We’re at the point where if you can view any part of this administration without some combination of laughter, ridicule, and scorn, you’re not a person who can be taken seriously.

I see it more with shock, horror, and dismay. I do have a sense of humor, but the Trump machine is a profound menace to America, humanity, and the entire biosphere. It's getting hard to laugh at that any more.

I would normally say "On what grounds?" But since these are the same people that bought us well thought out strategies of kidnapping the President of Venezuela and murdering the leader of Iran we know on what grounds. No need to ask about their plan or their strategy because you know they don't have one.

If James marked it was just her living there on the insurance application and then her kids showed up in the school district it's pretty clear cut.

Insurance application? Also, she doesn’t have any children.  I believe you are referring to the mortgage application, where it was clearly shown it was not her permanent residence. She lets her niece live there. What is going to end up happening is she will countersue for vindictive prosecution- and Comey, and others, will be used to establish that it is a pattern of behavior with this DOJ and is going to f*** our DOJ in every other case.

That’s more than fair then tie it up in the courts, similar to what was happening when Trump was out of office…

Except this time Trump has the american governmet acting as his personal legal team so he can just keep trying again and again since it doesn't cost him a dime.  That said, his record for picking lawyers and lawsuits lately had been pretty bad, so there is also a good chance it just putters out like his previous attempts, regardless of any merits.

So when they were wire tapping, etc fabricating information to obtain FISA warrants, bankrupting people like Michael Flynn, you don’t think that was directed by the POTUS at the time?

What are you even talking about?

IF you’re unaware of what went on with Obama at the helm, and then Biden, I really don’t know what to tell you.

>I really don’t know what to tell you. Yeah, I figured as much, but wanted to ask just incase.

Counter sue for defamation and invasion of privacy. Mortgage applications are not public but that little man, Pulte dug them up even. I guess his own father and step-mother's mortgage fraud conviction made him think everyone else is a fraud, too.

Meh, James did in fact lie (misrepresent for personal gain) on that mortgage application. She gave a false address which qualified her for better terms. Soooooo she ain’t countersuing anyone. But Trump suing her for this is absolutely targeting.

I guess if the fraud happens where no one can see it, then it's okay?

The fraud they couldn’t prove in at least two previous instances?

orlinsky Mar 26, 2026 +1
You mean the same way that Trump got off in the classified documents case by claiming the prosecutor was appointed improperly?

No

Ehh, this administration is *really* bad at lawsuits, so James is going to win easily.

kia75 Mar 26, 2026 +1
She will win, but she is going to have to take time defeating the lawsuit, and money paying lawyers to help her. This is a "you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride" sort of thing.

There were probably millions of frauds committed in 2020 and 2021 in real estate. Going after James is just political retribution, but I don't doubt she committed fraud along with everyone else doing deals then. A lot of the mortgage and related companies (insurace) were too worried about making money to do proper due diligence with these applications. That doesn't excuse the fraud, however.
1
RevolutionaryBug7588 Mar 26, 2026 +1
All valid points, financial institutions have their due diligence. However, that due diligence and meeting loan commitments and repayment, didn’t stop her for going after Trump.

Their goal isn't to win the lawsuit. They're forcing her to waste time and money defending herself as well as generating negative headlines for her. They can afford to do that, and it's to their advantage. It's that simple.

Republicans complain about unfair 'lawfare'. Except when they do it.

Which is shocking as their legal strategy is have no legal strategy, and that feels like a w***** to me.

eskimospy212 Mar 26, 2026 +1
Their legal strategy is to use the department of justice to intimidate their enemies.

Again? I feel like this is the tenth time I read this headline in the last year…

At this point, it feels like politics is less about governance and more about constant legal back and forth, when figures like Donald Trump and Letitia James are involved, everything turns into a high stakes battle and it’s not hard not to wonder how much of this actually benefits everyday people.

She did wrong, but shouldn’t were prioritize jailing pedophiles and war criminals?
