The Legal Drama: Letitia James’ Pursuit of Donald Trump

The Legal Drama: Letitia James' Pursuit of Donald Trump

Douglas Andrews – This is how sick our society has become: Letitia James ran for attorney general of New York in 2018 on a platform to perp-walk and prosecute Donald Trump, calling him “illegitimate” and “an embarrassment.” And she won.

Perhaps New Yorkers, though, upon reflection, would ultimately realize that the Get Trump industry is a crooked one and that decent people don’t elect an attorney general on a promise to go after a particular citizen but rather to duly uphold and enforce the law. But no. The citizens of the once-proud but now Trump-deranged Empire State reelected her in 2022 by nearly half a million votes. So much for calls of conscience. Continue reading

Is New York City Bringing Down Its Financial House?

With The Trump Verdict, Is New York City Bringing Down Its Financial House?Anony Mee – I feel sorry for President Trump, his family, his colleagues and coworkers, and all who depend on his various enterprises for their livelihood.

What A Joke! (Except It’s Definitely NOT Funny)

What A Joke! (Except It's Definitely NOT Funny)Jessica C. – Without even having a trial and with no jury present, a judge in the NY Attorney General Letitia James lawsuit against Donald Trump has handed down a shocking ruling.

It’s hard to even express how outlandishly illegal Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling is. The judge canceled the business certificates of the Trump Organization and its subsidiary LLCs in New York State and is giving them 10 days to name independent receivers to dissolve all the businesses.

This doesn’t even rise to the level of banana republic stuff. This was an act of judicial sedition in which the judge threw out the Magna Carta and the US Constitution. Continue reading
