Democrat Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is haunted by a fake-residence scandal as the petition to impeach her closes in on 300,000 signatures.

Congressman Jon Bumstead of Michigan confirmed to Big League Politics through an intermediary that state representatives in Michigan are legally required to live in their districts. But Tlaib lived in suburban Dearborn while she was falsely representing a district in Detroit. Tlaib lied about her address on her voter registration — a crime — and kicked off her entire political career with the lie.

The Change.org petition, started by MRS. AMERICAN CITIZEN, focuses on the fake-residency claim against Tlaib, and has 282,518 signatures as of this writing. Tlaib infamously vowed to “impeach the mother—” President Trump.

Big League Politics exclusively reported:

Michigan Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib registered to vote from a false address, and represented a state House district that she did not actually live in, according to credit score and property records obtained by Big League Politics.

Tlaib’s own father even said that Tlaib “lied” about her address in order to run for office.

Here is what the evidence, presented below, proves:

  1. Rashida Tlaib registered to vote at a false address as she embarked on her first political campaign. “Registering to vote using a false address” is one of a number of crimes that fall into the voter fraud category.
  2. Tlaib ran for and represented the 12th district in the Michigan House of Representatives even though she was not a resident of that district.
  3. Records show that Tlaib was an “Absentee Owner” at the Detroit house she claimed to live in.
  4. Tlaib moved to her official Detroit apartment address, which she reported to the FEC after the election, at the start of her 2018 campaign. Her new address was recorded for the first time one day before she announced her campaign for Congress.

State senator Jon Bumstead of Michigan told Big League Politics through an intermediary that Michigan state representatives are required by law to live in the district they represent.

Michigan Election Law requires candidates to submit an Affidavit of Identity, where they must provide truthful residence information.

Tlaib’s father made a series of comments to Charlie LeDuff of The Detroit Newson March 13, 2010, in an article that no longer has an active ink but exists in the The Detroit News archives:

“Now Tlaib’s father is piping in. He said his daughter misrepresented her residency when she signed an election affidavit in 2008 with the Wayne County Clerk claiming she was a citizen of Detroit.

According to that affidavit, Tlaib claimed she lived at (redacted) in Detroit. That house is owned in part by her father, Harbi Elabed, and he now says she did not live there and he was only recently made aware that she had claimed so. “She lied,” said Elabed, 61, an immigrant from Jerusalem and father of 14 who prides himself on Old World values of parental fealty. “She lied big-time to get elected. I never teach her that way. I teach her the right way. It’s my house. She didn’t live there. She lived in Dearborn in her house with her husband and boy.”

Dearborn is not a part of the 12th House District that Tlaib was elected to represent…

Asked why he was tattling on his daughter, Harbi Elabed said it was a growing litany of transgressions that his daughter committed upon him — culminating in a dispute about care of his aged mother, who suffers from dementia. According to Harbi, his daughter sided against him and in favor of his nephew in a battle of custody, a complete breach of family values, he said.”

Detroit News passage from 2010 ends

Wow!

Now let’s take a look at each of Rashida Tlaib’s real or stated residences over the years (all addresses are redacted from this report).

Rashida Tlaib Moved Into Detroit Apartment To Announce Her Congressional Campaign As A ‘Longtime Resident of Detroit”

Rashida Tlaib’s swanky downtown Detroit apartment was first reported on February 5, 2018, one day before she announced her candidacy for Congress, according to Verizon Wireless records.

Tlaib announced her campaign on Tuesday February 6, 2018. Her announcement was carried by the Arab Daily News. In that article, Rashida’s bio hilariously switches from writing about Tlaib in the third person to declaring “I” at the beginning of the final sentence, revealing that Rashida Tlaib was writing the bio herself. The article identifies Tlaib as “a longtime resident of Detroit.”

The Arab News reported: “Former Michigan Legislator Rashida Tlaib announced this week that she is running for Congress in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District. Michigan’s Democratic Primary election is on August 7, 2018. Rashida Tlaib is a longtime resident of Detroit and the child of Palestinian immigrants. Rashida is a former Michigan State Representative where she served three terms and was appointed as the democratic vice chairwoman of the Appropriation Committee. Rashida made history by becoming the first female Muslim elected to the Michigan Legislature, and only second in the country…

“Rashida has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Role Model Award from Alternatives for Girls, After School Champion national award, CAIR Michigan’s Empowering Muslims Award, Clean Water Action’s Clean Water Hero award, recognized as one of Crain’s Detroit Business Women to Watch and featured in PBS’ Makers Documentary on Women in Politics. I am included in Family Circle magazine’s 20 Most Influential Moms of 2016, and was included in New York Magazine’s list of Democratic leaders as the “next Obama.”

She bought a house in Detroit in 2016 for less than six figures

Rashida Tlaib bought a house in Detroit on May 10, 2016 for $90,600.

This address begins appearing in records in October 2016. The address was deemed to have a “Determined Absentee Owner” during this time period.

She Actually Lived In A House In Suburban Dearborn from 2004 to 2016

Fayez Tlaib and Rashida Tlaib, husband and wife, bought the house on February 26, 2004.

In 2004, Rashida interned for state rep. Steve Tobocman, and joined his staff in 2007.

Rashida Tlaib was elected in the 12th district — southwest Detroit — in 2008, replacing Tobocman.

She got 14,176 votes (more than 90 percent) of the vote in the district.

But Rashida Tlaib, resident of the nearby suburbs of Detroit, actually lived in the 15th district (“Dearborn, excluding northeast tip”) where Gino Polidori got more than 77 percent of the vote, winning his third term.

Tlaib fraudulently won the primary in the district in August 2008.

In 2013 she tried to run for state senate in district that includes part of Dearborn, where she actually lived, but she lost the race and her state legislative career ended.

Rashida and Fayez sold the house as a couple to Fayez, now unmarried, on December 20, 2016.

They as a couple sold the house to him on December 20, 2016, he was listed as an unmarried man

“Owner Occupied” was the official credit rating on that address in Dearborn.

She Fraudulently Claimed Her Father’s House As Her Own Residence To Register To Vote And Get Her Driver’s License in Detroit Instead of Dearborn, where she lived

An official in the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s “Office of Metropolitian Impact” purchased this house, built in 1923, from Rashida Tlaib on July 7, 2017 for $59,000.

This is the address that Rashida Tlaib used when she registered to vote on March 5, 2008.

She used that address on July 24, 2013 for an official issuance.

Kaminske Living Trust sold it to her and Fayez on April 27, 2009 in separate purchases of $31,000 each.

On May 2, 2016, Rashida Tlaib sold it to Fayez Tlaib for an undetermined amount.

Guess what a 2016 report labelled this property at the time Rashida sold it: “Determined Absentee Owner.”

Meaning, Rashida Tlaib was not living there.
