The New York state attorney general was indicted on charges related to alleged mortgage fraud — but the case looks like an unconstitutional selective prosecution.
In the same jurisdiction in which the Trump Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey more than a week ago, the same prosecutor who brought that case has now gone after another Trump enemy: New York Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James. (Disclosure: I worked as a volunteer member of James' transition team after her election in 2018.)
The reason for the indictment? James is accused of having falsified a mortgage application on a property purchased in Virginia. The extent of the harm she is alleged to have caused? About $18,000.
Whether the prosecution will ultimately be able to prove the case against James remains to be seen. What seems more likely is that James will be able to get the case dismissed, because it could be classified as an unconstitutional selective prosecution.
Donald Trump has railed against and threatened to prosecute James once he retook power, after she brought a civil action against him for … mortgage fraud.
James is charged with having engaged in mortgage fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. The case appears to rest on flimsy and conflicting evidence at best, has been brought on grounds that are rarely prosecuted and was filed over the objection of career lawyers within the Justice Department who did not think there was probable cause to bring the case.
What the government will have to prove in establishing the charges before a jury is that James knowingly lied when she claimed that she intended to use the home as a secondary residence at the time of...

Letitia James is About to Become NY's Top Legal Officer. Here's How She Plans to Investigate Trump.
New York AG Letitia James Repeatedly Visited Biden White House
MSNBC discovered a new term!
What else would msdnc say?
Wishful thinking, she is going to trial….. couldn’t this same defense be applied to Trump himself and his 800 felonies? Certainly folks are not prosecuted routinely for the charges they “got” him on.
Pretty clear she lied and likely more charges coming.
Can’t say “oops.”
Pride goeth before a fall. She brought this on herself to advance her public profile and career. Glass houses.
Now...for the price of lying.....1 million dollars.
“”””selective prosecution”
MSNBC discovered a new term! “””
I like to watch Nicole Wallace in the afternoons just to see her and the “experts” melt down over this horrible misuse of the DOJ. They forget that all they did for 10 years was talk about getting Trump.
Funny. The extent of harm Trump was axcused of was $0.
Now MSDNC is concerned about “selective prosecution”?! ROTFLMAO
CNN said everyone commits mortgage fraud.
Really?
She has no defense. She will only do jail time if she forced it to trial.
Gosh, I only stole 18 grand - what’s the big deal?
They’ll give her a month of community service at a spa, too.
So, running on a platform that I will prosecute a man I don’t like is NOT selective prosecution?
To some degree, ALL presecution is selective.
It’s not “selective” if they indict the other democrats who have been committing the same fraud.
Besides, the feds have solid proof she did it; it’s not like there is anything iffy about the case against her - they have her perjured statements in writing.
Rhey are accusing Trumps DOJ of doing exactly what Leticia did to Trump and are saying how horrible it is that he is doing so. These people need very large mirrors to self reflect.
The same legal experts frequently speak well of “prosecutorial discretion”.
lucky to get a weekend
Todd Blanche warned her about continuing to harass DJT.
Being a double minority will only carry you so far.
That smart-ass “nobody is above the law” comment is coming home to roost.....and I for one am thrilled.
NY had to change the law to go after Trump.
“....it could be classified as an unconstitutional selective prosecution.”
