Breaking! Obama-Appointed Judge Throws Out Trump’s Lawsuit to Block New York AG Letitia James’ Witch Hunt Investigation
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 27, 2022 | Cristina Laila

A federal judge on Friday tossed Trump’s lawsuit seeking to block New York Attorney General Letitia James’ witch hunt investigation into the former president’s business practices.

U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes for upstate New York, an Obama appointee, issued the ruling just one day after a state appeals court ruled Trump must testify under oath.

“While the New York proceeding has been ongoing since August 2020, Plaintiffs have submitted no evidence that the subpoena enforcement proceeding has been conducted in such a way as to constitute harassment,” Sannes wrote in a 43-page decision.

Trump’s lawyers said they will immediately appeal the decision.

I live in New York unfortunately and New York is corrupt as hell now, all the Republicans running for office there are just wasting their time, I don’t know why they are doing it when they know they have no chance. The elections are constantly fixed, the justice system is a joke, the politicians are nothing but punk ass street criminals.

I really do not know what to tell Trump, like the Jan.6th “commission” it’s Kabuki theater in a banana republic. Whatever they invent they will portray as the truth and they will charge and convict him probably with tax invasion which is going to be an utter joke.

Yes, the billionaire for decades somehow miraculously was able to evade the IRS by not paying his taxes even though he is constantly audited, but superhero sleuth Letitia James exposed him!! Wow! Oh yes, totally believable!!

Every last politician and AG in New York like California needs to be fumigated from the state like the cockroaches they are and flushed down the toilet.

He should appeal this as far as it takes to appeal. He is being politically targeted, without any question, and that is not supposed to be tolerated in our Republic.

When you add up all the destruction Obama has done to this nation it is astounding.

These Fn liberal judge are going to be the cause of violence when people realize that there is no justice for them in their court unless they are Democrats or liberals.

These robed frauds will be reversed upon appeal because they are activists posing as jurists, and their rulings are based upon politics alone.

And when they are reversed they will not be embarrassed.

I think I understand the judicial branch least of the three.

It seems like any podunk judge from anywhere can rule anything - and then it gets appealed. Are these rulings just PR stunts to give the fake news headlines?

When my son lived in Brooklyn, NY he went to vote in a primary election and he was handed a Democrat ballot. When he asked for a Republican one the election worker was shocked. She said she never gets anyone requesting a Republican ballot.

Trump appealed a state appeals court case to a federal court while his case was being tried in a state court. If one truly believes in separation of powers and states rights, the decision by the federal judge was correct. Federal courts shouldn’t be interfering with proceedings in state and local courts. The appropriate appeal is to the state appeals court ruling is to the state supreme court, not the federal courts.

I read the ruling. The federal judge based her ruling on the precedent of the “Younger” case abstention doctrine. Essentially this precedent provides that “federal courts should generally refrain from enjoining or otherwise interfering in ongoing state proceedings.” Trump’s case was filed in New York state courts, not federal courts. Essentially the judge is say the case should be adjudicated through the New York state courts before the defendant files an appeal of process to the federal courts. If we believe the Constitution gives the states powers independent of the federal government, this understanding of the law is correct, regardless of if it is “fair”.

It may be the prosecutor is after using her discretionary prosecutorial power against Trump unfairly. It may be the state court judges are also biased. However, until the case has made its way through the New York courts, the federal judge is essentially saying the legal precedent in cases such as require the federal courts to stand back and allow the state process to reach an outcome before intervening.

Once there is a state court ruling, and it has been appealed through the state appeals court and to the New York Supreme court, Trump can appeal to the federal courts if he has grounds to do so. The federal judge who rejected Trump’s appeal did not preclude him from appealing to the federal courts in the future. All the federal judge did was rule Trump needed to go through the state legal process first because that is where the case was filed and is being heard.

One of the biggest problems we have in this nation today is overreach by the federal courts. It is actually refreshing to see a federal judge deferring to state and local officials while a case is being heard instead of jumping in and overriding the process. I say that as someone who believes in the original intent of the Constitution.

Let the process go forward. If the prosecutor is showing overt bias toward Trump, and has no evidence of criminal activity, the jury should rule Trump not guilty. If Trump is unjustly found guilty, he can appeal all the way through State Supreme Court and then to federal courts. At this point there has been no trial and jury ruling so there is nothing for the federal courts to decide.

As for the fundamental issue of unfairness and bias toward Trump, good parents tell their children early - “life isn’t fair”. Our system gives prosecutors wide latitude in deciding which cases to investigate and litigate. The check and balance on prosecutorial misconduct is the public at the ballot box, the jury system, judges who administer trials, the state bar association ethics board, legislative bodies (impeachment and laws governing judicial conduct) and the appeals process through state and then federal courts.

Even with all of the checks and balances on prosecutors a “fair” outcome is never guaranteed. Mistakes are made, there is no perfect system. If Trump is an innocent man, but is found guilty and punished, he won’t be the first person in history who experiences injustice in the courtroom. At this point, since we haven’t seen the evidence the prosecutor plans to present in trial, we have no basis for concluding if Trump is be persecuted by the system, or is actual guilty of a crime and trying to avoid punishment. Stay tuned.

Dear GrandJediMasterYoda,

Oh, bless your little ol’ heart. We don’t want them anywhere, but where they are now.
