Letitia James can’t really be this terrible, can she? The more I look into this history, the more I become alarmed.  ,
We’re talking about Letitia James, who claims no one is above the law and is a hero of the armed fairness system that tried to boulder and impoverished Donald Trump and put him in isolation for the rest of his existence. It’s said that you better hardly miss if you’re going to shoot at the king, as they say. Or, in this case, you better not have an obvious pattern of dishonest real estate transactions.

Come get started.
Second, let me state that all of these claims are just that: complaints. They do appear to be supported by files and other assertions, but they are by no means reliable. ( I don’t live in NYC, but I’m not too far away, and I don’t like Big Tish to pursue me ) All I’m saying is, there’s an awful lot of smoke around.
Exhibit A: On a loan application, Letitia James reportedly claimed her parents as her spouse.
Second off, gross.
In 1983, when budding real estate mogul Letitia James set out to get her first house, she obtained a loan in partnership with her father, Robert James. There’s nothing strange about that; many parents cosign the word to help their children buy a home, but they don’t feel the need to represent themselves as husband and wife. Letitia and Robert did that on their loan, though. ( Letitia’s mother — Robert’s wife — is named Nellie. )
Typically, one either makes a typewritten correction and initials a document before refusing to sign until a proper document is prepared when there is an error on it. Editor Joel Gilbert deserves a hint for examining this record and Letitia James more thoroughly.
Exhibit B: Letitia James ( allegedly ) repeatedly misfiled and/or failed to disclose her real estate holdings and loans.

Investigator Sam Antar has been looking into James ‘ guilt over his web, White Collar Fraud. He published an article in March outlining her potential legal problems, which date back to when James was an appointed member of the New York City Council. Antar information:
Election officials like James are required to submit sworn annual statements to the New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government under Section 73-a of the New York Public Officers Law, disclosing all real estate holdings ( aside from personal residences that don’t generate income ), all sources of income over$ 1,000, and all debts over$ 10,000. Legitimate statements made under the fraud penalties are not required formalities.
However, an essential difference exists for debts and HELOCs on rental components: unlike public debt, which are only required to get reported if they exceed$ 10, 000, all debts and HELOCs secured by rental properties may be disclosed, regardless of the amount owed or drawn.
[…]
Fake claims are punishable by a year in prison under New York laws. A reporting person is guilty of a category A misdemeanor if they knowingly and willfully violate the law by failing to file an annual declaration of financial reporting or who knowingly and intentionally with the intent to deceive makes a fake statement or gives information that they know to be bogus on such statement of financial disclosure.

Antar then goes on to list countless examples of lost or suddenly changing or disappearing loans and economic finagling related to James’s two identified investment properties, one in Brooklyn, N. Y., and one in Norfolk, Va. People in James ‘ place cannot respond to such errors and then proceed to file a lawsuit against a then-former leader for his own alleged inappropriate filings, though it is possible to be sloppy or even mistaken when filing complex documents.
James ‘ “disclosure past” displays a pattern of delayed reporting, mysterious changes, and missing information over the course of more than ten years. These aren’t small oversights, but significant, recurring problems involving properties worth tens and mortgages totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars”, concludes Antar.
Exhibit C: Letitia James may have lied about the apartment complex she owns to get favorable loan rates.
The distinction between a residential mortgage and a commercial mortgage, which could cost thousands of dollars in interest on loan payments, and is true for multi-family homes.  ,
James made the purchase of an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York, in 2001. The building was designated as a five-unit residence by its 2001 Certificate of Occupancy ( CO ). In 2005, James refinanced the building, listing it as a four-unit dwelling on the mortgage. She also did this on subsequent refinance paperwork, including a federal program loan from 2011 that was meant to help stressed property owners. The Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, requires that the mortgage be secured by a one to four-unit property, one of which is the borrower’s principal residence. Antar has a deeper dive into this fishy situation over on his website.

James has knowingly committed fraud every time she has financed or refinanced a five-unit structure, even if it is a real five-unit structure. There is no record of any permits for this work, despite the less-fraught explanation that she ( or a previous owner ) converted two units into a single one. This would put James in violation with the NYC Dept. of buildings and have legal ramifications. Which is it then?
Exhibit D: Letitia James may have fraudulently applied for a mortgage to get a favorable interest rate.
I covered this story yesterday, but the underlying theory is that James and a female relative purchased a house in Norfolk, Virginia, in 2023. She claimed that the home would be her primary residence on a Specific Power of Attorney in connection with the sale that James signed. But as she went on to prosecute Donald Trump in her role as New York attorney general two months later, she could not have resided in the Virginia home after all. So it appears as though she either committed fraud or left the position of New York attorney general by relocating.

These are just the things that have bubbled to the surface in the past few weeks, as citizen sleuths comb through publicly available records and compare them to statute and law. Who knows what kind of self-dealing, corrupt behavior she might exhibit on the low, if this is just the stuff James leaves lying around in public? In the examples above, there is undoubtedly enough to warrant an investigation into the woman’s dealings.  ,

It is a mystery to me that someone who took on such a controversial case would have attacked a former and current president by going through his business affairs with a fine-toothed comb and teasing out a tale of fraudulent real estate financing when her own home was in such disrepair. Her foolishness was astounding.
The lawfare campaign against President Trump that kicked off during his first campaign, went into high gear after the 2020 election, and culminated in dual assassination attempts in 2024, is a shameful low point in American history. It was a little over a year ago when I learned that Fani Willis ‘ fabricated Georgia RICO case against Trump was about to collapse. This developing tale about Tish James ‘ potentially criminal behavior, some of which may conflict with federal law, gives me the same sense of significance. Since the DOJ is now part of the Trump administration, this woman has no reason to expect the sort of consideration she has apparently enjoyed from New York City and State authorities.

I suppose that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, among others, must be experiencing a spike in the pucker factor at this time. I sincerely hope that everyone involved in the banana-republic lawfare attacks on Donald Trump is as innocent as the snow that blows in the wind.  ,
No, I don’t support politicized prosecution; instead, I support equal law enforcement. What revolves revolves revolves, eh?
