State Attorney General Letitia James said she subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank on Monday for records involving President Trumps 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.

She said, ...Im 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.
james appears well fed.
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?
This is like old times!. Remember all those state AGs going after Obama’s birth certificate? Just like old times......
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.
we are now banana republic, thanks democrats. there is only one way to fix this and it will not be pretty.
War?! LMAO! :snort:
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.
Doesn’t a prosecutor need some evidence of a crime before they can open any investigation?
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.
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.
we are now banana republic
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.
How very banana Republic of New York
I wonder if they’ll determine that no one has ‘standing’ to ask for these records
