New York Attorney General Letitia James is famous for restating the old adage, “No one is above law.” But in these days of Democrat lawfare, apparently that no longer applies to Democrats.
The reason for this is her words do not match her actions as, truthfully, her actions match an old communist Polish/Russian adage, “Give me the man and I will give you the case against him.”
James used an old New York State law that has never been used like this before against former President Donald Trump. New York Executive Law 63(12) is a law passed back in 1956 that gives the AG of NY broad powers to investigate and prosecute cases of alleged civil fraud.

Larceny is a crime involving the unlawful taking or theft of personal property of another person or business. Grand larceny is defined as a crime of theft of property worth more than given a state’s statutory requirement. NY AG Letitia James, in cooperation with Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, today may become guilty of the crime of grand larceny in the civil fraud prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization (https://www.trump.com/).
Prior Bias Requires Recusal
The evidence of this as a crime is actually laid out in the written records of this recent court case brought against the Trump’s (Don Sr., Don Jr., and Eric) as well as past video soundbites and social media posts found on the Internet before the trial began by James and Engoron. Both of these supposed legal professionals exposed their bias before trial. That alone is public record enough whereby a legitimate judge and State AG should have recused themselves from a legitimate case.
Back in 2022 Judge Engoron called former President Donald Trump “just a bad guy” in a rebuke to a lawyer who argued the former president was being unfairly singled out for investigation by NY AG James. And, in her campaign for NY AG, James said, “I Look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day and suing him (Donald Trump). He will get to know my name personally!”
There was no fraud because there was no victim and thus no monetary damages due. Also, there was no previous case law to justify this trial going forward and no victim means no evidence to support this trial.
As the fake news media likes to so often use the tag line, “without evidence”, that tag line certainly applies to this case.
James Case Violates the Constitution and Law
Many legal experts have weighed in on this case pointing out all its flaws. None have been more prominent than Law Professor Emeritus at Harvard Law, Alan Dershowitz, a Democrat. Some of the points he and others have raised include:
- The conduct of the case violates the Constitution.
- It violates the Due Process clause as you cannot deny somebody the right to appeal based on lack of funds for a bond. (I thought Democrats loved cashless bail?)
- Trump was denied a jury trial to allow Engoron to maintain outcome.
- It violates the 8th Amendment clause (excessive punishment and unreasonable bonds/fines).
- The evidence and testimony of the case proved there was no crime because there was no victim and nobody suffered loss or harm so how was guilt established?
- The Trump Organization has an “iron clad” full disclosure clause in their contracts that demands the loan agencies doing business with it do their own due diligence in appraising the values of the Trump properties to be financed. To anybody who passed the Bar and even those who have not but understand real estate business and law knows this means the impetus shifts to the lender from the borrower!
- The case lacked a victim requesting damages for alleged fraud.

Engoron’s Case Ruling
The summation of what Judge Engoron ruled (without evidence) or case law to support his ruling is as follows:
Donald Trump ordered to pay a $354.8 million fine (plus approx. $100 million in interest) and barred for 3 years from doing business in NY.
Donald Trump Jr.: $4 million fine and barred for 2 years from serving as officer of a NY company.
Eric Trump: $4 million fine and barred for 2 years from serving as officer of a NY company.
James Personal Wealth
A mystery worthy of investigation about AG James would be her personal finances. James is said to have accumulated an estimated net worth of $15 million since her admission to practice law in the state in 1989. James has been serving in her current position since 2019 and reportedly reports making around $4 million annually, with her salary accounting for only $220,000 of this sum.
James the Hypocrite
Another mystery of AG James is the very fraud she has charged former President Donald Trump with, she actually appears to be guilty of herself!
“New York Irish Society’s Mortgage Default and Letitia James Hypocrisy”
A few years back James came down on the side of the Irish Society against its lender for a building, James Doyle, at 991 Fifth Avenue. The building was said to be worth $80 million worthy of a $3 million dollar loan from Doyle when the building recently sold for $40 million and Doyle is still left being owed money for his loan.
James Doyle’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, alleges James involvement in the case may be driven by “connections with the Defendant.” He points out the uncanny similarities between his client Doyle’s predicament where James opposes him and the case brought against former President Trump where James alleges Trump inflated the value of his properties to get better loan mortgages, (WITHOUT EVIDENCE).
James Campaign Interference
The timing of this case that Federal prosecutors had previously agreed should not be brought against the Trump Organization is not the only evidence of campaign interference by James.
President Trump alleges Judge Engoron and AG James almost doubled the amount of the penalty they were originally seeking from $250 to $500 million after they became aware of his campaign’s financial standing through campaign disclosure laws.
About a month ago at CPAC, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) railed against NY AG Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron.
“’It’s Corrupt!’: Elise Stefanik Rips Letitia James And Arthur Engoron Over Trump Civil Fraud Trial”
CONCLUSION:
Judge Engoron has said Trump’s frauds “shock the conscience.” For many this was reminiscent of Rep. Adam Schiff (CA-D) saying, “Ample evidence of collusion in plain sight.” Arty and Adam are now both laughing stocks without credibility or character.
Because James campaigned to “Get Trump,” she has proven herself guilty of prosecutorial misconduct and should be so charged and prosecuted as well as disbarred.
Because of the timing of this case and all the other Democrat led cases filed against former President Trump, every prosecutor to bring charges against him is now guilty of election interference. Also, the critical thinking questions need to be asked as to whether they have prior connections to George Soros? Is this an actual conspiracy unfolding before our very eyes?
Because people who should be speaking out against this from president Joe Biden, to DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland to the American Bar Association remain oddly silent, they are all guilty of this same crime by association and can be assumed to be in collusion.
One of the most famous quotes of our time was by Mike Lindell when he produced all kinds of evidence about 2020 Election frauds and then addressed the mainstream media saying, “Their ‘Big Lie,’ is the BIG LIE!”
I will now paraphrase Mike by saying, “The Trump alleged crimes, are the ACTUAL CRIMES!”
Once again one can think of the socialist Democrats as the, “Do as I say, not as I do,” clan!
Their crime is prosecutorial misconduct of harassment by litigation and all the proof you need is Joe Biden getting a free pass for having classified documents in 3 locations (including China Town) he was not even supposed to be in possession of, while former President Donald Trump gets prosecuted for having documents he was legally entitled to have for a period of 5 years after leaving office secured in the confines of his Mar-a-Lago resort home!
