The witch hunts never end.
The New York Attorney General's office will be joining the Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr's years-long criminal investigation of the Trump Organization.
A spokesperson for Attorney General Letitia James told CNN on Thursday, "We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment."

They know he will single handedly steer the GOP ship to victory in 2022 so the mud throwing and dirty tricks need to start now.
Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. The new USA.
These leftists are pathetic.
Of course he is!
Stalin would be so damn jealous of this Obama/Biden government....
We have become a banana republic.
They pull this crap everywhere. Bibi has been under investigation for a decade.
I said it when this first came to light. The left still sees him as a threat and won’t stop until he’s neutralized, whatever form that happens to take.
Trump, Manafort, Flynn are being punished, while Hillary, Lois Lerner, Comey, Strzok and MacCabe are free!
Land of the laws!
Lady Justice isn't blind, she sees only GOP transgressions.
They prob figure if they can’t win the accusation they can at least tie him up in the courts and waste his time and money. Also, the leftist public believe anything they accuse without waiting to see if it’s true or false. They are complete zombies.
No, Lady Justice IS blind...She’s also gagged, hog tied and placed in isolation...All by the left...
What the Left / Deep State doesn’t seem to yet grasp is that the threat to their continued hold on power isn’t from Trump himself but from the America First movement he ushered in. That’s never going away, no matter what becomes of Trump. And in fact it’ll only get stronger the more he’s indefensibly harassed.
While the 100 Billion bullets in civilian hands sit gathering dust.

Yes, they can go too far. Arresting Trump could very well be the limit to normal America’s patience.
Cyrus Roberts Vance Jr. “was born and raised in New York City. He is the son of Grace Elsie (Sloane) and Cyrus R. Vance, who served as Secretary of the Army under presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, Deputy Secretary of Defense under President Johnson, and Secretary of State to President Jimmy Carter.”
“Vance attended the Buckley and Groton Schools, and then went on to graduate from Yale University. He then earned his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 1982. While in law school, he planned campaign trips for Colorado Senator Gary Hart.”
“Upon graduating from Georgetown, Vance joined the Manhattan District Attorney’s office as an Assistant District Attorney, where he supervised grand jury investigations and prosecuted cases involving murder, organized crime, career criminals, political corruption, international art fraud, and white-collar crime.”

“In 2011, a New York prosecutor from Vance’s office argued on behalf of billionaire and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to New York Supreme Court Judge Ruth Pickholtz, asking for Epstein’s sex offender status to be reduced. The reasoning was that Epstein had not been indicted and his underage victims had failed to cooperate in the case. The judge, however, denied the petition, and expressed bewilderment that a New York prosecutor would make such a request on behalf of a serial sex offender accused of molesting multiple girls: “I have to tell you, I’m a little overwhelmed because I have never seen a prosecutor’s office do anything like this. I have done so many [sex offender registration hearings] much less troubling than this one where the [prosecutor] would never make a downward argument like this,”. Jennifer Gaffney, then deputy chief of Cyrus Vance Jr.’s sex-crimes unit, stated at the hearing that, “There is only an indictment for one victim. If an offender is not indicted for an offense, it is strong evidence that the offense did not occur.” Pickholz rejected Gaffney’s arguments and gave Epstein the highest sex-offender status – Level 3. While Vance denies having been aware of the hearing until years later, some law enforcement sources find it unlikely that he was unaware his office was handling a sex-offender case involving a Manhattan mogul with close ties to Democrats and Republicans. In 2019, Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.”
“In 2009, Abacus Federal Savings Bank, a small Chinese-American family-run bank in New York City’s Chinatown, self-reported a mortgage fraud committed by an ex-employee to its regulators. It led Cyrus Vance’s office to later accuse the bank itself of mortgage fraud. In an unusual move characterized by critics as an effort at grandstanding, Vance’s office orchestrated a parade of ex-employees of the bank in a chain, handcuffed to each other, in front of reporters. After Vance spent five years and $10 million prosecuting the bank for larceny, the bank and its employees were found not guilty on all 80 charges.”
“In October 2014, Vance’s office offered a plea to a driver accused of intentionally striking a cyclist with his car. The deal reduced charges of third-degree assault, punishable by up to a year in jail, to leaving the scene of an accident with property damage. The motorist paid a $250 fine.”
“Vance initially came under criticism by the media for ultimately dismissing charges in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case, after the French head of the International Monetary Fund was arrested, based on accusations by a hotel maid at the Sofitel hotel who said he had forced her to perform oral sex when she came to clean his room. Kahn admitted the encounter had taken place, but maintained the sex was consensual.”
“In March 2018, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the New York State attorney general will investigate the Manhattan district attorney’s handling of a 2015 sexual abuse case involving disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein.NYPD investigators who investigated the 2015 case believed that the sexual abuse case was strong enough to be prosecuted, but Vance opted not to prosecute the case.”
“The case concerned a 22-year old Filipina-Italian model – Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, who went straight to the police after Weinstein lunged at her, groping her breasts and attempting to put a hand up her skirt while she protested. The next day she met with Weinstein, equipped with a NYPD wire tap.”
“Vance, and separately New York Attorney General Letitia James, also investigated the Trump Organization’s Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg and his family. Vance’s inquiry into whether the Weisselbergs had received untaxed benefits from the Trump Organization was widely perceived as part of a strategy to gain more information about Trump. Financial records were obtained from Jennifer Weisselberg in April 2021.”
“New York prosecutors have subpoenaed a Manhattan private school as they seek the cooperation of the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer [Allen Weisselberg] in their investigation of former president Donald Trump and his company”

Taxes would be Allen’s problem, not Trump’s.
A popular saying in my youth was that people that live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Whatever.
So far it’s just noise.
Show up with the evidence and let’s have a jury trial.
