Letitia James subpoenas banks for Trump Organization records
NY Post ^ | March 12, 2019 | Mark Moore and Bernadette Hogan

Posted on 03/13/2019 12:22:19 AM PDT by EinNYC

State Attorney General Letitia James said she subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank on Monday for records involving President Trump’s failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills and other business dealings involving the Trump Organization.

A day after issuing the subpoenas, James, who took office in January, lobbied legislators in Albany to loosen the double jeopardy “loophole” that prohibits state prosecutors from bringing similar charges against individuals pardoned from federal charges.

Two years of Mueller investigations turned up nothing. NY is facing a financial crisis, and this stupid woman can't think of anything better to do with her time than chase a dream of catching Trump out on something. Millions of dollars have already been utterly wasted on the Mueller spaghetti probe--"Let's throw this stuff against the wall and see if anything sticks"--and she wants to waste more. Anyone have the slightest clue as to why NYS is facing financial straits? Wouldn't have anything to do with Cuomo doling out our taxpayer money to house and feed his pet illegals, would it? Or any of the other lowlife schemes he's involved in? Now we have a state AG, who undoubtedly gets a big paycheck, putting finding dirt on Trump as her top priority. I can hardly wait to get out of this rotten-to-the-core state, run by multiple layers of absolute imbeciles and haters. She is nothing but another affirmative action moron. In a speech the critter made as to why she wanted to run for AG, she sounded just like Maxine Waters, mouthing the same ol', same ol' dummocrap staples, calling Trump an "illegitimate president", yadda yadda. But her beloved Odungo wasn't an illegitimate president, although he likely wasn't born here and had numerous other disqualifying conditions. Nope, not her homie.

She said, “...I’m running for attorney general because I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake.” James says we need to reform our criminal justice system, and that we should not criminalize mental illness or poverty. She also believes Democrats need to stand for freedom and the Constitution, “at a time when Congress, particularly Republicans, do not have a backbone,” against Trump.

“I believe that this president is incompetent. I believe that this president is ill-equipped to serve in the highest office of this land. And I believe that he is an embarrassment to all we stand for,” she said. “He should be charged with obstructing justice. I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses and we would join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across the nation in removing this president from office.”

Notice she offers not a shred of actual EVIDENCE to prove anything that she avers. Just like ol' Maxie and just like Ass On Call.

Hold on to your seats, NYers, you're obviously in for a rough ride. All those criminals doing NY harm, who need to be investigated, will be free to continue their dirty work against us all while the dummy here wastes all her time chasing the elusive rabbit at the track.

The Trump organization would survive leaving NYC. Would NYC survive?

I was just going to ask. Doesn't a prosecutor need some evidence of a crime before they can open any investigation?

Upon what criminal evidence is she basing her investigation into the Trump organization?

There is not the slightest reasonable accusation of any crime. We have reached a point in the country where if they don’t like someone, or disagree with his policies, they can launch an exhaustive investigation into his life.

This is criminal behavior on his part. War does not feel far away.

And apparently mentally retarded as well. You know, if there is one thing in this country that should be investigated, it would be the college records/transcripts of people like her and AOC. Please show me the test scores, show me the essays, reports that qualified them to graduate because I just ain’t buying it.

You are confusing Republicans with Democrats - a common mistake. Democrats are naturally above all laws because laws are made by Republicans. The same hold true with crime:

Since Republicans made the law, they have to honor it and identify the crime before investigating. Democrats need a serious accusation to prove there has been a crime which has to be investigated; they need no evidence for conviction - the accusation is proof of guilt.

Hope that clears up the confusion.

Not following the campaign promise to “lock her up” will have consequences: Democrats feel emboldened to investigate Trump and obstruct his presidency in every imaginable way.

Trump did not clean the house. DoJ, FBI, CIA are still full of enablers who allowed ineligible candidate (Obama) to occupy White House for eight years. It is a big mistake to allow them to continue working for the government.

That stuff only applies to white people. If you're a "person of color," kollege degrees are an entitlement, not something you have to earn.

I think Americans have a right to subpoena all of Letitia’s financial records. We’d like to know what she’s been up to.

It sure looks like Letitia doesn’t miss many meals and has a lot of snack times.

Where ya been? A country whose representative bodies pass legislation without reading it pretty much defines banana republic, and ours did that years ago.

Not for Democrats! Turn the time machine back to 1981 and this Golden Oldie from the DNC:

"The seriousness of the charge mandates that we investigate this." "Even though there is no evidence," he said, "the seriousness of the charge is what matters." - Speaker of the House, Tom Foley -D

President Trump is an “illegitimate” president? Damn, she’s a lot dumber than she looks. What a retard. She needs to be doing her job and investigating Cuomo and De Blasio’s financial records. This is just another commie ‘RAT phishing expedition. The banks need to tell her to FO.

I wonder if they’ll determine that no one has ‘standing’ to ask for these records

She's engaging in pure prosecutorial misconduct, but as mentioned upthread, dems aren't encumbered by the law.
