Letitia James, a disgrace to the legal profession.

 OBVIOUS ABUSE OF POWER SHOULD BE THROWN OUT AT FIRST HEARING

ANOTHER POLITICAL  PROSECUTION



Yesterday, the Attorney General of New York state, Letitia James,  who in her campaign pledged to get Donald Trump, filed a civil suit claiming fraud, by the Trump family and the Trump organization. This is the culmination of  her political investigation to find any violation by the Trump Company or its executives. All without any serious probable cause or complaint from anyone. It is a purely political persecution of the worst kind. It is an abuse of power which needs to be stopped in this country,

This suit claims that the Trump organization under assessed their assets to save on property taxes. They also claim they inflated their assets values to acquire loans. This is an absurd accusation, as anyone who owns property knows, that the assessor for the government determines asset values and you have a right to appeal those decisions to get the best result.  As for inflating the value of assets to acquire loans, the bank or lending institution does not take anyone's word for a value, but does the evaluation by their own personnel. This is all a blatant abuse of power and this AG is way out of line and needs to face disbarment and other accountability. 

One must wonder how the state has standing to file civil suits when there has not been anyone who has filed suit claiming fraud or loss from any of these transactions. It is baseless charge and a blatant abuse of power. This should be thrown out by the first judge that is a reputable member of the legal profession. 

Sadly, we can expect that they have a judge lined up, who allow this suit to go forward in the interest of political expediency.
