Letitia James pleaded not guilty in federal court
New York Attorney General Letitia James appeared in a federal court in Norfolk, Virginia. She is accused of engaging in bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. James pleaded not guilty to both charges. Ironically during her campaign, James voted to investigate Trump and his businesses.
From Fox News:
New York Attorney General Letitia James was arraigned at a federal court in Norfolk, Virginia, Friday, where she pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.
The charges against James stem from her 2020 purchase of a home in Norfolk, Virginia. Prosecutors allege that James misled a bank about the nature of the residence in order to obtain more favorable loan conditions.
The indictment states that James benefited from the so-called “ill-gotten gains” as a result of her actions on the $109,600 mortgage, and would save nearly $19,000 over the course of the 30-year loan.
James’ arraignment is the latest in a string of prosecutions brought against the president’s perceived political foes, despite objections from career prosecutors — some of whom have since been fired or resigned.
James, a Democrat, has long-drawn Trump’s ire after she campaigned for attorney general in 2016 largely on vows to investigate Trump’s actions and businesses.
She also successfully secured a $450 million civil fraud case against him last year, though an appeals court later tossed the financial penalty portion of the case.
“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system,” James said in a statement after she was indicted.
“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,” she added.
Her indictment, like the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, was presented to a grand jury by former White House aide Lindsey Halligan, whom President Donald Trump installed as the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia last month.
Trump, in September, said he would install Halligan as the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, replacing interim attorney Erik Siebert, who resigned under pressure to indict both Comey and James.

Looks like “No one is above the law” thing is no longer applicable.
What LeTaTa hasn’t realized yet is that “No One Is Above The Law” is a two way street.
I say the nasty hog gets off.
Yup…
Counselor Halligan is well named. Ask a fireman.
*grin*
I hope that reality bites her hard.
And takes a large and memorable chuck out of her tail.
Question: what mouthwash should reality use to get the taste out of its mouth?
Well, whoever or whatever bites it better have a huge mouth.
Jose Cuervo. 1800. Repeat as necessary.
I truly hope it bites her twice as hard as cheap Tequila does with a hangover.
Hmmm….Wonder if this will go down the same path as Jay Jones…You Be The Judge…
“Many Virginia Residents Have Faced Jail Time For Reckless Driving, Jay Jones Did Not”
https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-residents-jail-time-reckless-driving-jay-jones-community-service-virginia-democrat-attorney-general-candidate-new-kent-county-speeding
“Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones was convicted of reckless driving in 2022 for driving 116 miles per hour in a 70-mph zone. Jones was ordered to pay a fine and do 1,000 hours of community service.”
“If you were caught driving 46 miles per hour over the speed limit in Virginia, would you expect to serve jail time or at least have your license suspended or driving privileges restricted? Those are the kinds of consequences many Virginia drivers have had to face but Jay Jones did not.”
“Court records show, one man was found guilty of driving 115 mph in a 70 in New Kent County. He got 10 days in jail, his license was suspended for six months, he was fined $2,000, and once he got his license back, he could only drive to and from work.”
“On he same day Jones received his sentence, a Woodbridge man was sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving 115 mph in a 70-mph zone. The Prince William County man’s sentence was suspended as long as he didn’t speed again. The Woodbridge man’s license was suspended for six months, then restricted, and he was fined $1,500.”
“Another man was found guilty of reckless driving for driving 104 mph in a 70-mph zone in New Kent County. That earned him 20 days in jail, a six-month license suspension, and a $1,250 fine.”
“Jones, a former Virginia lawmaker, got no jail time for driving 116 mph in a 70 on I-64. He paid a $1,500 fine, his driving privileges were not impacted and he got 1,000 hours of community service.”
“The Richmond Times Dispatch reported that Jones completed those 1,000 hours — equal to 25 weeks of full-time work — in just one year.”
“Half of those hours were spent working for his own political action committee, called Meet Our Moment. 7News confirms the PAC is registered with the Virginia Board of Elections and is not a nonprofit charitable organization. The person who provided confirmation to the court that Jones put in 500 hours of community service at the PAC was one of his own employees.”
“The other 500 hours of community service, according to the Times-Dispatch, were served at the NAACP Virginia State Conference, where he worked on a lawsuit the organization filed against the Youngkin administration.”
Absolutely disgusting. A scofflaw and political hater wants to be Va Attorney General. This just shows the kind of political grifters the D-rats want to put in office.

Obviously corruption is the way of life when one is a D-rat!
I’ve been spending time on X/Twitter over the past few weeks firing the meme cannons against Spanberger, Hashmi, and Jones. I clocked in some of my best “reacted to” comments since having an account there.
One of the pro-Spanberger accounts followed me. I voted early in person last month for Earl-Sears, Reid, and Miyares.

Of course the liberal media hacks are going to kiss up to their political masters in painting her as the victim, with her throwing her ACME® Race Victim Card™ every chance she gets.
