Lawless Letitia James Hits Back After Deutsche Bank Testimony Blows Hole in New York AG’s Case Against Trump
The Gateway Pundit ^ | November 29, 2023 | Cristina Laila

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office responded to testimony by a Deutsche Bank executive that could have torpedoed her civil fraud case against Trump.

Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.

A Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified on Tuesday that it is “atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.

“A Deutsche Bank AG executive gave testimony that could bolster Donald Trump’s defense in his civil fraud trial, telling a New York judge that prospective clients can get loans even after reporting a net worth far higher than the lender’s own calculations.” Bloomberg reported.

“David Williams, who worked on at least one of three loans Deutsche Bank made to Trump in the years before he was elected president, testified Tuesday that it’s “atypical, but not entirely unusual” for the bank to cut a client’s stated asset value by 50% and approve a loan anyway, as it did with Trump,” Bloomberg reported.

Williams testified that Trump’s stated assets are merely an opinion and a difference of opinion in asset values does not disqualify the potential borrower from a loan.

“It’s just a difference of opinion,” Williams said, according to Bloomberg.

Trump’s defense attorney argued that Deutsche Bank conducted its own due diligence and made their own decision to loan Trump money.

So Trump didn’t even lie, let alone commit fraud and yet Engoron repeats word for word what the prosecutor says about Trump “violating” statute, when the fact is not clear at all!

The woman isn’t a radical Marxist. She’s too stupid to even conceive of that.

She’s an ordinary ridge runnin’ racist, hatin Whitey 24/7.

That’s all this is about, nuthin’ mo.

Arguing with your witness is never a good idea. Echo chamber prosecution staff meets first hand testimony.

Normally, I don’t like revenge, however, if Trump wins in 24 I hope that he releases a category 5 hurricane/sh*t storm on these people.

testified Tuesday that it’s “atypical, but not entirely unusual”

That's a description of something that happens, say, 40% of the time.

This case has been a joke since the very beginning. It does not matter one bit what Deutsche Bank says.

The woke black female jihadi James, and Pedoface Engoron, will make sure Trump is found guilty.

Then it will be up to appeals and other courts to potentially overturn it.

The process IS political and the process IS the punishment

New York AG [Letitia James] Spied on Pro-Life Activists
Used tax dollars on hidden cams, undercover cops to assist abortion clinic
freebeacon ^ | August 31, 2021 | Patrick Hauf
Posted on 8/31/2021, 11:05:05 PM by MarvinStinson

New York attorney general Letitia James’s office deployed hidden cameras and undercover operatives against a pro-life Brooklyn pastor and his flock, but the year-long legal campaign hit a snag Thursday when a federal appeals court unanimously affirmed the protesters’ right to gather.James and her two Democratic predecessors have pursued various harassment charges against Rev. Kenneth Griepp and worshippers of his Brooklyn church since 2017, going so far as to pay for and install hidden security cameras at a local abortion clinic. The impressive array of taxpayer-funded surveillance equipment, however, did not impress jurists at the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The court unanimously affirmed a district court decision to dismiss James’s bid for a preliminary injunction against the protesters because she “failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits as to most claims.”

“It may be particularly appropriate to reconsider whether there were violations,” the appellate court added.

Griepp, senior pastor of Church at the Rock, said the state’s lawsuit made organizing efforts more difficult because churchgoers were afraid legal action could be taken against them. Griepp said he still takes joy in counseling women outside of the abortion clinic because he knows he’s following his calling.

“The political powers have rejected God in this sphere of life,” Griepp told the Washington Free Beacon. “We rejoice in the persecution. Does that make it easier? No. But it does allow us to understand that this is part of following the Lord.”

The New York attorney general’s office, which did not respond to a request for comment, claimed the pro-life activists crowded and threatened women outside of the Choices Women’s Medical Center in Queens. The state complaint details how officials planted hidden cameras outside of the abortion clinic and hired undercover investigators to infiltrate the sidewalk events in an attempt to prove there was harassment. Stephen Crampton, senior counsel for the Thomas More Society, the nonprofit religious liberty firm that represented Griepp, said this is an example of the state targeting its political enemies to the benefit of its political allies.

“It looks to all the world that this is a targeting of pro-life activists who happen to be persistent and effective,” Crampton told the Free Beacon. “So the dirty work here is done by the state and not the clinic itself.”

How is that a lie? He believed his worth was 5 billion. Bank disagreed. They say 3 billion or 2 billion.

Lender requires just $100,000,000, to qualify for the loan.

So, what Trump says he is worth is meaningless. All he needed was at least 100,000,000$ to apply for the loan.

They just want a conviction. That’s all they want. Any way they can get it. He can file an appeal, but the damage is done in their eyes, however in my mind, this might make people esp minorities like him even more.

She can be both. Because a radical Marxist is also obligated to hate Whitey who is the problem and must be eliminated from the face of the earth, in order for earth's inhabitants to live in peace. Of course the radical Marxist is exempt from elimination.

For now at least. 😋

Don't forget the judge, his comment is even more damning then her lackey's comment:

Judge Arthur Engoron sided with the attorney in Letitia James’ office and said, “that the mere fact that lenders were happy doesn’t mean that the statute wasn’t violated.”

For those who did not read the article:

Kevin Wallace, a lawyer from Letitia James’s office hit back at the defense lawyer.

“I think the idea that you can’t lie to a bank is pretty well established,” Wallace said.

Does anyone what the statute says, that the judge referred to?

But in my opinion the statute only comes into play when harm resulted to one or more parties of the loan, and there were no such harmed parties in these loan deals.
