Bill Barr: NY State AG Trump Lawsuit ‘Political Hit Job’ — Dragging Children in ‘Gross Overreach’

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on FNC’s “America Reports” that New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and his adult children was a “political hit job.”

Barr said, “It’s hard for me not to conclude it’s a political hit job. This is a woman who campaigned for office promising she was going to go after Trump, which I think is a tremendous abuse of office to go headhunting and targeting individuals. So I think she was targeting Trump.”

I think that was Bart’s Dad. Probably just a coincidence.

This one was too obvious to get wrong, even for Barr

I have only skimmed this dog's breakfast of a complaint, but what popped out at me for the parts I looked are were the lack of damages allegations, much less ones against NY, the plaintiff. You cannot sue if you did not suffer a loss.

I have been saying this for years since the allegations of "fraud" against Trump were first raised.

There is likely to be a motion to dismiss the case, filed by Trump's attorneys. There will be plenty of statements in it along these lines:

"The Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action." -- i.e., the Plaintiff has not demonstrated that anyone has suffered any tangible harm as a result of the alleged "fraud."

"The Plaintiff lacks standing because it has no legal claim for relief." -- i.e., the Trump Organization has no duty of care to the State of New York in most (if not all) of the matters described in the complaint.

"The Plaintiff is barred from filing this Complaint under the doctrine of avoidable consequences." -- i.e., the parties that allegedly suffered harm as a result of the "fraud" failed to do their own due diligence in the matters related to the Complaint.

"The Plaintiff has failed to join a necessary party to the complaint." -- i.e., the parties that allegedly suffered harm as a result of the "fraud" are actually complicit in the alleged wrongdoing laid out in the Complaint.

Well said.

Even Barr can’t deny this is 100% political and an abuse of power. he wants to maintain some semblance of credibility for his other Trump attacks.

Political Lawfare, New York AG Files Another Frivolous Lawsuit Against Donald Trump and Trump Organization

September 21, 2022 | sundance | 201 Comments

The first New York State AG approach was to claim Donald Trump and the Trump organization undervalued their company assets, specifically real-estate assets, in order to avoid income and property tax liabilities.  That didn’t work.  Apparently, they discovered the complex valuation system of finance in real-estate that ebbs and flows as property evaluations rise and fall under market conditions.

Next up, the same New York AG moved to target Donald Trump and the Trump organization for overvaluing their company assets, specifically real-estate assets, in order to gain favorable financial and banking terms.  Thus, the claims today from New York’s political activist Attorney General Letitia James, which will, like all efforts before, eventually fail.

The leftist goal is to continue targeting President Donald Trump through lawfare in order to bleed him out and/or make him go away.  Which really raises an interesting aspect as to the unique nature of Donald J Trump.

What is it about this one man’s outlook that causes such levels of fear and targeting?

The big picture answer is found in the primary Donald Trump objective, “America-First!”

….There are trillions at stake.

The above meme is very accurate, albeit not specific.   What the Big Club wants is control over everything related to money; as a result, that brings control over all human activity, at least that’s what they believe.

President Trump stands in the way of this larger ideological construct that forms the cornerstone of the Big Club and all the tentacles of politics.  Everything is always about the economics of the thing, even ideology.

Donald J Trump puts the manipulated global financial system, a system based on exploitation of sovereign wealth, at risk.   Donald J Trump opposes the biggest of the big force elements that are aligned against people.  No other person has ever, or would ever, attempt to confront that scale of enemy.

Do you recognize what scale of effort they are willing to exhaust in order to remove the threat Trump represents?

Can you fathom what Machiavellian deployment they would be willing to organize in order to retain the system of controlling western wealth?

Do you realize what personal characteristics a ‘John Galt‘ must possess in order to face that enemy?

Great MAGA King type characteristics.

“NY State AG Trump Lawsuit ‘Political Hit Job’ — Dragging Children in ‘Gross Overreach’”

That’s New York style for you.

[Ancesthntr]

If even this guy, who clearly does not like Trump, can point this out then we have a clear abuse of prosecutorial discretion. I think that one of the things that Trump’s people should do is to have everyone involved referred to the New York State Bar Association for disbarment hearings. Let them have to deal with that issue, the same way that they’re putting Trump on the spot and forcing him to spend enormous amounts of money and time to defend against this frivolous bullshit.

Thanks for the diversity hawks’ contribution to no law at all.

She is not qualified to flip burgers.

Dear Lord PLEASE let this DA be thrown out of office, PLEASE put SOME SANITY back in our nation!! Although it seems we have strayed from our Christian values it was NOT OUR CHOICE to shut down our churches and prayer MANY who stood up to this tyranny are suffering severely, Trump does NOT deserve this lord!!! WE ALL KNOW you have placed him in the breech, we ALL KNOW you NEVER give us more than we can handle, HOWEVER this man and his family have endured MORE than is necessary for us to see the light!!

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

STFU BILL BARR where the HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!! You could SEE this coming but you are out there whoring you book!! SCREW YOU we don’t need your opinion NOW!!

[Falconspeed]

Bill Barr said... Sad how Barr has no moral authority and everything he says fails to make a point.

[willk]

Of course if he was on CNN he would say the opposite.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

This whole thing she is suing Trump over is utterly absurd. Overstating the value of his assets to trick banks and the IRS? What kind of idiot charge is that as if banks and the IRS do not have appraisers, auditors, assessors?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yep, this is all about slander, putting ‘criminal’ in the minds of the low infos. The Marxists know they don’t have anything on Trump, but they know they can ruin his rep by constantly harassing him. He needs to sue and sue and sue.
