Said Abbe Lowell, lawyer for Letitia James, quoted in "Justice Department Subpoenas Office of Letitia James, a Trump Nemesis/Ms. James, New York’s attorney general, won a civil fraud case against President Trump that is on appeal. One of the two subpoenas is related to that case" (NYT).
Department of Poetic Justice.

Poetic Justice. The veil was dropped. The curtain was retracted. Trump will be elected to a second term.
Althouse is on a roll today. Hard to keep up!
Shame-free NY attorneys. There cannot be a worse group of humans. The NY appellate court could partially correct the matter by reversing and dismissing the civil fraud case.
"Nobody is above the law" Right Letitia?

Nemesis or nematode? With the fullness of time, we are led to conclude the latter.
James won her office by promising to go after one man - Donald Trump. It is, in effect, an Office of Attainder. If Trump were to create a new office for no purpose other than to go after James, it would be appropriate and just, by her own standards.
It would be really cool if Congress and Senate supermajorities passed an amendment permitting the president to serve more than 2 terms in certain cases. Make the exception specific to PDJT
Then get the states to ratify it it in time for him to run in 2028.
Then have him run and win.
Totally within the bounds of our democratic system, right?
How could the Rachel Maddows of the world complain?
This is what democracy looks like, no?
In my dreams...

"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

Democrats write the rules. Republicans just win by whatever rules the Democrats write.
This bitch is going to prison. She's guilty of many, many felonies.
She went after Trump for political reasons. Trump's returning the favor. But leave it to the NYT's to assert one is good and the other is bad.
"No one is above the law". That applies to Trump and Leftwing Lawyers and AGs. And wait for it... even Democrats.

Indeed. The one that weaponized a DoJ is James and, as she does, she charged someone with a crime she herself seems to have committed.
Why should James be afraid of a DoJ investigation? She didn't break the law, right?
One must have a heart of stone to not laugh and laugh and laugh at Letitia James.
Letitia had better review the legal ramifications of perjury before she tries to explain how many residences she's fraudulently claimed over the decades.
Hoisted by her Fani.
Althouse called it the Department of Poetic Justice. Brilliant! I'm using it and I will try to remember to give credit where credit is due.
The DC Bar association and the California state Bar have gone after lawyers who helped Trump fight the election fraud in 2020 and want them debarred. And unable to practice law. These same organizations have refused to debar Leftwing lawyers who've been convicted or perjury and other felonies. That's what we're up against.
Punch back twice as hard
Now do Boasberg and Merchan.
He’s just doing his job. The outrage, to the extent there is one, is the Times publishing the statement with little context to help readers understand what it is and how little it means.
What WhoKnew said.
Someone last month pointed out that briefing on Trump's appeal from this NY state verdict was complete over 300 days ago. The average time frame for a civil case appeal decision after briefs are in is 35 days. The corruption goes deeper than James.
i'm curious if ANY ONE could be SO STUPIDLY MORONIC to not see the irony in this..
Inga? could you comment?
thanx!
As usual, the comments by NYT readers show a high level of ignorance and malevolence. For example, who knew that Trump “was convicted by a jury” in James’ fraud case? Why, several Times commenters “know” that.
If the civil war that the assholes publishing the Times and other leftmedia are promoting comes about, do they really think they will be able to continue purveying their garbage?
They're all out of shame over there. Sense of fair play also on backorder.
"Cry Baby cry!"
I worked in the Legal Department of a Fortune 50 company. The General Counsel of the company once told me that a litigator is a person who can tell a jury that horse puckey tastes like vanilla ice cream. Abbe Lowell is obviously a litigator.
Turnabout is fair play, no?
Winning! Even if Left-Titia skates* the process will be worth the watch.
* The grand jury will be Albany, NY.
Like so much the Donks have cried about in the last 200 days, I just file it under Gales of Laughter and wait for the next thing.

That's not the way I heard it, Sonny
The way I heard it, a lawyer is someone who can tell a jury that horse puckey tastes like icecream. A litigator is someone who can make the jury believe it.

I suppose that, if the virtue-signaling idiots of the Upper East Side elect an incompetent Fatigro who only got into law school because of AA as their District Attorney, because she has promised to pervert her office in order to attack their political opponents, then when she does exactly that, she is "just doing her job".
Poetic Justice is correct.
Since when is a subpoena a punishment? It looks like Mizzz James knows something about someone that could get that someone indicted, and she retained a shyster to avoid being questioned under oath. If it's Hillary this is about (and it is) breaking omerta will earn Letitia the Vince Foster award. Therefore, lawyer up, bitch.
"If prosecutors carry out this improper tactic and are genuinely interested in the truth, we are ready and waiting with facts and the law."
Apparently his client has not explained to him how this process works. Or else he believes that her enemies are more principled than she is. I suppose that might well be true.
"The way I heard it, a lawyer is someone who can tell a jury that horse puckey tastes like ice cream."
I've always disliked vanilla ice cream.
Reminds me of the old definition of chutzpah, murdering both your parents and then throwing yourself on the mercy of the court because you’re an orphan.
Adam Schiff has to be looking over his shoulder.
Latitia can avoid jail time by getting elected President
Nobody is above the law amirite.
On September 26, 2024, the Appellate Division heard oral argument on Trump’s appeal of the civil fraud judgment in the case brought by James. At that time, Politico reported that the panel seemed receptive to Trump’s arguments and “frosty” to James’ positions. It seems that a decision is long overdue.
I asked repeatedly right here how she could campaign on "getting Trump" and putting him away. I asked if that in itself was not illegal, vowing to jail someone before a crime was even reported or articulated. I asked again when the details of how they brainstormed a way to twist facts into a charge using DOJ people who "volunteered" to assist the DA and AG.
None of the resident lefties ever defended her. None of them answered how she run for office promising to jail someone while also presuming him innocent as the law requires. None of them care now. They just hated Trump.
James is caught in an Ouroboros with her consent. Hoisted by her Fani.
“Department of Poetic Justice.” The Times published my comment which stole this line. Thanks.
It seems that a decision is long overdue.
Justice delayed.
Are they actually admitting that they can't win on appeal? Trump was convicted. Then delay, delay, delay until the election. So now they're going after the prosecutor?
Oh. I forgot. Retribution.
What goes around comes around.
For the last 60-some years, a main purpose - perhaps the main purpose - of the DOJ has been to punish elected officials. Usually to the cheers of Letitia's compadres.

"Oh no! Anyway."
Nice Clarkson meme Arashi. It fits.

kaka, you are another of the NYT reader types, a moron who doesn't know Trump wasn't "convicted" in a civil case.
The part of all this that makes me smile the most is this.
It's still early. Very early. There is much business to be settled.

Late August, when the NE is on vacation (our schools start mid-August).
How do we get to a sane middle ground? How do we get both sides to agree that the government should not be prosecuting political opponents for political reasons? Who strikes this bargain? How?
It is disheartening to see so precious few sane voices calling for sanity on this issue. Do we just spiral into an endless game of tit-for-tat? I am guessing Rahm Emmanuel will try to stake out this territory, but who else?
Lowell's statement would be the pot calling the kettle black except that would be an insult to both the pot and the kettle
Lowell probably bills at $2000+ an hour, paid for by us NYS taxpayers?
"Hoisted by her Fani."
Please. "hoisted" is not a word. "Hoist by his own petard".
Gird up Gerda because it will be a fight. Republicans turning the other cheek all this time didn't buy us any goodwill. The perps have to feel pain themselves or they will never ever learn.
THEY popularized the saying "No one is above the law." THEY need to feel the wrath of justice righting their wrongs, proving the words true. Where is THEIR contrition or acquiescence? It's not like Chuck Schumer is offering any compromises. James does not regret all-out lawfare on Trump. Where is ANY goodwill shown by the Left?
EVER?
"How do we get both sides to agree that the government should not be prosecuting political opponents for political reasons? Who strikes this bargain? How?"
Prosecute and punish; the opposite would be let it go
