FBI opens formal criminal probe into New York AG Letitia James over alleged mortgage fraud
NY Post ^ | 5/8/25 | Chris Nesi

Posted on 05/08/2025 8:53:47 AM PDT by CaptainK

The FBI and US Attorney’s Office in Albany have launched a criminal investigation into mortgage fraud claims against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a source familiar with the probe told The Post.

The investigation, first reported by the Times Union, follows a federal criminal referral sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte to the Justice Department earlier this month.

Pulte’s letter alleges James “falsified records” to obtain favorable loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and a Brooklyn brownstone she’s owned since 2001.

Good. Now go after Thom Tillis, who if the reports are correct, makes Letitia James seem like a shoplifter in comparison.

If they can nail Letitia James on this, Senator Thom Tillis can’t be far behind.

There are no poor people in government after reaching a certain level.

Letitia probably went after Trump for mortgage fraud figuring she had gotten away with so much fraud herself, Trump must be guilty of the same. Classic projection.

Popcorn futures just skyrocketed.

Between this and the latest news on Fani Willis, the future of the “strong independent black woman” bloc of the “get Trump” cabal is looking pretty bleak.

Throw her cock-eyed, “Wide Load” butt in jail where she belongs. She’s a thieving crook.

The Dems in NY just stole $10 million from taxpayers to pay for her defense.

Just make sure that her bond is more than 10 million. That way all of that NYS money will be tied up. Well at least make sure that it is as much as she imposed on Trump.

Anyone who thinks this privileged ghettopatumous will spend one nanosecond in jail is delusional.

Take it to the limit.
Allow the investigation to drag on and on
Sometimes it is the process that matters, with the final outcome being a secondary factor.
Let her feel the long term burn, just as many conservatives did when they were clobbered with the speed bumps of Lawfare.

I thought she had already been referred to the Justice Department for indictment.

Clearly this a racially motivated attack on a strong black woman by an authoritarian oligarch.

Good deal. Mortgage fraud is $5,000 and 5 years in the slam.
