Democrats in New York are a microcosm of the arrogance and blatant corruption demonstrated by the party as a whole, as they’ve just proven…again.
We’ve previously covered how New York Attorney General Letitia James campaigned on a platform of “Get Trump!”—regardless of the charge or whether a crime had even been committed. Ultimately, she did secure a conviction in what many view as one of the most questionable prosecutions in recent memory, convincing a deep-blue New York jury that Trump had committed real estate fraud. This, despite there being no victims, no financial losses, and even testimony from the banks and insurance companies involved indicating they would still choose to work with him.
For these so-called “crimes,” Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than $450 million—a total that continues to grow as interest accrues during the appeals process. Many are questioning whether this truly reflects justice. Now, the tide appears to be turning for Letitia James. She is facing legal scrutiny over her own real estate dealings, and some New York lawmakers are arguing that taxpayers should foot the bill for her legal defense if the Department of Justice takes action against her. The New York Post:
Taxpayers could be on the hook for legal bills New York Attorney General Letitia James racks up during Justice Department probes into her alleged fraudulent real estate dealings, The Post has learned. New York’s operations budget bill includes specific language that indicates certain state officials could tap into a $10 million fund to cover “any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred” as part of a Trump administration-led probe tied to their state-based employment.
Multiple sources told The Post that the language in the bill, which will be made public later Wednesday, would apply to James’ looming legal fight. It would also cover other state employees whom the Trump administration considers going after, the sources added.
Got that? New York Democrats are preparing to establish a slush fund paid for by taxpayers to cover the costs of any legal actions some of them may face from the Trump administration — irrespective of whether they’re actually guilty of having committed any crimes, as Tish James sure seems to have done (yes, we know – innocent until proven guilty, unlike her proclaiming Trump guilty before making him try to prove his innocence).
If that doesn’t describe today’s Democratic Party in a nutshell, nothing will: Craven political moves at the expense of taxpayers to protect and defend their own.
