The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud. Reports reveal she’s accused of falsifying loan documents for properties in Virginia and Brooklyn – the same type of financial misconduct she used to pursue former President Donald Trump. This shocking development exposes the hypocrisy of a top Democrat who weaponized the legal system against political opponents while allegedly breaking the law herself.
James faces scrutiny for claiming a Virginia home as her primary residence to secure better loan terms, despite using it as a rental property. She’s also accused of lying about the number of apartments in her Brooklyn brownstone to qualify for favorable government-backed mortgages. These exact schemes mirror the “fraud” charges she leveled against Trump in her $450 million civil case against him.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik praised the investigation, declaring “nobody is above the law.” She highlighted James’ history of unethical behavior, including over 50 prejudicial social media posts attacking Trump during his trial. Stefanik noted the irony of James facing charges identical to those she fabricated against the former president – proving her entire prosecution was politically motivated lawfare.
The probe follows a criminal referral from Trump-appointed housing official William Pulte, who uncovered documents showing James’ pattern of deception. New York Democrats tried to hide their corruption by sneaking taxpayer-funded legal protections for James into a state budget bill. Hardworking New Yorkers would foot the bill for James’ defense while struggling with sky-high living costs caused by failed Democrat policies.
James’ lawyer claims the investigation is “political retribution” – the same absurd excuse Democrats used to dismiss legitimate concerns about Hunter Biden’s laptop. This desperate deflection ignores the mountain of evidence against her. The Biden Justice Department’s decision to pursue charges shows how severe the allegations are, given their usual reluctance to investigate Democrat allies.
Legal experts warn James could face wire fraud, bank fraud, and false statement charges carrying major fines or prison time. Her credibility as New York’s top law enforcer lies in ruins after getting caught committing the crimes she falsely accused others of. This scandal proves the “rules for thee, not for me” mentality infecting today’s Democrat Party.
The investigation delivers poetic justice for Trump, who James targeted through years of abusive lawsuits. While the former president fought her bogus charges in court, James allegedly engaged in real financial crimes behind closed doors. Everyday Americans see this double standard clearly – elites like James break laws without consequence while conservatives face persecution for imaginary offenses.
This case represents a turning point in holding corrupt Democrats accountable. For too long, radical leftists like James abused their power to attack Trump and his supporters. Now the walls are closing in on their lawless regime. True justice requires applying the law equally – whether targeting a Republican president or a Democrat attorney general who betrayed public trust.
