiff case, the three people said.

Hayes, an experienced federal prosecutor, told Blanche she did not think the case against Schiff was strong, two people said. The two said Ed Martin, a controversial senior Justice Department official, is pressing to keep the case alive.

That, of course, went everywhere on the left, because that fits their narrative. 

Dilanian later clarified that MSNBC split with NBC, and cited "former colleagues" at NBC on the report.

Dilanian also spread this statement from Schiff's lawyer and former U.S. Attorney, Preet Bharara:

“It seems pretty clear that a team of career prosecutors have thoroughly reviewed the politically-motivated allegations against Senator Schiff and found they are unsupported by any evidence and are baseless. The transparently vindictive effort to pursue the Senator has no merit, and if there is any justice left in the Justice Department, this should be the end of the matter.”

But there was a small problem with this story, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The meeting "never happened," he said. He completely obliterated the story. 

"Can you ask your two 'sources' for more info?" Blanche clapped back. "I’m genuinely curious. Excited to hear more about this made-up meeting! Also, unequivocally: U.S. Attorney Hayes has told me no such thing."

Whoops, so much for that story. And even in the NBC story, they note the case is ongoing, according to their sources. 

So if the left thought they had something here and Schiff thought he could use it, Blanche squashed that, but good.

Fun the way the government works now - Blanche *was Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer but then he was appointed Deputy AG but then also he *still represents Trump in his numerous appeals. He both represents Trump as a convicted felon AND he works for the DOJ and runs cover for stories about people Trump feverishly fears to be his enemies. Great, right?

LoL, mortgage fraud. They must think this is a real winner. Until the loan officer doesn’t cooperate. And the bank doesn’t cooperate. And until they learn the borrower honestly reported their intention in writing. Etc. Sounds like another stinker. By USA Kelly Hayes who just indicted Bolton. Whoof.

Sorry, princess rusty, but it's true. What are you going to do about it? 

[SaintsInDome2006 594]

Trump just pardoned a man who was the driver behind $4.3 BILLION in fraud, his operation took money from Al Qaeda, Hamas & ‘Palestinian Islamic Jihad’ aka PIJ (hint, they ain’t nice). The acts included multiple mass ransomware attacks, transactions of sale of child abuse materials & narcotics, blackmail, & fraud.

Carry on.

Isn’t Todd Blanche the same dude that met with the Maxwell lady?

Correct. The personal criminal lawyer for the president, who has also been implicated with Epstein, Blanche, who is simultaneously the Deputy Attorney General, went and met with Maxwell, and then later the DOJ granted Maxwell leniency by shifting her to a lower security prison. Same guy.
