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 The curtain was retracted.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?
John Henry
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.
James won her office by promising to go after one man - Donald Trump.
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.
John Henry
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.

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.
It seems that a decision is long overdue.
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
Do we just spiral into an endless game of tit-for-tat?”
I hope so …. In spades. Let me know when the Trump DOJ goes through Letitia James underwear drawer (ugh) or when I see the James mugshot or when the FBI does a 5AM raid at her condo.
Just exactly which crimes are to be ignored if the perpetrator is a political opponent: theft, murder, rape, treason? How about illegally prosecuting your opponents for made up crimes or spying on a President? Nothing is more un-American than putting people in power above the rest of us legally.
The answer is to prosecute more, not less, and to make false prosecutions very serious crimes. There is no workable alternative.
"The answer is to prosecute more, not less, and to make false prosecutions very serious crimes"
This.
Hey, while we're on the subject, what about that abject and reeking criminal worm Mayorkas? Hasn't he got a mortgage?
Driscoll - the FBI agent who refused to give the DOJ the names of FBI agents who worked on the J6 witchhunt - has been fired. And I applaud. I dunno why Federal employees think following an order from boss is optional. Driscoll was probably doing more sabotage of Trump then we realize.
Typical left behavior.
1) Left uses lawfare. They applaud. woo hoo, no one's above the law. Hunt em down and put em in jail. Haha.
2) Right returns the favor. The Left cries. OMG, It'll be and endless tit-for-tat. The weaponization of Justice. wah wah.
Why interact with these lying clowns?
Meriam-Webster
poetic justice
noun
: an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate
The "Department of Poetic Justice" would have results counter to Trump's Department of Reactionary Regressive Justice, where rule of law is attacked and vice overcomes virtue.
Trump and Webster are in agreement, Gaddy. It is you who is praising vice and condemning virtue. Like ALL the other Trump cases we will eventually learn who’s right. You haven’t won one yet.
"How do we get to a sane middle ground?"
You mete out serious enough punishment to anybody who campaigns on imprisoning someone who has been convicted of no crime that 20 generations from now, just reading about it makes people shudder.
Until the price is too high, Democrats won't give up the game.
Boasberg has finally been told to stop it. You don't get to write a ridiculous order that can't be followed then hold people in contempt because they didn't follow it.
Rule of Law means NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
Not Democrats.
Not prosecutors
Not FBI or CIA heads
If you prosecute the opposition leader before an election using flimsy cases, you've made your bed: now sleep in it.
What happened to "country over party?"
Suddenly they don't believe in that anymore?
"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?"
There is no sane middle ground.
Prosecutors have vast power and must be unimpeachable and should be the MOST scrutinized for law breaking.
If she broke the law, she should welcome punishment to uphold the honor of the legal system and create trust.
Why should there be some squishy moderate "its okay when powerful people lie and cheat" plank?
No honey - you abused the law - and now it's time to feel some pain.
It is common knowledge that the left has used hackers to find embarrassing or illegal activities committed by their rivals.
And used this information to coerce said rivals into doing as they are told.
There must be info regarding web searches, text messages, etc. on these leftist animals that the right could use to their advantage.
Paying hackers to search for the bad deeds would be money well spent.
The left assume their corruption should go unanswered.
The corrupt left can go F themselves.
Fat-ass bitch goin’ down…
Hope she is paying lawyer out of her own pocket.
Doubtful though.
“Adam Schiff has to be looking over his shoulder”
As if the Gimp had one. Let alone two…
Not mentioned is the DOJ is also investigating JB Letitia for her lawfare treatment of the NRA.
The collective corrupt left are like the fake "rape" and Smolettes
What happened to "country over party?"
Suddenly they don't believe in that anymore?
Well, there is a reason why Democrats have characterized the #resistance as "saving democracy" rather than "preserving our party's hold on the unelected bureaucracy, which enables us to act with impunity whenever and however we choose."
Oh the Commie irony. ‘Tish charged Trump for defrauding tax payers with him over valuing his properties.
Guess who is paying ‘Tish’s legal fees? None other than New York state taxpayers.
Please. "hoisted" is not a word. "Hoist by his own petard".
Mr. Webster says you are wrong, sir.
Did y'all know that a petard is an explosive device?
I figured it was some kind of underwear.
I have just learned that Wile E. Coyote was Shakespearean.
Also, the word is derived from the French word, petard, which is linked to the verb peter, meaning "to break wind" or "to fart," reflecting the loud, explosive nature of the device.
Now I've learned that Shakespeare was a master of fart jokes. What a day!
So "hoisted by her Fani" is correct English, and a linguistically Shakespearean fart joke. From the French, bitches.
Seems like a waste of resources. Can’t he just issue an executive order finding her guilty of treason and imposing a death sentence. His entire cabinet can be the firing squad
Fani, Fani, Obami. Oh, my, Fani. James, James, the same. Hoisted on her petard.
Lean in. Send her to Planned Prosecutorhood (PP) at a friendly neighborhood umbrella corporation. They know how to relieve an evolving "burden" h/t Obama. Equitable and Inclusive.
"If prosecutors carry out this improper tactic and are genuinely interested in the truth, we are ready and waiting with facts and the law."
Neither the facts (no loss, therefore no fraud) nor the law is on their side, so all that's left is to pound the table.

You know, what really concerns me is that Trump has the FBI conducting SWAT raids on innocent Democrats, dragging them out of their homes at 4:00 AM in chains in front of their families, and hauling them off to the private jails he has set up around Mar-A-Lago, where the political hack judges he packed the federal bench with are allowing his criminal henchmen to hold them without bail for years on end on the flimsiest of made-up charges. What has this country come to, when the law can be perverted and degraded in this fashion? Free Letitia! Free Hillary!
Lawyers! Am I right?
If you are the "attorney for the damned" you may be a devil yourself.
"Can’t he just issue an executive order finding her guilty of treason and imposing a death sentence. His entire cabinet can be the firing squad"
Or if you're on the left, just arrange for an assassin. Or two.
As Quaestor points out above, these are subpoenas, not indictments. Issuing a subpoena is not a "punishment." If Lowell and James think the subpoena is invalid, they can move to quash. Crying "unfair prosecution" is nonsense. Methinks she doth protest too much.
It does not appear that either subpoena has anything to do with the mortgage fraud case against James. Because if it did, she's have to decide whether to take the Fifth.
However, "Department of Poetic Justice" is a keeper. Thanks for that.
"If prosecutors carry out this improper tactic and are genuinely interested in the truth, we are ready and waiting with facts and the law."
Said Abbe Lowell, lawyer for Letitia James,
The problem for this lawyer and her client is that James filled out mortgage applications for buildings she was buying and claimed them as primary residences to get more favorable loan terms and she didn't even live in the States where she was buying the houses.
That is actually mortgage fraud. The definition of.
I would go to jail if I did that. Some of us could probably grease the wheels of justice and not go to jail but it would take connections and money.

Not Retribution.
Social Engineering.
We don't want stalinist prosecutors who commit mortgage fraud in our country.
We don't like evil political parties that corrupt government institutions to attack their political opponents, persecute them, and spy on them while working with Russian spies and foreign billionaires.
"Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job..."
Is buying properties her job?
Sorry.. Obama and Biden 'weaponized' it all long time ago... and what goes around, comes around.
LOL - the train has left he station
I suspect the subpoenas are targeting the planning stages of the Trump civil case. Alvin Bragg will be getting them, too, for the criminal trial very shortly.
Abbe Lowell was a young Dem Inquisitor of Ollie North and others at the '87 Iran Contra hearings. He must pretty old now.
Weaponizing the Department Of Justice to try an punish parents for trying to do their jobs is an attack on the rule of law, families, and dangerous escalation by the last administration.
The revenge tag is fun.
Althouse did a poll on our feelings the day Trump was inaugurated.
You've got it wrong. What he is after is not revenge.
It is a reckoning.
My mother told me that cheaters never prosper.
