She gives off a Queen Latifah vibe. Only not as nice.

If it came to that, James can't seize any properties because the law requires judgements to be use for restitution for damages. The law specifically excludes the government from using the money for appropriations, so what is she going to do with the proceeds from selling any properties when there are no victims to be given restitution?

Can’t say I’d articulate it as a “rule,” but as I look back over my 55-year voting record*, it adheres perfectly to your standards, except for one local city council vote that turned out to be a horrible mistake.

* I’m 76. You had to be 21 back then…

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Letitia James, threaderapp.com, good graphcs at web site

snip

The first thing you’ll notice is how pols use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree middle America could never dream of.

In 2023 alone, Letitia James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico.

Then there’s the airfare. In the 5 years she’s been the New York State AG, James’ has spent over $84,000 on airfare to fly herself all over the country.

This includes private jet rentals. She’s billed her campaign over $20,000/year for meals. And no, these aren’t large catering events. These are receipts for everything from $18 at Dunkin Donuts to $60 at Dave & Busters to $165 at an oyster bar in Massachusetts and then $700 at a steakhouse in Brooklyn.

Then there’s thousands spent on Ubers and Lyfts. Tens of thousands spent on “office” at everywhere from Target to BJ’s wholesale. Over $7,000 dropped at a nightclub in NYC and billed as “office.”

I could go on… the multiple stays at the Beverly Hills Wilshire, the $65,000 in “reimbursements” to “campaign consultants” which could literally be anything.

Speaking of campaign consultants, can anyone tell me why state Attorney General Letitia James would need to spend over $300,000 in a single year on campaign consultants when they *just* won re-election the previous November?

What could she possibly be consulting on? Furthermore, why do these million dollar “campaign consultancy firms” always seem to be ran out of random 2 bedroom apartments? I’m not accusing Ms. James of breaking the law w her expenditures.

But considering the high bar she set for Trump in his civil fraud case, I find it more than a little galling that she plays so fast and loose w what she deems to be “legitimate campaign expenses.”

$4,335 at “Nathan’s Luxlifestyle” on Martha’s Vineyard last August? Mmm hmm. $5,122 dropped at the “48 Lounge” in NYC last September under expense code “office.” Righhhtttt….


So you might be wondering, where does all this money Letitis’s spending come from? Well here’s where things get interesting.

Because it appears our holier than thou Attorney General, Ms. James, has gotten herself wrapped up in the ghost donor scam.
Now I knew the ghost donor bots weren’t just operating at the federal level but I had no clue how big it was at the state level.

Here’s a list of Ms. James’ total donations and their corresponding receipts by year… anything jump out at you?

Obviously 2022 is off the charts. Over 32,500 receipts and over 62% are from out of state. Who the heck donates to an Attorney General, running in a totally safe seat, in a whole other state?!

Answer: Ghost donors. Take for instance this woman named Suzanne, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Ms. Suzanne has to be one of the most faithful Democrat donors on the planet. Not only did she make 3,232 individual donations to ActBlue in just one year (2022) totaling more than $46,193

But she also found the time and money to also make 25 separate donations (for $266) to Letitia James’ campaign and another 9 (for $305) to Kathy Hochul!

And she didn’t stop there! I found Suzanne’s name on the donor rolls in Nevada, Idaho and Virginia!

Or how about this lovely old lady Barbara from Silver Springs, Maryland. Ms. Barbara, a retired 71 year old widow living in a modest townhouse, not only made 1547 donations to ActBlue at the federal level totaling more than $37,000

She also gave Letitia James $610 total in 34 separate transactions and then she sprinkled some money in Nevada, Massachusetts and Wisconsin!

I could go on but you get the point. Almost every name I grabbed from James’ 2022 donor list had AT LEAST 200+ donations at the fed level for 2022 and tons of them had over 2,000.
