The federal mortgage fraud investigation against Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, one of President Donald Trumps chief political foes, has stalled, according to four people familiar with the investigation. After months of investigating, the federal prosecutors in Maryland leading the probe have not produced enough evidence to bring charges, these people said. One of the sources, a federal law enforcement official, said the investigation came to a standstill.
Kelly Hayes, the U.S. attorney overseeing the investigation, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this week and asked him how to proceed, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting.
The decision out of that meeting was for Hayes to pursue more evidence, and the case remains ongoing, those people said. No final decision has been made, one of the sources said.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the ongoing investigation.

Make a big show harass people who have been against Trump and then it will slide into nothingness.
Of course it will cost the people wrongly charged tens of thousands of dollars.

(16,330 posts)the US Attorney Kelly O. Hayes is telling the DoJ that there's not enough evidence to charge him with a crime.
Expect another US Attorney to walk the plank.
