"All day Thursday, I was texting with a group of friends about whether and how blue states could band together if President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, as Santa Monica Goebbels (Stephen Miller) is clearly salivating to do. I was certain about only one thing: Democratic Attorneys General, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, are already looking at that."
"but this vendetta prosecution is almost certain to fail. For those who haven't followed closely, earlier this year a Trump toady uncovered one document in a mortgage James was sponsoring for a relative, saying she intended to live in the property as a primary residence. All the other mortgage documents showed that she properly reported she was helping a niece buy the property, and would not reside there."
Letitia James, who led coordinated legal planning among Democratic attorneys general to resist potential assaults on democratic norms, now faces an indictment on at least one mortgage fraud count. The prosecution stems from a single document in a mortgage she sponsored for a relative that suggested she would reside in the property, while multiple other documents showed she was assisting a niece and would not live there. The indictment is framed as part of a pattern of weaponizing minor infractions by the Justice Department against political opponents, and the prosecution is likely to fail.
