Embattled NY AG Letitia James touts Trump legal battles — while blasting DOJ probe into alleged real estate fraud
NY Post ^ | 5/20/25 | Desheania Andrews, Chris Nesi

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.

Heck. I didn’t know they had poetry on the Statue of Liberty. Graffiti is everywhere these days. The SOL is as obsolete as the UN and all the other crap they came up with during the 20th Century. Pure BS. When the Statue was brought here, “a better life” meant THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUST YOUR ASS IN THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL MINES AND BUILD A BETTER LIFE FOR YEARSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. It’s a piece of crap now and needs to be replaced with a piñata filled with tons of free stuff. You don’t have to do anything. Just show up at the border. Your first freebie is a piggyback ride across the Rio Grande on the back of a Border Patrol officer and diaper change for the kiddies. Then comes the free debit cards, free luxurious hotels, free ATM cell phones, forty-two doller meal tickets for each meal, free abortions, free medical care, free education, BRING THE ENTIRE FAMILY! EVERYTHING IS FREE. Screw the SOL. It’s as obsolete as the Way Far Lefties say that the Alien Enemies Act is. Fire away. This isn’t the 19th and 20th Centry America anymore. It’s the new Disneyland except its all free.

It’s pathetic what passes for lawyers these days. And it’s more pathetic what the voters of New York allowed to pretend to be a sentient being serving as AG. James is - quite simply - an ignorant s**t.

That is exactly what I want from a State’s AG. Someone who barges into National matters by clogging up our Federal Court system with the only result is a news article. If her mission is to keep her name in the news, success. If her mission is to solve legal issues in her State, then failure. Too bad she is not helping her State.

It all depends on where the case is tried.

That would be perfect since James is the original FBI “cross-eyed hurricane”.
