The Washington Post jabbed White House senior adviser Stephen Miller on Monday for calling a reporter “cosmopolitan” while living in a nearly $1 million condo in an upscale Washington, D.C., complex.

The Post ran a story noting that Miller resides in a building that features high-end designers like Hermès and Gucci. He purchased the two-bedroom condo in 2014 for $973,000 and also pays a condo fee of almost $1,800 a month.

“Which would make Miller ... well, pretty cosmopolitan, in a city that is arguably among the most cosmopolitan in the world,” wrote The Post’s Emily Heil.

Miller and the White House did not return a request for comment ...

2. So where did he get the money to buy this Condo?

And pay the mortgage.

He was a congressional aide to Jeff Sessions so he wasn't likely to be making more than $100K/yr. But, if he was able to put enough of a downpayment to get his mortgage down to $700K then his monthly payment is $4500 plus $1800 for condo fees, which is $6300/month or $75,600/yr. After taxes, that would take most if not all of his income.

I note from his bio that his dad is a real estate investor. I'm guessing he got a huge amount of help in buying the place.

4. Receiving loans from people is a great way to launder money and bribes

The Cliff's Notes version of how it works is like this – the briber gives you a loan which by the way, is not reportable income for the bribee . the loan is later quietly forgiven. although the bribee should then report the forgiven loan amount as income, you know that doesn't happen .
