When is deed theft not actually deed theft? It depends says AG Tish James

Riddle of the day: When is deed theft not actually deed theft?

Answer: When state Attorney General Tish James tries to have it both ways.

That’s what happened Friday when the AG was asked about fellow lefty Brooklyn Councilman Chi Ossé’s arrest.

Ossé was cuffed Wednesday as he tried to prevent an eviction he claimed stemmed from “deed theft.”

At the time, James’ office issued a statement denying the case involved any such thing.

It said the matter involved a property dispute between heirs and relatives of the home’s former co-owners.

Yet on Friday, James sang a different tune.

“Technically it wasn’t a deed theft,” but it “emanated from deed theft,” she clarified — for anyone who speaks double-talk.

Ossé claims he suffered a concussion during his arrest, but it was James who sounded more like the one with the concussion.

Why the backtrack? The AG had shown up for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s presser announcing his new office on deed-theft prevention, and she had to race to get with the program.

Suddenly, you see, lefties have a new cause: deed theft (i.e., when someone steals the title to a house through fraud).

Theft is theft.

(Except when democrats do it)

Such is the world we live in.

But God.......

FWIW, God has a lot to say about theft of property in the OT.
