Democrat Officials Abuse Offices, Hitting Trump, DeSantis With Political LawfareNew York Attorney General Letitia James has filed suit against former President Donald Trump, three of his adult children and his business empire, accusing them of large-scale fraudulent financial practices and seeking to bar them from real estate transactions for the next five years. This is Politico, so: Trump had fought efforts to force his deposition in the NY AG's case, but lost a series of court challenges on the issue. When he finally appeared for questioning last month, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 440 times, an aide to James said. Yeah, why would Trump imagine that he's been targeted by abusive prosecutors who are just out to get him? I mean, they're just on videotape literally telling people to vote for them so they can sue Trump. Literally:
Is that allowed? Making a political campaign promise to abuse your office to persecute a political foe? Why no, it's not. At NeoNeo, Alan Derschowitz says it's a cause for recusal. She can't be involved in the case, give that she's announced a conflict of evidence -- she promised to sue Trump whether there was evidence against him or not, as a political plank of her candidacy. The first move former President Donald Trump's attorneys should do to fight back against New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil lawsuit against him and his family members is to push that she be recused and disqualified from the case, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax Wednesday after her announcement. And it can't be a sham recusal either, as Kim Foxx executed, where she "recused" herself while having her subordinate, who continued reporting to her, arrange to let Jussie Smollett off the hook. I've been wondering: How can the state sue for Trump allegedly "defrauding" banks? The banks do not allege fraud -- the "victims" do not allege they've been victimized. What the hell kind of rogue prosecution is it where the prosecution claims that a non-complaining non-victim is a victim but they just don't know it, and then sues on "the victim's" behalf? Viva Frei is wondering about that, too. The banks do not complain they were defrauded, and also profited from the deals. They were not "defrauded" of any money. They were not defrauded of anything. Nothing was taken from them by trickery. But Tish James is going to sue to "make them whole" anyway. Kurt Schlichter thinks she filed this suit just in time for her own reelection bid -- and that it won't survive long past that. Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter He means remove the case to federal court, but that requires "maximum diversity" of all parties in a suit, who must all be from different states. That's not the case, so he can't do that. I have only skimmed this dog's breakfast of a complaint, but what popped out at me for the parts I looked are were the lack of damages allegations, much less ones against NY, the plaintiff. You cannot sue if you did not suffer a loss. None are pleaded in the parts I looked at. Don't worry -- they're not, by and large. They're just punching the clock until they can get appointed to a corporate board somewhere. They don't want to upset the Marxist-Corporate Oligarchy.
Meanwhile, a sheriff in Bexar County, Texas is investigating DeSantis for "crimes" in transporting illegals to Martha's Vineyards. What crimes? He doesn't know. Some crimes, though.
DeSantis' team wrote back to that sheriff noting that 53 illegals died in the back of a truck in his jurisdiction just months ago. And that the 50 illegals sent to Martha's Vineyard are all alive and healthy. This sheriff, Salazar, went on to recommend that Texas restaurants hire the illegals to wait tables -- illegally, because, you know, they're not allowed to work. But what is "the law" to a sheriff anyway?
As to the illegal aliens who are suing DeSantis -- put up to it by Marxist lawyers -- claiming that their rights as citizens under the 14th Amendment were violated (what?), here's one of the complaints: Judd Legum @JuddLegum Oh, she felt defrauded? Your honor, I'd like to enter into evidence my client's Feels. You know, fraud requires that you're actually defrauded of some tangible thing. What was swindled from them? They got a free trip to a destination hot-spot that they wanted to go to. In what way have they been made materially poorer? If they say "We don't like being here," well, you can get on another plane. Are you saying you want to be compensated for four hours of time in the air? Seems to be a pattern here of claims of "fraud," where the alleged victims were not actually defrauded of anything. Oh, and you'll never guess who's funding the activists filing this ludicrous stunt lawsuit. Go ahead, guess. Yeah that's right, I thought you'd guess it. The activist group at the center of a class-action lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Florida officials for migrant flights to Martha's Vineyard has received nearly $1.4 million from George Soros' Open Society network. The good news is, you're well-informed and capable of inductive reasoning. The bad news is, you're antisemitic.
Yes, when viewed from the perspective of partisan media, DeSantis looks almost unstoppable. But to a typical person -- someone who may have heard about these stunts but doesn't know much about DeSantis otherwise -- he looks a lot like a bully, someone willing to play high-stakes games with people's lives for the sake of his own ego and advancement. So Trump is MAGA for the showmanship of it, but Redrum DeathSanguination is a True Believer Cultist of MAGA and thus much more evil and dangerous? You sold me. | Recent Comments
