Trump’s worst legal nightmare isn’t Robert Mueller: Meet Letitia James

The blue wave that came with the 2018 midterms was bad for President Donald Trump not only because Democrats obtained a majority in the House of Representatives (with a net gain of 40 seats) and picked up more than 350 seats in state legislatures around the United States—they were also bad for the president because of a Brooklyn native named Letitia James. On November 6, the 60-year-old Democrat was elected attorney general for New York State. And James has made it abundantly clear that after she starts her new job in January, she will launch comprehensive investigations of Trump, his family and his business associates.

In 2019, Trump’s legal headaches at the federal level will include Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russiagate investigation, the investigations of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the new Democratic House of Representatives—which will be able to launch all kinds of investigative committees and subpoenas. But the election of James in November presents a different type of legal headache for Trump, his family and his associates: one at the state level.

Odd how nobody remembers Preet Bharara. He was fired by trump BECAUSE he wouldn't drop his existing investigations into trumpco.

This is nothing new, and I cannot wait for next year.

Preet Bharara is the former U.S. Attorney who fought corruption, financial fraud and violent crime.
 
"As president of the United States, Trump enjoys certain executive powers—including the power to issue pardons for federal crimes. The people Trump has pardoned so far at the federal level range from Scooter Libby to former Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt for his unconstitutional tactics against undocumented immigrants. But the key word with the Libby and Arpaio pardons is “federal”: Trump had the power to pardon them for federal crimes—and he has the power to grant Paul Manafort (his former campaign manager) a presidential pardon for tax fraud, bank fraud and all the other crimes he has been convicted of. But Trump does not have the power to issue presidential pardons for criminal convictions in individual states, including any that might come about in 2019 in New York State. And James obviously plans to keep her staff very busy next year."

So, according to Althea, ... Trump CAN fire a U.S. Attorney (Preet Bharara), but CAN'T fire a New York State Attorney (Letitia James).

Well, I guess that is a good reason to be interested in building Trump Tower Moscow Resort.

The U.S Attorney is both the primary representative and the administrative head of the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the district. The U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) is the chief prosecutor for the United States in criminal law cases, and represents the United States in civil law cases as either the defendant or plaintiff, as appropriate (see generally 28 U.S.C. § 547).

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has the additional responsibility of representing the District of Columbia in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the equivalent of a municipal court for the national capital.

Each U.S. Attorney is the chief federal law enforcement officer within his or her particular jurisdiction. U.S. Attorneys and their offices are part of the Department of Justice, and thus of the executive branch of the government. U.S. Attorneys are supported by the Justice Department's Executive Office for United States Attorneys.
 
Cool. What's that got to do with Letitia James about to unleash Holy Hell on the Trump Organization?

"James has said that she plans to investigate the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting in New York City that was attended by Manafort, the Trump Organization’s Jared Kushner (who is married to the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump) and Donald Trump, Jr. as well as Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya and others. And New York State’s incoming attorney general also noted that she will be investigating Trump’s real estate holdings in NYC for potential illegalities."

trump had a couple of rape cases too, but the victims were threatened just after the election. They dropped the cases, but they were part of the Epstein case. I wonder if we'll see them again?

I'm more interested in Trump and his Financial Dealings. I was always worried that the White House would become a Big Money Generator for Trump and his 'Organization'. I had visions of every sort of person standing in line outside the WH doors with briefcases of cash, waiting to do 'Deals'.

Highly inflated room fees, which event planners attempted to lower.

One thing matters to the trump klan...money. They are so blinded by it, they ignore anyone who attempts to tell them that their crimes are way too obvious, and will not stand up to scrutiny.
