Judges are going to have to look carefully at what the powers of the NY 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?
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 for
<><>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 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.
To “get Trump,” DA James turned Consumer Protection laws upside down. The law is intended to protect consumers w/ no way to help themselves from predatory lenders, so they turn for help to l/e.
In this topsy turvy case, Trump is accused of “preying on lenders”....very sophisticated lenders who are fully capable of protecting themselves.
Lenders who had no gripes, no losses, who hadn’t asked the attorney general for help.
Yep. He ran on a “get Trump” platform looking to get him and created her own rules and laws to do so.

Which judges are you referring to? This outrageous $355 Million fine was made by a judge.
And who gets to keep the money, since the banks were not harmed?
