Oh, the sweet, sweet irony! New York Attorney General Tish James won on a platform of ‘get Donald Trump one way or the other,’ and, with the help of a crooked far-left court system in her state, she did. “Property fraud.” Okay. Well, guess what the Karma bus delivered on Thursday? A heap big dose of payback: The FBI under President Donald Trump is launching a criminal investigation into James for…anyone? Property fraud. You gotta love it.
Since March, James has faced mounting allegations that she submitted false information on federal documents to secure favorable loan terms for multiple properties. Critics claim the New York attorney general falsely declared her primary residence as being in Virginia, misrepresented the size of a New York apartment building to bypass additional regulatory requirements, and even listed her elderly father as her husband on official paperwork.
A source familiar with the investigation said the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office have launched a joint review of documents related to Letitia James’ 2023 purchase of a home in Virginia, following concerns raised last month by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte. In a letter, Pulte questioned how James—who is legally required to maintain residency in New York—could plausibly be spending most nights at the Virginia property. His concerns were reinforced by a visit from Daily Caller reporters, who were confronted and forced off the premises by a woman who declined to answer questions about James or her connection to the residence.
Pulte also alleged that James “falsified” records connected to her 2001 purchase of a Brooklyn brownstone, reportedly understating the number of units in the building—an apparent effort to avoid compliance with regulations requiring the installation of fire alarms and other safety measures.
News of the investigation emerged just as state lawmakers quietly included a $10 million provision in the budget, allowing state officials to use taxpayer funds to cover legal defense costs in cases brought by the federal government. While Democrats in the legislature have framed the measure as a safeguard for state employees, it comes amid growing speculation that New York’s top law enforcement officer could soon face federal charges related to alleged real estate fraud—casting a long shadow over the provision’s true intent.
Normally, we’d be opposed to the weaponization of law enforcement and the courts. But Democrats like James don’t play by the rules, so if it takes some legal payback to stop the kind of nonsensical and highly politicized actions she took against a then-former U.S. president, then so be it. Turnabout is fair play, or in this case, karma on steroids. She should at least suffer the humiliation of being perp-walked out of her office and have her mugshot taken at a stinky, disheveled, decrepit police precinct of the same kind Trump endured. After all, “no one is above the law,” right, Tish?
