You realize that The DM has plenty of leftist writers whose purpose is to manufacture division among Trump’s officials? That garbage article, and they have revised it again, is just one of many examples. Not worth wasting our SF space, imo.

Bondi needed a prod and Halligan delivered it. President Trump replaced the former prosecutor with Halligan to see some action. That was a fair article IMO.

They manufactured a perception of cat fight between Bondi and Halligan. The article, when originally written, was even worse. If they want to be viewed as real journalists, then stop with the garbage. But I guess that’s too much to ask of the National Enquirer Light.

Kash addressed this sort of manufactured feuding not too long ago in an interview. I do not recall to whom he was speaking but he made it pretty clear that it’s a tactic.
Eh, what the heck, when you haven’t got any real dirt to report…

Maybe but it is gonna cost plenty,

Trump beat almost all the cases against him. The assholes that charged him may beat their cases too, but they will be financially and professionally ruined. And they will be the example for anyone else that tries to pull this shit again.

Only Trump's personal wealth and iron will pulled him through, along with the American people that stood by him. I cannot think of anyone else in politics being able to do this without falling apart.

I don't expect that witch to serve one day in jail. I really hope at a minimum it breaks her financially and politically.

Letitia James’s Decades of Alleged Mortgage Fraud

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margo...ack-decades-n4944754

After four years of relentless lawfare against President Trump, with Democrats shouting that “no one is above the law,” they’ve made one thing perfectly clear: in their world, Democrats are above the law. The evidence that New York Attorney General Letitia James engaged in mortgage fraud is extensive and damning, yet Democrats react with outrage, accusing Trump of “targeting his enemies,” with zero self-awareness or irony.

Make no mistake—unlike James’s baseless case against Trump, the proof that James herself broke the law is overwhelming. Conservative filmmaker and journalist Joel Gilbert laid out a detailed and troubling case, showing that her alleged pattern of mortgage fraud spans decades, and is far more serious than her defenders admit.

Speaking on Real America’s Voice, Gilbert made a detailed James’s extensive history of mortgage fraud.

“Letitia James probably should not have been charging Donald Trump with trumped-up charges of mortgage fraud in New York, given the fact that New York is a public record state and that all of her mortgages for 43 years were online for myself or anybody else to pull up,” Gilbert said. He then outlined a pattern of alleged mortgage fraud dating back to 1983, when James was just 24 years old. “She purchased her first home with her father, claiming that her father was her husband,” he said. “They purchased it as husband and wife in order to help Letitia qualify for a mortgage that she was not entitled to.”

The filmmaker said James continued this pattern with her Brooklyn property. “She bought a four-story, five-unit apartment building, and for 24 years she told the banks it was either four units or one unit, even though the certificate of occupancy for the building said it was five units,” Gilbert explained. He noted that the distinction mattered, because “if you have four units or less, you get a residential mortgage rate, which is lower. You also get almost no closing costs. Five units or higher, like Letitia had, you get high interest rates and very high closing costs.”

And there’s more.

“She also didn’t register for rent stabilization, which she was supposed to do every year.” As Gilbert put it, “her building is a crime scene, and she defrauded and scammed banks for 24 years” to save money “she wasn’t entitled to.”

James also engaged in mortgage fraud with three homes in Virginia. “Every one of those three homes, there’s mortgage fraud. She buys a foreclosure with her aunt, and then she doesn’t appear on the deed, which is illegal,” Gilbert said.

He described one property on Sterling Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, in particular: “She explicitly says, ‘I bought this for my niece’s children,’ to make us think that, oh, she, she’s trying to help little kids. Well, her niece’s two children are adult convicted felons. One of them is an absconder from justice with an arrest warrant out of North Carolina. So Letitia bought the property specifically to harbor a fugitive.”

Gilbert also explained how James misrepresented her occupancy to get favorable mortgage terms. “My colleague Sam Antar pointed out that Letitia claimed that would be her primary residence. It was actually rejected by the bank nine times. The tenth time, Letitia says, ‘That’s gonna be my primary residence.’ It gets approved, and that was illegal ‘cause she got the mortgage and lower interest rates because she’d be the primary resident.”

It’s the third Virginia property that triggered the first major legal action against James, as she allegedly rented it out despite a loan requiring her to occupy it or treat it as a second residence—an apparent case of bank fraud carrying up to 30 years in prison. He warned this indictment may be only the beginning, noting James’s alleged pattern of mortgage fraud spans 24 years, including as recently as 2021. Gilbert concluded that James has “repeatedly gamed the system, defrauded banks, and misrepresented herself on property transactions for decades,” all while pursuing politically motivated cases against others.

^^^^^^
With Halligan as prosecutor James ought to be sweating bullets.

It's now becoming more and more clear how she's an expert on this fraud.

She didn't learn much in law school.

Thing is, Hochul set up a $10 million legal defense fund, for just such an occasion... So it's actually going to cost the good taxpayers of NY State.

This could be an opportunity for additional prosecution. If she doesn't claim it on her taxes then the IRS should go after her.

Possibly the defense fund and Hochul is a primary target of the LJ prosecutions.

Letitia James' Fugitive Niece Has Been Ducking Justice In Disputed 'Primary Residence'

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ed-primary-residence

Wow, things just keep getting worse for New York Attorney General Letitia James.

On Monday the Daily Mail revealed that James' has been letting her grandniece Nakia Thompson - along with Thompson's three children - live in the Norfolk, Virginia house at the center of James' federal indictment.

Thompson has been living at the property since 2020, after ducking authorities in North Carolina for failing to finish her probation. She is considered a fugitive and has an active warrant for her arrest if she's located in North Carolina.

"Ms Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing, and has willfully avoided probation supervision," Keith Acree, communications director for the North Carolina Department of Corrections told the Mail, adding "An absconder is considered a fugitive."

"Thompson faces arrest if she is located in North Carolina," but said that she's unlikely to be extradited due to the nature of her alleged crimes (trespass and assault).

And according to the NY Times, Thompson, 36, told a grand jury in June that she has been living rent-free at James' home - claiming that the NY AG even pays for basic upkeep.

Meanwhile, Thompson was reportedly arrested for an altercation the day James' indictment was announced.

What's this "alleged crimes" BS? In the previous paragraph it says she was convicted. There's nothing alleged about it.

Letitia James is housing criminal OnlyFans model relative at her other Virginia property — which also faced fed investigation

https://nypost.com/2025/10/16/...r-virginia-property/

NORFOLK, Virginia — New York Attorney General Letitia James is housing a second criminal family member at her properties in Virginia — and The Post can reveal she and her big sister were partners in crime.

James’ grand-niece Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21 — who is an OnlyFans star with a public, X-rated social media presence — was charged in April 2024 with lying about her felony criminal record when she tried to buy a gun in Suffolk, Virginia, according to court docs.

Cayla was legally “disqualified” from owning a firearm due to an August 2020 felony charge of malicious wounding — which Virginia law defines as a crime in which a person “shoots, stabs, cuts or wounds any other person, or by any means causes bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable or kill.”

Thompson-Hairston was a juvenile at the time, and the records of that case are sealed.

The weapons charges were later dropped because they learned Cayla’s malicious wounding charge was pleaded down to a misdemeanor, prosecutors said.

In 2019, when Cayla was just 15 years old, she was also caught up in the criminal hijinks of her big sister, Nakia Thompson, 36, who is a wanted fugitive by North Carolina authorities with a slew of arrests, according to docs.



Cayla’s social media profile includes photos of her flashing her naked body and also flashing cash alongside a boyfriend.

She recently announced she was pregnant and has posted numerous videos of herself dancing with her baby belly exposed.

Both family members — Cayla Thompson-Hairston and Nakia Thompson — live in houses owned by James that have been at the center of federal criminal scrutiny over mortgage documents that James signed.

James is currently facing 60 years in prison for bank fraud and false statement charges after federal prosecutors accused her of lying on the mortgage application for the house where Thompson lives.

Very classy, yep very classy indeed.

The entire "James Gang" all appear to meet the low standards of vile and worthless scum.

Letitia James’ criminal kin have been charged 11 times in 5 years — but keep getting off easy

https://nypost.com/2025/10/17/...ep-getting-off-easy/

New York Attorney General Letitia James’ troubled grand-nieces have been charged with a combined eight felonies and three misdemeanors in the past five years — but had their charges downgraded or dropped every time.

The women live in James’ Norfolk, Va., homes, which have been the subject of intense federal scrutiny in recent months over mortgage documents James signed — including a federal criminal indictment that has New York’s top law enforcer facing 60 years in federal prison.

Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21, an OnlyFans model with an X-rated social media presence, was hit with felony charges in April 2024 for allegedly lying about having a felony criminal record when she tried to buy a gun in Suffolk, Va., according to court documents.

Cops said that she was barred from owning a handgun due to a juvenile felony charge of malicious wounding in August 2020.

However, the weapons charges were later dropped entirely.

Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi, a Democrat, said prosecutors later learned the juvenile charges were pleaded down to a misdemeanor.

Suffolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Narendra Pleas, also a Dem, did not respond to The Post’s request for clarification on why she dropped the charges.

One legal observer said it was concerning that the charges were dropped entirely — particularly in light of Thompson-Hairston’s violent criminal history.

“There’s nothing I saw that explains why the prosecutor would not go forward with some sort of consequence for this behavior,” Andrew Kersey, a former prosecutor in Fairfax County, who looked over the court documents obtained by The Post.

“Prosecutors have a lot of power, and they can be merciful, but they just don’t drop the charges like that.”

In June of last year — while still on bond weeks after her gun bust — Thompson-Hairston was arrested for grand larceny after stealing around $1,600 worth of merchandise from a Walmart store in Norfolk, court documents alleged.

She later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor petit larceny and was given a suspended prison sentence of 12 months — never seeing the inside of a prison cell — and placed on unsupervised probation for the same amount of time.

Thompson-Hairston was also banned from all Walmart and Sam’s Club stores and ordered to pay restitution of $2,500, according to an arrest warrant viewed by The Post.

Fatehi told The Post that the sentence was on par with Virginia guidelines, and that charging her with a misdemeanor instead of a felony was “proper, just, and consistent with our values as Americans.”

“Labeling Ms. Hairston a ‘felon’ just because we could would have put virtue-signaling over public safety, making it more difficult for her to work and be a citizen, ultimately costing the rest of us money,” he said.

As for the dropping of the weapons charges, Fatehi said he was “confident” that if Suffolk County prosecutor’s office “had the evidence to convict Ms. Hairston, they would have done so.”

Fatehi said he was unaware of Thompson-Hairston’s familial connection to James, but in April, he said that the criminal investigation of James’ properties in his district was “political retaliation.”

He has also frequently battled local officials who accuse him of going light on shoplifting cases.

Another grand-niece of James, Cayla’s big sister Nakia Thompson, 36, has an extensive rap sheet of her own and is currently deemed a fugitive in Forsyth County, North Carolina, for failing to finish her probation, according to authorities.

In addition to being arrested twice for assaulting cops in North Carolina, Thompson and Thompson-Hairston were busted in August 2019 for stealing nearly $2,000 worth of merchandise from Macy’s and Dillard’s in Chesapeake, Va., where they lived before moving into James’ homes.

Thompson was hit with two grand larceny charges, as well as petit larceny 3rd offense, possession of burglary tools, and three charges of contributing to delinquency of a minor, due to her having her then-teenage sister and two young children in tow at the time, records obtained by The Post show.

But the charges all but evaporated by the time she stood before a judge.

Thompson pleaded them down to one charge each of petit and grand larceny. She was sentenced to six years in jail, with all but six months suspended.

She was also given two years of supervised probation, ordered to pay $2,020 in fees and barred from all Macy’s and Dillard’s stores for 10 years, documents show.
