I’ve been seeing reports like this since November, and it’s confusing.
Bish is a realtor, so she does not know the inner workings of the DOJ.

Christine Bish, a Realtor in California’s Sacramento Valley, sent a trove of documents to FHFA Director Bill Pulte. Now the DoJ, FBI and FHFA want to know who else she’s talked to…

A Realtor whose tip to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s federal regulator led to a criminal referral of California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff is now a witness in a grand jury investigation into the handling of the case.

Christine Bish — a former skip tracer who has worked in real estate in California’s Sacramento Valley for more than two decades — told Inman she sent documents she’s been gathering for several years about Schiff’s homes in Maryland and California to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in April.

FHFA Director Bill Pulte then sent a criminal referral letter to the Department of Justice in May, alleging that Schiff committed mortgage fraud when purchasing and refinancing a home he owns in Maryland by claiming it as his primary residence. But Schiff says he’s innocent and has yet to be charged.

Department of Justice prosecutors in Maryland who were assigned the case haven’t uncovered enough evidence to charge Schiff, NBC News reported last month, citing four anonymous sources familiar with the investigation.

Bish — a Republican who is in a strong position to win a seat in Congress next year on her fourth attempt — was summoned to testify before a grand jury in Maryland on Nov. 20. She assumed she would be asked about Schiff’s properties.

“I’m the author of the report that initiated the DOJ referral, and I’m the key witness,” Bish posted on X on Nov. 16. “I would know if this case was going nowhere. I’ll be in Maryland next week to lock down the key points. This isn’t fading away just because the political class wishes it would. It’s just getting started.”

But it turned out that investigators were more interested in Bish’s dealings with Pulte and Justice Department attorney Ed Martin — and people who claimed to be acting on their behalf, according to a subpoena of Bish obtained by NBC News.

Instead of testifying before a grand jury when she arrived at a federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, Bish “was pulled into a conference room” and questioned about her ties to Pulte and Martin, The New York Times reported.

The Department of Justice appears to be trying to identify “any administration officials or their subordinates or intermediaries who might have shared information about the inquiry into Mr. Schiff with people not formally involved in it,” the Times reported. “The concern is that such sharing could taint the investigation, which is already seen as weak and politically motivated, according to people familiar with the move.”

⬆️ That doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.

…Bish told Inman she was asked to verify information that a national news outlet had gathered and was preparing to report, casting doubts on the propriety of mortgages taken out by a Trump administration official, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“I thought it was like a test, to find out if I was the real deal,” Bish said of the request.

She said she had “no clue who Todd Blanche was” but “went and verified what information they had” about his [Blanche’s] mortgages and found no fault with them.

According to MS Now, Blanche is helping oversee the probe of the investigation into Pulte and Martin’s methods, having reportedly “grown concerned about unforced errors in Justice Department investigations.”

…Bish told the Washington Post that she was grilled last week by a federal prosecutor, an FBI agent and an employee of the FHFA Inspector General — and told them that their focus on Pulte and Martin made them come across like the “Keystone Kops.”

A Department of Justice spokesperson told the Post that it “is united as one team to execute on our mission to follow the facts in every case, prosecute crime, and make America safe again.”

Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Attorney General Pam Bondi, said on X that the investigation is aimed at establishing the chain of custody of documents and figuring out “exactly who is talking to who [sic] so there are no surprises. DOJ isn’t investigating their own. They are getting ready to drop a bomb on Adam Schiff.”

This could be a case of someone who knows nothing about what is going on speaking out about something of which she is ignorant. She had expectations going in to the meeting, and just because it wasn’t as she had imagined, she thinks something is wrong. If the goal of the AG’s office at that time was to do some internal cleanup instead of immediately throwing the book at people, that is the kind of thing that makes the public think nothing is happening. I remember seeing an article where the DOJ said it was not investigating its own.

I find it extremely hard to believe that the DOJ has been going after its own high-level employees and letting Schiff skate.

It would be good if they would communicate to stop this woman’s speculation, but that might not be feasible. There is probably a lot more to the story.
