So what exactly, keeps it from being political in any other case either?
And everyone knows the answer is *NOTHING!*.
They’d proved the old adage that if they can do it to him (Trump) they can/will do it to anyone. That’s EXACTLY the point of making an issue with a high profile person like him. The democrats are absolutely sending a message whether they like it or not and whether they think so or not. No matter how much they deny it.
NOBODY is off limits to them.
In Trump’s case the Judge defied all legal precedents
<><>by convicting on a charge of fraud
<><>where there was no criminal or illegal conduct
<><>there was not even the slightest hint of fraud
<><>and no attempts to commit fraud by anyone in the Trump organization.
DA Leticia James turned Consumer Protection laws upside down. The law is intended to protect consumers who have no way to help themselves from predatory lenders, so they turn for help to l/e.
In this case, Trump is the one accused of preying on lenders....very sophisticated lenders who are fully capable of protecting themselves.
Lenders who haven’t asked the attorney general for help.
Syracuse University law professor Gregory Germain said that the “attorney general’s job is to protect people who can’t protect themselves.”
Judges are going to have to look carefully at what the powers of the attorney general are here.
Are they so broad that she can invert the law to keep a campaign promise to “get Trump?”
Is she empowered to look at a financial statement, decide what is a “lie” (that nobody believes), then put someone out of business?
