Ghetto-nurtured Letitia James’s had a dream.......to “get Trump.”
She articulated her vendetta against Trump December 13, 2018, shortly after her first election and before she took office. James emphasized that her focus would be to use her tax-financed office on
<><>somehow getting Trump,
<><>conceding she had no basis to believe that wrongdoing had occurred.
James, a Democrat, told NBC News after she was elected DA:
<><>she would use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions
<><>and his family as well.
<><>she outlined some of the probes she intended to pursue
<><>involving “potential illegalities” of Trump’s real estate holdings in New York.
When the investigation began, the ghetto-nurtured “James had just a dream.” but no inkling of what, if any, wrongs might have been committed “involving Trump’s real estate holdings.” Significantly, no complaining party was asking her office for redress.
In this case, “Trump is the one accused of preying on lenders” for better terms....very sophisticated lenders who are fully capable of protecting themselves.
Lenders who haven’t asked the attorney general for help.
Syracuse University law professor Gregory Germain said that the “attorney general’s job is to protect people who can’t protect themselves.”
Judges are going to have to look carefully at what the powers of the attorney general are here.
Are they so broad that she can invert the law to keep a campaign promise to “get Trump?”
Is she empowered to look at a financial statement, decide what is a “lie” (that nobody believes), then put someone out of business?
As the Soviet era prosecutor said in the 1930’s, “Show me the man and I will show you his crimes!”
