NEW: Adam Schiff And Letitia James Are ‘Doomed’ Legally, Anti-Trump Analyst Admits

There isn’t much of a prayer left for Democrats in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Justice Department, an infamous liberal MSNBC contributor conceded on Sunday.

The DOJ’s public corruption unit has its sights set on New York Attorney General Letitia James and U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), both of whom became ensnared by allegations of mortgage fraud earlier this year. James and Schiff have denied wrongdoing, but that hasn’t stopped U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi from convening a grand jury and special prosecutor as she explores bringing charges.

Michael Cohen, the disgraced ex-felon and former attorney to President Trump, let MSNBC viewers know that the investigations will be problematic for both politicians, to say the least.

“Mark my words: Politically, they’re both doomed,” he said on “The Weekend.”

“I’m telling you right off the bat, this is a political suicide for both Tish James and Adam Schiff.”

The show hosts asked Cohen how James and Schiff could be “politically doomed” given that they both hail from blue states.

“I know so many people are going to say, ‘Oh my God, Michael Cohen is like, bending the knee to Trump.’ No,” Cohen said. “What I’m doing is I’m actually telling you the reality. … Mark my words, [attorney] Ed Martin, the Department of Justice, [Attorney General] Pam Bondi, they will figure out exactly how to go after Adam Schiff, how to go after Tish James for these mortgage violations.”

“Alleged mortgage violations,” an MSNBC anchor interjected.

Cohen, who served 36 months for various tax evasion and campaign finance schemes, harkened back to his own experience of checking the wrong boxes on government documents.

“If there is a signing of a box which is wrong — and trust me, I know,” he explained, the Western Journal reports. “One of my charges was on my HELOC [home equity line of credit]. I had low mortgage onto it. I had 80 percent equity. They held me accountable for a HELOC violation. Theirs is much worse.”

WATCH:

Cohen was convicted in 2018 after federal prosecutors charged him with underestimating the value of various taxi medallions and Home Equity Line of Credits he owned, in addition to campaign finance work performed on behalf of President Trump.

The former Trump fixer later turned on his boss, cashing in with a tell-all memoir and predicting that Trump would never return to the White House. He has since launched his own podcast offering hot takes of the day while begging viewers to “tip” him with monetary gifts.

Schiff and James are both accused of misrepresenting their primary residence in order to obtain more favorable federal mortgage loans.
