Well, well, well—looks like the self-righteous crusader of New York, Letitia James, might be caught in the very same legal trap she’s been trying to set for others. After spending years chasing President Trump with lawsuits built on shaky claims and political theater, James herself is now the target of a federal criminal investigation. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany have officially launched a probe into allegations of mortgage fraud tied to her personal real estate deals. Oh, the irony.
So why is the Northern District of New York (Albany) handling the case instead of the famously left-leaning Southern District in Manhattan? U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent it north, which raises some eyebrows—but maybe Bondi knew that anything sent to SDNY would get buried under politics and partisan protection. Unlike the usual swamp routine, Albany might actually do its job.
The alleged fraud isn’t some clerical error either. Letitia James apparently claimed her Brooklyn building had four units when official documents said five. And that’s a big deal. Why? Because mortgage programs backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—like the HAMP loan she received—are only available to 1-to-4 unit properties. So if her building had five units, she wasn’t even eligible for that sweet, low-interest modification that reportedly saved her tens of thousands a year. That’s straight-up lying to a bank. It’s called mortgage fraud. It’s a federal crime.
Oh, and let’s not forget her Virginia property. James supposedly declared it as her “primary residence” in 2023, even though there’s no evidence she actually lives there. Again, why lie? Because declaring a property as a primary residence helps you get better loan terms and lower insurance premiums. You and I can’t get away with that. But she thought she could.
And this woman had the audacity to drag President Trump through the mud over alleged misstatements to financial institutions? Give me a break. As legal analyst Johnathan Turley put it, “if we apply the Letitia James standard that she created, there’d be little question here.” Yeah, no kidding.
TGP even unearthed a 1983 loan application where James and her father signed as “husband and wife.” Now, either that’s one grotesque clerical mistake or someone was really comfortable faking identities for financial gain. Either way, it stinks.
So, while the corporate media is too busy clutching pearls over Trump’s latest poll numbers, maybe they should be asking: Is the woman leading the political persecution of conservatives just another corrupt Democrat playing fast and loose with the law?
What do you think—double standard, or just business as usual in Democrat-run New York?
