⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Letitia James

When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump.

James was elected as the NY AG in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Prior to that James was the NYC “public advocate” for 4 years and a NYC city council member for 8 years prior to that. Prior to elected office she was a public defender for Legal Aid.

IOW Letitia James is a lifelong public servant and other than a mishap in the 2010s where she neglected to list the Brooklyn brownstone she owns & rents out on her financial disclosure forms, she hasn’t had any public scandals. With that being said, I’m not quite sure what I was expecting to find but I do know I wasn’t expecting what I found.

The first thing you’ll notice when you download and sort the expenditures of any politician running for reelection in a safe seat is how they use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree middle America could never dream of.

What do I mean? Well, in 2023 alone, James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico.

Because it appears our holier than thou Attorney General, Ms. James, has gotten herself wrapped up in the ghost donor scam.

Now I knew the ghost donor bots weren’t just operating at the federal level but I had no clue how big it was at the state level.

Here’s a list of Ms. James’ total donations and their corresponding receipts by year… anything jump out at you?

Wow. All of that really smells. Do the people in the GOP ever go after any of these criminals?

Probably only conservatives.

The whole Ghost Donors issue needs prosecutions at the State level. I’m getting in touch with my FL State Reps. Need our AG involved.
