She said she kept trying to steer ofcls back toward #AdamSchiff’s records. But they appeared more interested in learning who had contacted her about her findings, what they asked her & how they identified themselves….

Bish said she started digging into Schiff’s mortgage records years ago when she was running for #Congress in Sacramento & conducting opposition research on other politicians.​

Bish—who has spent years gathering evidence through public records against #AdamSchiff & other [Democrat] politicians who she believes are defrauding voters because they spend too much time in Washington [& she likely consumes a lot of right wing media] — said she was shocked that investigators didn’t ask her more questions about the case.

#AdamSchiff, #LetitiaJames & #LisaCook all deny wrongdoing.

The cases have been controversial within the #DOJ. In the Eastern District of Virginia — where James was indicted — multiple prosecutors were pushed out, including Trump’s pick to run the office, in part because they did not believe there was sufficient evidence to bring charges….

Bish’s brief visit to Washington — & accompanying media blitz — showed how #BillPulte, #EdMartin & their confidants are operating, with direct messages to strangers on social media & out-of-the-blue phone calls. And it revealed weaknesses in the mortgage fraud case against #AdamSchiff, one of the president’s Democratic foes.

#EdMartin & #BillPulte are not being investigated by a grand jury, according to a person familiar with the investigation…. Grand jury probes are just one way that officials can investigate conduct, though they are a necessary step in securing indictments.

Yet the interactions highlight the unconventional & sometimes erratic nature of the #Trump admin’s attempt to prosecute #Democrats on charges of mortgage fraud.

Prosecutors spent >1 hr questioning Bish Thursday about her communications with #DOJ ofcl [& #Jan6 advocate] #EdMartin, #FHFA Dir #BillPulte & others. They appeared to focus on whether these ofcls divulged information about the criminal investigation into #AdamSchiff to unauthorized people & repeatedly asked Bish whom she talked to….A subpoena issued to Bish…also shows that investigators appear focused on anyone she communicated with who claimed to be affiliated with Martin & Pulte.
