Professor Stanley M. Brand quoted in New York Times article on politicians’ mortgages

CARLISLE, Pa.—Professor Stanley M. Brand was recently quoted in an article that appeared in the New York Times entitled “Deception? Conflicting Paperwork? Clerical Error? How a Politician’s Mortgages Can Get Muddy.”

The article examines the allegations of mortgage fraud lodged against Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook by President Donald Trump. It notes that these allegations can be difficult to prove, with an accompanying look at select Washington officials’ real estate holdings.

“If the government pursued all of these—and I’ll call them application peccadilloes—there wouldn’t be any room in all the prisons for people who do this,” said Brand in the article.
