WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bar complaint with the Committee on Professional Standards against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The complaint requests an investigation into allegations outlined in a recent criminal referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), claiming that AG James committed mortgage fraud.

On April 14, 2025, FHFA Director William J. Pulte sent a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that AG James has, in multiple instances, “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance” as well as “loans and more favorable loan terms.”

I like this part:

The New York bar has an independent duty to conduct its own investigation into the allegations raised in Mr. Pulte’s letter to the Department of Justice. While “beyond a reasonable doubt” is the well-known standard for a criminal prosecution, the Rules of Professional Conduct are not so strict and only require a “fair preponderance of the evidence.” Matter of Scudieri, 101 N.Y.S.3d 333, 337 (App. Div. 2019)

Cont...:

If Ms. James has engaged in fraud by deceiving her lenders and the government to obtain financial benefits she would otherwise not be entitled to, then she has engaged in professional misconduct and violated her obligations as a lawyer and is subject to discipline by the New York Bar. See N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 22, § 1240.2(a).

Happy DAnce...:

Conclusion: Significantly, as the chief legal officer for the State of New York, Ms. James ought to aspire to the highest ethical standards. Instead, it appears she has repeatedly traded in her integrity for a monetary benefit through deceiving lenders and the public in pursuit of personal enrichment. Such actions harm the rule of law and bring disrepute to the profession. Ms. James’ conduct, if it is as alleged, shows that she has failed to uphold the letter and spirit of the Rules of Professional Conduct. The New York Bar Committee on Professional Standards for the Albany region should immediately launch an investigation into Ms. James’ actions, and if it determines the allegations are true, impose appropriate discipline. As Ms. James herself previously explained, “no matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.”13

Past time to put Letty James on trial. She talked the talk while prosecuting wholeheartedly our President but she can’t walk the walk. Time for her, like Fani Willis, to do down hard.

Turnabout is fair play.

This is how we do it—lawfare till it hurts against state AGs, judges, etc. Bar complaints, judicial ethics complaints, hell— Better Business Bureau complaints! I don’t care. LET IT RAIN on these bastards!

Yeah, the same bar that admitted her.

The bar is the problem and needs to be dissolved.

Can’t say I’m sorry to see this happen, assuming she is guilty. Why do people make charges against others when they must know that they have things in their history that they don’t want discovered? They should be sure their own record is squeaky clean before doing this.

AFL turns her flank where there is absolutely no defense
