Embattled NY AG Letitia James touts Trump legal battles — while blasting DOJ probe into alleged real estate fraud

Embattled state Attorney General Letitia James touted her slew of lawsuits targeting the Trump administration to New York bigwigs Tuesday — as she blasted the brewing investigations into her real estate holdings as “nothing more than retribution.”

“As of today, we have filed 21, 22, 23 lawsuits against this administration,” she boasted after delivering the keynote address at the Association for a Better New York’s “Power Breakfast” in Manhattan.

She then rattled off a laundry list of litigation her office has filed, spanning matters including birthright citizenship, funding of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the termination of COVID grants and cuts to AmeriCorps.

She also blasted the administration’s hardline stance on illegal immigration, calling it “a blemish of moral fiber on our nation,” which “runs counter to the poetry on the Statue of Liberty, which welcomes immigrants to our shores seeking a better life.”

Approached by The Post regarding a growing number of probes she’s facing over alleged instances of mortgage fraud — including a criminal investigation launched by the FBI and US Attorney’s Office in Albany earlier this month — James dismissed the allegations.

“I don’t know, they keep saying they’re investigating me — as you know we filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and his family. We secured a $454 million judgment against it, which is on appeal. I have no idea when that case will be decided. This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution. It’s baseless,” she said.

The investigation into her real estate holdings, first reported by the Albany Times Union, began when Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department last month.

An AG who doesn't know the difference between legal and illegal.

Senate GOPers push back on $10M taxpayer-funded Tish James ‘slush fund’ that could pay her legal bills

Doubling down. That’s all she has left

[cp124]

Looks like she has double downed a lot of things.

[equaviator]

Her failures are Trump’s retribution.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This ho needs to be locked up in a cage. Either in jail or a zoo. She’s an America-hating biatch on a power trip. She needs to be knocked down a couple notches and sent to Africa where she doesn’t have to worry about whitey discriminating against her.

She also blasted the administration’s hardline stance on illegal immigration, calling it “a blemish of moral fiber on our nation,” which “runs counter to the poetry on the Statue of Liberty, which welcomes immigrants to our shores seeking a better life.”

So the left does indeed recognize the difference between illegal and legal immigration. Democratics, please stop gaslighting the American people by conflating the two.

We love legal immigrants. We should be catapulting illegal immigrants and their Marxists mouthpieces directly over the Rio Grande.

James and New York City deserve one another.

She also blasted the administration’s hardline stance on illegal immigration, calling it “a blemish of moral fiber on our nation,” which “runs counter to the poetry on the Statue of Liberty, which welcomes immigrants to our shores seeking a better life.”

First off, the poetry on the Statue of Liberty means NOTHING. It has no weight in law. Secondly, the Statue of Liberty as used in this bloviating means NOTHING. Immigrants are not illegal aliens. Illegal aliens are not immigrants.

So if a false accuser is served justice, it’s retribution - LOL!

[FlingWingFlyer]

She needs to hook up with Lonesome Chrissy Van Hollen. They both need somebody to hug. I don’t think the MS-13 Maryland Father of the Year will ever make it back to America. He’s a dangerous criminal.

[FLT-bird]

Her fat ass is caught in the shredder and she knows it. She told blatant and repeated outright lies right there on the mortgage documents for all to see. When it was Trump she had to invent new and novel legal theories about how the banks couldn’t possibly have done their own property evaluations (LOL) prior to making loans to Trump.....loans that were fully paid off.

BTTT

[V_TWIN]

Hopefully soon her headlines will read “as she stated through jail cell bars”.

[PGalt]

GREAT comments BUMP!

[kiryandil]

Squeal like a ghettopotamus.

[metmom]

Typical leftist hypocrisy.

[Jumper]

Tisk Tisk Tish. La Tish a is one big target. She is just the tip of the Lawyer Faternity of Real Estate Loan Rip Offs. As the FBI begins to take a peek behind the financial dealings of just a handful of the Political Powerful, they are finding that Trump alone did not engage in Ms. James’ signature fraud. Hundreds of people we have watched get rich are going to lose fortunes and power.

[MrRelevant]

Talk about being tone deaf. How many resources are absorbed by illegal aliens in New York alone that could be earmarked for homeless folks or low income citizens. Legal minorities and migrants are happy to see ICE bounce these criminals but the leaders seem intent on ignoring this obvious fact.

All the blue states care about is the census body count. More people means more money from the feds, etc..
