Todd Blanche Pours Cold Water Over New Report | Political News
As we reported back in July, a felony 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 virtually 5 minutes long made after the referral, Schiff ranted, claiming he was being focused by President Donald Trump.

So what’s taking place with the case?
MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian unfold a report about Schiff on Thursday, and it did not sound good.

He claimed:
The federal prosecutor in charge of investigating whether or not Sen. Adam Schiff must be charged with mortgage fraud not too long ago told her bosses in Washington she didn’t suppose the case was strong enough to transfer ahead, two sources acquainted with the matter told MSNBC.
A 3rd particular person acquainted with the matter said the case is continuous to be investigated.
Kelly Hayes, the U.S. Attorney in Maryland, met in current days with Todd Blanche, the deputy Attorney General, to update him on the Schiff case, the three people said.
Hayes, an skilled federal prosecutor, told Blanche she didn’t suppose the case against Schiff was strong, two people said. The two said Ed Martin, a controversial senior Justice Department official, is urgent to keep the case alive.
That, of course, went all over the place on the left, because that matches their narrative.
Dilanian later clarified that MSNBC break up with NBC, and cited “former colleagues” at NBC on the report.
Dilanian also unfold this assertion 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.
Breaking: @DilanianMSNBC reports on a recent meeting that never happened. Can you ask your two “sources” for more information? I’m genuinely curious. Excited to hear more about this made-up assembly! Also, unequivocally: U.S. Attorney Hayes has told me no such factor. https://t.co/TUSEgezmww

“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 a lot for that story. And even in the NBC story, they word the case is ongoing, according to their sources.
So if the left thought that they had one thing right here and Schiff thought he may use it, Blanche squashed that, but good.
