Let's go!!! Justice is coming for AG James. Her Stalinist attempt to destroy Donald Trump is finally going to get full scrutiny. This is in addition to the investigation into her miraculous rise in net worth through crooked real estate deals.
James was hit with subpoenas as part of a grand jury probe by the Albany US Attorney’s Office into her office’s $454 million civil fraud case against President Trump.

If Trump were guilty of something egregious the world could accept accountability demanded on his part.
What he faced was in my opinion, and I stated so at the time; was an insulting, dangerous and alarming abuse of power and violation of his civil rights. To go after him with the courts for taking a loan from a bank that has unlimited funds to confirm the value of the collateral, independent of even the lender making a claim, has to be a violation of his rights and suitable for some judicial recourse.
Just because he is worth billions and is a well known figure doesn't mean he should be treated unfairly by the state.
Justice must be blind and not vexation in nature. The lender didn't complain and even profited from the loan (not something they can't always say in lending).
Appraisal of any asset is always as much of an art as a science. Owner goes high, lender/buyer goes low, you generally meet at some number. If the bank had any questions in their confidence in the value they loaned against there is no way in hell they would give him a loan. At worst, they might knowingly accept a higher risk due to the property or client
but ultimately it is THEIR business to know what risk is acceptable. It's certainly not criminal or in the purview of an AG in a state to intervene in this private transaction.
He didn't do anything wrong and nor did the lender. This was a private loan between two entities and Trump paid it back with interest. The fine leveled against him was right out of the Soviet playbook.
If you ever wanted to tell the world that "New York is not a place you want to invest your capital", by definition this case illustrated such a declaration.
I know what's it's like to be persecuted but I'm accustomed to it living in this country, it's been going on for decades. To have your rights so publicly violated and so many American cowards unwilling to say "this is wrong what they are doing to this man" is a real damn shame. That's not the America I grew up knowing of and respecting from afar.
