If there are ever consequences for the illegality of this administration, three quarters of it will be regular employees violating privacy/data laws.
It’s really rich for this administration to be going after political enemies for inaccuracies in real estate transactions
@brianfloyd.bsky.social
It’s corruption.
"Y'all fucked with Trump by illegally investigating him. Now the rabbit has the gun!" My #MAGA brother.
Exactly. An abuse of power. You don’t really think Elon Musk and “Big Balls” who got has ass handed to him by a 15 year old girl… we’re digging around in government records looking for proof of Aliens or “waste, fraud, & abuse” do you? It was a political hit job, and they needed a list…
Wow.
Abuse of power in the position-highly unethical boycott Pulte !!
For context, it might help to know that pulte is filthy freaking rich. And he's an absolute dirtbag who hides behind the veneer of petty philanthropy
Not good. Doesn’t sound legal.
At least it’s comforting that the one making the accusation of fraud has never committed fraud himself. www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/nc...
And there was the little matter of inflating the size of his Trump Tower apartment from 11000 sq ft to 33000 sq ft to secure a bigger bank loan.
📌
Even the hallucination if impropriety is enough to fire a black woman.
Abbe Lowell is well positioned to use 'discovery' in Cook's lawsuit to discover the truth behind this apparent "selective prosecution," and put the kibosh on Trump's meddling in Fed business. www.businessinsider.com/trump-says-r...
📌
One more sycophant to build on Trumps fascism
Pulte is about to learn the most important lesson that all the idiots who carry his water do: Everything Trump Touches Dies. #ETTD
Follow it to Trump.
When this is all over Pulte can share prison with Kash Patel.
Dude, you know that they’ve investigated every single fed chair to see who they could target. Come on now.
100% what happened, fishing for any excuse to make any accusation so that the guy with 34 felons can have an excuse to destroy the independence of the fed.
I wonder how they will get an indictment against Cook - of course Trumpy scammed his insurance company for millions for non existent hurricane damage😠
It was a hit and everyone knows it. They surely will have something on their replacements to retain control.
oh, you can bet they have their enemies list and are digging for any thing remotely resembling dirt since they are petty, petty babies.
I'm betting that in the end, this becomes a nightmare for Pulte who will be forced out owing tons in judgments from Cook's successful lawsuits. As for Trump, he'll say, " who's this guy Pulte? Never heard of him."
Ken Paxton????
How lucky for Bill … the phone is ringing off the hook with whistleblowers outing high profile government employees :)

Shit this is bad.
Why don't you ask Chat GPT: Bill Pulte, the Director of (FHFA), publicly stated that "there was a tip that we received" The Daily Beast reports Pulte utilized an AI-powered Crime Detection Unit (CDU)—developed in partnership with Palantir These AI findings then led to the criminal referral
Every American's private data is now in the hands of trump's team and their foreign handlers We are really really screwed
Shocking, simply shocking.
Of course
Agreed. Plus, why are privacy laws not being discussed. I work in finance and our client privacy is at the top of our legal fiduciary... do federal agencies get a privacy pass?
The privacy laws for federal agencies are quite strict. Trump and Co. have decided to ignore them for the most part.
Of course he did. This is the retribution tour. He said so himself.
Now do that same inspection on any/all GOP representative or appointee, include all criminal fraud charges and complaints.
Do we expect that trump has always been truthful on mortgage and loan applications? I thought not!
We already know for a fact that he has not. ag.ny.gov/sites/defaul...
We need a whistleblower, stat.
This is so blatantly bad.
Yup sure sounds exactly like that...
Pulte is apparently manipulating agency processes for the express purpose of creating a pretext for referring matters involving Trump’s designated enemies to DOJ. It’s probable that the only way the mortgages of three leading Trump foes could all face scrutiny is if Pulte personally ordered it.

Interested in more information about Bill Pulte? Go to Reddit and search for "Ploot" and "GME Meltdown" for starters.
If you don't believe Pulte did this illegally you haven't been paying attention
Today's word: "retribution"
SCOTUS, POTUS, DOJ, AG, DoD, Senate GOP, Speaker, House GOP, and their minions are all playing fast and loose Calvinball with the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law, the separation of powers, our international reputation and the honor of our country! SAD! #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸
You nailed that Carl. This creep is combing through people's personal files to "Trump" up charges against his enemies.
Cook, et. al., may have been id'ed from a 2023 Philly Fed study, which found 22K people with two owner-occupied mortgages taken out w/in 12 mos. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
But not sure ... www.latimes.com/business/sto...
Bill Pulte is no longer on the board of PulteGroup (Pulte Homes), the company founded by his grandfather. But should Pulte corporate publicly distance from Bill Pulte to mitigate risk of brand damage? bsky.app/profile/nanc...
This is the guy that would announce giving away cash to people over on twitter?
Yep. His fake sweepstakes where he wanted ppl to contribute money for the sweepstakes prize pools & the winners were his associates. Then he got involved in crypto and Bed Bath & Beyond and GameStop memestocks, pretending he had insider info. On Reddit he's referred to as "Ploot"
Well, seems like his resume is a perfect fit for his position in the administration 2.0 then. Don’t you think?
#TemuTrump
When I saw his name I gagged. Pulte dies not have a good reputation in Texas already!
Terrible Homes. Cheaply Made!
At 10 am Pulte will become another collateral damage schmuck, that trump hired and now will fire! Let's see if he is a man or a mouse and rats out the orange creep when the screws comes down on him in a jail cell.
I doubt it, they are all afraid he is going to kill them! That is why we have the prolific saying:" if you work with or know trump, you will end up inn jail or dead!" Because this is what he wrangles all the morons into!
Brand damage? They have a history of building crappy homes.
Turn the tables... investigate every single one of them #InvestigateTheInvestigstors
Look what it did for tesla. F bill pulte
Right wasn't he giving away money last year on Twitter?
Exactly 💯
This is absolutely what they’re doing and will continue to do. And, it’s very much of the same flavor as Trump’s multiple felonies.
PulteGroup has a reputation for poorly built homes and years of ongoing lawsuits related to this as well as lawsuits involving top executives (too many to reference here). Just another real estate mogul skirting ethics and laws to give the wanna be dictator what he wants.
He's not even a "mogul" He's the scammy, scummy, vicious, scheming half-wit grandson of the founder of PulteGroup. He's got no business, NONE AT ALL, heading up that federal agency. Dude is in place to attack Trump's enemies. That's his real "qualification".
Go to Reddit and search for "Pulte" "Ploot" and "GME Meltdown" for starters to get a bigger picture what kinda fraudulent whacko this guy is. Here's a recent post: www.reddit.com/r/gme_meltdo...
Reporters: “there's probably a paper trail about this..you might want to fire up your FOlA machines or start calling your contacts at the GSEs.That's got to be how the DOJ indictment of Senator Adam Schiff and NY Attorney General Letitia James arose too.” @nytimeses.nytimes.com @maddow.msnbc.com
Remember when they briefly wanted to appoint a DOGE/Musk guy to the Fannie Mae board?
I thought the same
How Putinesque. Use the levers of finance to go after your political enemies and in the act get silence of those thinking of standing against you
what! #Trump seeking retribution when he said he was going to go so???? Yet 70 million voted for him, either they did not believe him or they wanted a dictator, either way not the brightest people.
Bill Pulte should resign!
How about President Rump lying about squate footage of his condo! What a retard! People don't forget that he is a crook.
Pulte is example #1 of why we need to restore pre-Reagan estate taxes.
Imagine this energy when Countrywide destroyed the world economy. No one went to jail.
I do NOT have the room for all these old white criminals in trump administration 👹 God do something man
When do they charge Ken Paxton?
Trump overstated the size of his rump tower apartment by 20K square feet. It is inconceivable anyone with a lifetime of real estate experience would make that mistake.
Certainly looks that way, and why any woman with the education and business experience she has would try mortgage fraud strains credibility.
Trying to prove she willfully and deliberately tried to deceive the lenders is going to be awfully hard to prove. She was vetted thoroughly, presumably, before her appointment to the Reserve Board.
There has to be a list, it’s not a coincidence they called out a democratic senator as well just a few weeks ago.
Yeah, no kidding.
📌
Exactly what's happening
I suppose the DEEP STATE can makeup and or forge any evidence on ANY OF US. It is not just immigrants anymore they are coming for us, the citizens!
Quite likely it was illegal for him to have accessed those files.
Pulte needs to be locked up. Garbage person.
Exactly! "Many people are saying Pulte is corrupt and needs to be investigated" take a page from Dumps playbook... #InvestigsteTheIvestigators
Bingo!
........AND he lied to you in response to your question.
And hence your question "How did the file hit your desk" was a really, really, really, really good one. 😀
And since every accusation is a confession with this lot, I would be interested in seeing Pulte loan applications.
Don't be surprised when the court finds out that he exchanged the page (s) for AI inspired ones with her/his signature on it..I have every doc I signed at any closing I have ever had. I didn't look to see if that page is a separate one or one with a lot of obscure questions that I let my attorneys
fill out when I gave them a POA for a closing when I was going to be late or not attend! I can't wait to see Texas asshole Paxton get fired from Texas because he listed 5 houses he lives in..the creep has been convicted of crimes and Texas still votes for the criminal...we all know what happens
when you vote for criminals! You get burned, very badly, then get bitten in the ass! Texans are dense ..that is why they all need to carry guns, they can't defend themselves verbally because they don't have the intelligence, but use brut force like the asshole they are, to make up for,the mushrooms!
100%
Considering his ancestry, it's horrifying and embarrassing to see him do anything at all, really. His family is appropriately horrified.
He really means HIS powers should not be questioned, he has tump in his little lands, he knows it. Miller is the ersatz president.
Frightening huh?
Retard!
This fits him perfectly...
Get after this piece of shit Bill Pulte. Ruin him and his family business. I heard what he did on Monday morning.
That would explain how suddenly mortgage fraud has become what trump & his regime are using to harass people who have stood up to him. My bet is a lot of real fraud would be found if this tactic was used to research trump’s & his family’s real estate dealings.
New York State did that very research and got a judgment against him for $450 million. The state Supreme Court just tossed out the fine.
Gee, I wonder why she was targeted 🤔 Appointed by Biden 1st black women on FRB
His abject partisanship is exactly why Pulte got the job.
Pulte is like a puppy who pees on the carpet and loves his master.
Bill Pulte in song form: youtu.be/HnGLMtGO290?...
Of course. It applies to all of Trumo’s people. This is not Trump 1.
He’s there to manage Fannie and Freddie and Ginnie and Sallie. FHFA has no place making criminal referrals. Full stop.
AND her appointment is until 2038, so her replacement appointment would be a LONG-term corrupt appointment, like his Supremely Corrupt Court hacks who removed women's rights, legalized bribery and made him King Above Laws.
Or from some Govt Agency, like IRS.
Do you get frustrated with your colleagues when they never push back on the funnel of lies and misinformation? I just watched the Lutnick interview and they all just shake their heads and nod which makes the average viewer assume what is being said is truthful. And it’s not!!
The media has MADE Dumpy who he is! They are all to scared to ask questions.
They can’t fire her without cause so, they had to dig up something in a hurry.
FHFA is a regulator for Fannie and Freddie, but they can't direct which loans to approve, deny, or pull for review. If there is a list, every member of the C-suite at both companies should immediately resign.
Sigh. Legacy media just keeps missing the real stories. By design no doubt. Dems need a national social messaging team to hammer whats happening across departments, across the country.
“I am your retribution”…& while he’s at it, he’s retaliating against his political opponents. Yet, pundits still question if we reached autocracy. The regime’s actions have proven themselves evident & still escalating. As Trump stated, “on day one” & “never have to vote again”. Dictator for life.
Cook should sue Pulte
Hmmm ... wonder what Pulte's mortgage application(s) looks like.
Fnn aaa 📌
It's not like she stole from a children's cancer charity. Right trump?
Is there no one in this Administration that isn’t abusing power?
Seems actionable to me. Maybe even criminally so.
📌
Everyone complicit in every illegal thing Trump is doing needs to be held accountable
Another one who inherited his money. Of course given that the law does not apply to the wealthy there will be no consequence for his misdeeds. The Golden Age!
If there is evidence, the way it was collected without a warrant will make it inadmissible. With that said, this Administration plays free a loose with the truth, so where is this evidence? President or not, put up or Shut up Orange clown.
who is sending in FOIA requests?
Conservatives and Evangelicals ***HOWLED*** about these prospective abuses of power with Clinton. I distinctly remember radio and pulpits in the 90s sounding full five-alarm fury about Bill Clinton precisely over these kinds of attacks.
www.inman.com/2025/05/28/f...
Where does he get the authority to do that?
📌
Palantir
The American experiment is almost over. The Republicans gave it away to a dictator. They couldn't win over enough Americans with their ideas, so they are taking total control.
They are trying hard to cheat their way to fascist victory, but Americans outnumber Republicans: they may be the minority trying to hold power, but how'd that work out for Assad? We WILL fight, and we WILL win: America's 250 years of democracy is not over yet!
Let's not forget that Cook is the only Black governor on the board. They can't go after white men when there is a Black woman to accuse and fire.
Oh crap, is this the guy who gives away money online?? I know a lot of chronic illness folks who enter those drawings. Uugghh.
👍
Yep🌬️
NY AG Leticia James would like a word.
I doubt any review revealed mortgage fraud with Cook, Schiff, or James. They were thrown into a legal mess to create the air of wrongdoing (and to keep them out of Trump's way) by Pulte and Republican fascists. Those targeted are strong Dems and/or friends of democracy.
bsky.app/profile/imda...
He said on air it was a “tip”. Dems should send a letter demanding information on the process. Additionally, we have yet to see these “public” documents. CNBC has them, can we get an update as to what is holding back publishing? Are they not corroborated? Pulte should be asked hard questions.
“Freddie Mac hotline” “Yes, I want to report someone for claiming the residence they got a mortgage for was their primary residence and it wasn’t” “Oh, dear, ok. Thanks for the info, auditors are on the way. can I know who this is? Hello?”
Or people of color that Trump doesn't like.
exactly what happened
The fact that she’s black and also a woman likely pushed her further up the list.
Find a protest and every day call your reps & GOP leaders. None of this stops until he’s gone. Your reps and GOP leaders can be reached 202-224-3121 Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also, Runforsomething.net
It would be interesting for journalists to pull info on Pulte and the maga crew to see if they are at fault for anything. When you point at someone, there are a bunch of fingers pointing back at them. This has proved to be the deal over and over with those a-holes.
So, they're crossfooting all the data they've collected and are in the process of blackmailing, extorting and arresting everyone they need to eh?
So nothing came out when she was being confirmed? Harris had to break the tie to confirm her, if Republicans had found anything then she would have been dropped from the nomination.
The DOGE rats AI tools could have sifted this easily given access.
This is the real path to follow. Who is doing illegal things for Trump.
Nothing to see here, move along...
Justice will come in the future for Pulte the thug. Getting way in front of his skiis.
Mr. Pulte seems eager to please Pres. Trump and get a reward. Is everyone desperate to jump to the head of the line?
