Defiant New York Attorney General Letitia James slammed President Donald Trump's 'desperate weaponization' of the Department of Justice following a bombshell indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud.
The attorney general - who has been a major critic of Trump and launched a successful civil lawsuit against him in February 2023 for business fraud - stood tall in a video response to the indictment Thursday evening.
'This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system,' she wrote on X.
'I am not fearful - I am fearless,' she declared, vowing: 'We will fight these baseless charges aggressively and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.'
In her video, James also accused the president of 'forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.
'These charges are baseless and the president's own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,' she continued.
The attorney general went on to tell 'leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.'
James has already gained the support of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who wrote that: 'New Yorkers know @NewYorkStateAG James for her integrity, her independence and her relentless fight for justice.'
'What we're seeing today is nothing less than the weaponization of the Justice Department to punish those who hold the powerful accountable.'

Jabba sounds desperate.
Suck it up BUTTERCUP!
Sorry to be dense, but is the same person that a US Attorney in VA refused to bring charges against (in the news a couple of days ago)? Or was that someone different?
“””And anything she says now can and will be used against her in court.””””””””””””
Think about election night 2024. Leticia James, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith and others thought for sure they had so disgraced Trump that there was no way he would win. They were very happy because they would all get powerful positions in a Kamela administration for taking him down.
Then he won.
How many of those folks were on the phone to their lawyers immediately?
You’re gonna look great in orange, Tish. Soon as we can find a circus tent big enough to cover your wide rear end.
“I know you are but what am I?”
Yes. Same person.

Says the woman who ran for office on the platform of destroying Trump, his family and his businesses.
“...following a bombshell indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud...”
The jig is up...so to speak.
That's very niggardly of you.
Don't get too confident. Did you see the judge that was assigned to the case? A DEI, Black, LGBTQ, Biden appointed judge.
So Letita James’ claims that President Trump weaponized the Justice Department is an argument to put herself above the law. It utilizing the logical fallacy of The Big Lie Technique (also the Bold Faced Lie; “Staying on Message.”):
The contemporary fallacy of repeating a lie, fallacy, slogan, talking-point, nonsense-statement or deceptive half-truth over and over in different forms (particularly in the media) until it becomes part of daily discourse and people accept it without further proof or evidence. Sometimes the bolder and more outlandish the Big Lie becomes the more credible it seems to a willing, most often angry audience. E.g., “What about the Jewish Problem?” Note that when this particular phony debate was going on there was no “Jewish Problem,” only a Nazi Problem, but hardly anybody in power recognized or wanted to talk about that, while far too many ordinary Germans were only too ready to find a convenient scapegoat to blame for their suffering during the Great Depression.
Letita James is using the The Big Lie Technique to scapegoat her violation of law.
IOW, she wants to break the law herself with impunity while she uses fraudulent, bogus charges to make life hell for her political targets.

Nay..I’m a generous tipper!😎
Thank you for clarification.
Oh, the irony
Get a lawyer Tish. I recommend not representing yourself.
