New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office and her attorney have issued a response after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) launched an investigation against her on serious federal charges.
As Slay News reported, James is now under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for her targeting of President Donald Trump, as well as another instance tied to her actions.
The DOJ launched the investigation into James under the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Subpoenas have reportedly been issued to James in connection with allegations of “deprivation of rights,” a major federal crime that carries severe penalties.
The investigation centers on “deprivation of rights,” with legal sources referencing Section 242 of Title 18.
The statute makes it a federal crime for an individual acting under color of law to willfully deprive someone of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
If convicted under this statute, offenders face significant penalties, including life in prison or even the death penalty.
Jasmes and her lawyers have now ascended to new levels of irony by complaining about the “weaponization” of the justice system after the DOJ announced a probe against her.
After leading a blatantly political indictment against the president, James and her office have the audacity to complain that the Trump DOJ is being “weaponized” to punish a political opponent of the White House.
James and the Biden DOJ pursued criminal investigations against Trump relentlessly for years, and now the shoe is on the other foot, and they aren’t happy with the rules that they created.
The Democrat prosecutor is currently facing a probe from the DOJ regarding her political prosecution of Trump and the National Rifle Association (NRA), which is a moment that conservatives have been waiting on for years.
James is just one of several high-profile leftist prosecutors who attempted to interfere with the 2024 presidential election with political indictments.
It appears that justice is finally here for James and her cohorts.
After four years of persecuting Trump, James and her Democrat friends are now on the wrong side of the law.
After years of political indictments, Trump has all the room to direct the DOJ to investigate his opponents for any supposed crimes.
Abbe Lowell, James’s attorney, issued a statement claiming:
“[It is] the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president’s political retribution campaign.
“Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job is an attack on the rule of law and a dangerous escalation by this administration.”
The irony of this statement isn’t lost on the Trump administration or the president’s conservative supporters, who aren’t shedding tears at the thought of Democrats reaping what they sowed for all those years.
Furthermore, there are legitimate merits to the probe against James as the DOJ is investigating if the Democrat attorney general’s office may have violated constitutional protections under the “color of law,” a legal term that describes abuses of power by government officials.
The prospective case is probing whether James deprived Trump, his business empire, and the NRA of their legal rights in her blatantly political investigation that was designed to damage Trump’s presidential campaign.
James is well and truly in trouble, and this is only the beginning.
Trump is in office for another three and a half years and has all the leeway to exact his retribution without damaging his support, thanks to the vicious and reckless behavior of Democrats that changed the rules of the game.
James doesn’t just have to worry about the DOJ probing her office for allegations of political persecution; she is also facing allegations of mortgage fraud alongside Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), another notorious anti-Trump Democrat.
Schiff is accused of lying about his primary residence for tax and mortgage purposes, and after how viciously he pursued Trump, the White House will not be showing mercy should it be found that Schiff was committing fraud.
As for James, if she were found guilty of fraud, it would be sweet revenge for Trump, who was accused of inflating his real estate portfolio by the New York AG.
