Letitia James: Mortgage fraudster

[Dan Druff]

If you're going to pursue cases against a US President over relatively minor financial transgressions, you need to make sure your own past is clean.

Apparently Leticia James figured that nobody would uncover her own false statements to banks in the past, and now Trump is jumping on it.

The allegations seem pretty damning, although they involve a time period between 2 and 42 years ago.

In 1983 (when James was 25) and 2000, James purchased properties and stated a false husband on her mortgage application. The "husband" was actually her father, and being married increased her chance of being granted the loan. James is not accused of actually having been married to her father, but rather falsifying "husband" info in order to qualify for a loan which otherwise might have been rejected. At the time, she was not a public figure, and probably felt she'd get away with it.

In 2001, James purchased a 5-unit apartment building in Brooklyn, but listed it as having only having four units, both in building permit applications and mortgage documents. It is not clear how she benefited from this lie, but presumably there was some shady reason for it.

More recently, in 2023, she claimed that a Virginia home was her "primary residence" in order to get a favorable loan during a purchase from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This was while she was a NY State Prosecutor, where the requirement at the time was living primarily in the state of NY. This means that either she was violating NY law by being a Virginia resident while working as Prosecutor, or she lied on the loan application (the latter of course being the truth).

Similar to the Trump cases she prosecuted, James is not accused of actually stealing any money, but rather of lying to financial institutions in order to give herself opportunities which might have otherwise been denied.

James will not comment on any of it.

You can't even say that she stopped doing this stuff 24 years ago, because the 2023 allegation is more of the same thing.

Trump, of course, is thrilled to see this, and the feds are now appointing a special prosecutor. It is a crime to lie on financial institution documents when seeking loans or investment.

Nobody can say she wasn't warned. She deserves whatever she has coming to her and so too does Alvin Bragg and the judge overseeing the felony case. Fani Willis has hell to pay too and nobody can say she wasn't warned either. And to think, its only April.

[Dan Druff]

I'm not a fan of Trump's vindictive streak, but in this case I'm okay with it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, and all that.

If prosecuting Trump for lying to banks is okay to do during a Presidential election where he's the presumptive Republican nominee, then the prosecutor herself can also be charged with similar crimes, even if revenge is somewhat of the motivation.

She looks guilty as sin here. I find the 2023 thing the most obnoxious one. Imagine being a high profile prosecutor in 2023, and still getting a loan based upon a phony state of primary residence! That's far different than pretending to being married to her dad in 1983.

Miss Karma can be real a bitch...

[Orko]

Nobody can be this stupid, this is unbelievable.
Would the Trump admin forge documents to protect 8 or 9 billionaires from insider trading charges?

[desertrunner]

Hope the Trump Admin does a full press on her and she sees jail time.

And no, just because she is black, she is NOT a victim.

“No one is above the law.” Letitia James

The PFA libtards so far are silent on Tish James mortgage fraud allegations. They were highly vocal on her false charges against Trump. Silence is golden.

[Cerveza Fria]

Snotatine is silent on this one.....not surprised

[gut]

I dont care at all about Trump or Letitias loan applications.

Maybe im a bad American.

I was always against the Trump indictments. Not because he wasn't guilty, but I knew it would galvanize his people if anything. You would have to be a retard to think Trump isn't a longtime financial criminal at minimum. In their hearts they knew that and didn't care long before that shit.

I don't blame him either. She is guilty I am sure, sounds like tax evasion. Wanting VA to be primary to avoid NY tax and not disclosing number of units sounds like you don't want to declare the income from one of them? Maybe she had a tenant ask her for a cash deal of some sort?


I was never of the we have to do something about Trump crowd. Like I don't think I ever shared those GOP Lincoln dudes or got excited about any of the criminal cases.

To end Trumpism, he needed to fail miserably. Big swings happen in this country when someone fails, and it crosses over to the general public where everyone knows it's a fail. Like W.

For only being 3 months in, he is failing far greater than I expected and I am actually starting to worry that with the way he is going, we are going to end up with a President AOC-type because it's the opposite of his fail. Which I have no interest in seeing as I head to the cage to cash out for retirement.

I know a dude who is a longtime financial advisor here. The Midwest is largely an unsophisticated area in financial matters, so he is successful, but San has forgot more than this guy knows. He is a total trump homer and watching the mental gymnastics the last month has been something. He has went from explaining the tariffs, and all the other homers saying thank you, go Trump.

That went on for like a week straight. Then each stupid Trump comment and escalation they started to get chippy with him like a week ago. Early this week it was 50/50 straight up hostile and there isn't a Dem voter in the whole comment chain.

Now he is napping it out.


I just want Trump to head back to the golf course and fail slower. This is a historic pace of fail. Claim victory and go back to the links. China and EU are in talks to waive all tariffs on EV vehicles if they can agree to min pricing. Elon has to hate this shit.

We will see tmrw when it wraps with Japan. I hope they just go back to whatever it already was and he claims victory. This whole path has been pure idiocy. If they don't wrap a deal with Japan they aren't wrapping a deal with anyone that matters before significant damage is done. People are done with this shit just from their 401ks before the price increases have even hit.

Crybabies with liberal bias like BCR forget the S&P 500 is at the level of Jun 2024.

They know what Trump is doing is the right move but their fear of liberalism dying because of it won’t allow them to accept it.

Keeping boons subservient and dependent on the government is all liberals care about.

None of that shit has happened or will happen. You’re a delusional cult member siting in Depends.

Has ruined the economy despite caving multiple times. World is laughing at him.

Has completely failed at Ukraine peace process. Rubio announcing they are close to abandoning attempts to end war after obese man said it would be over the day he entered office.

Zelensky parading Chinese soldiers fighting for Russia on tv. Trump sucks Putin’s cock while he is aligned with country we are in trade war with.

Has surrounded himself with incompetents in every office. Signalgate, multiple Noem
Blunders, deported wrong guy and now defying constitution and 9-0 SC decision because it’s an incompetent government and he has zero respect for the constitution or the law.

Just a complete embarrassment. Almost all tourism to the US is being cancelled from abroad. The whole world outside N Korea and Russia hate us and our cult of obese orange worshipers.

He’s been a fail by every metric thus far. No one is kissing his ass besides his inner circle of morons and his cult of brain dead gullible losers.

Have a nice Good Friday Mickey! Glad to see you still spinning, both literally and figuratively

Sonatine, BCR and the other crazy liberals on here described in song.

They may not be black, but they are in spirit so this one is for them.

Letitia James' transgression here is actually worse than what Trump was being accused.

That's because James did her 2023 version while holding a prosecutor's position, where the requirement is to have primary residence in NY.

As a state officer of the court, to falsify loan documents to declare yourself a primary resident of a different state, is akin to declaring yourself ineligible to hold the position.

That's the one which is by far most egregious. The 1983/2001 shit with her dad, whether to acquire loans or evade taxes, is more mostly-victimless stuff that is roughly equivalent to what Trump did.

I know you hate Trump, but objectively what has gone on negatively with your life since he was elected? I mean think hard. Nothing in my life has changed, like nothing. I see all these leftards freaking out on TV, but what is the issue? I saw gas prices in the south last week at 2.59? Went to Olive Garden the other night, $14.99 an entree, seemed normal? I know we have a wife beater in El Salvador who crossed the border illegally and sent back to his home country, seems reasonable. Why are you so agitated? What in 90s days is making you so angry? It can't be some shitbag sent back to his country, what is going on?

She is an absolute hypocrite. That's the problem with politics. You can be conservative and I can be a liberal, but the goddamn politicians are neither- they say what they think we want to hear and do whatever they can to make themselves rich. I am so disillusioned.

Biden was senile and his protectors lied about it. That lost the Dems the election all for his hubris. Then he pardoned his corrupt son despite saying he would not. He said Hunter should pay the penalty blah blah blah until he didn't. Then 1984 like- I never said that! Trump is a corrupt rapist. Where do I sign?

P.S. Biden pardoned the cash for kids judge- look it up. Their excuse was they did not review the details of each case (they pardoned!) and he'd served almost all his sentence anyway. Seriously? Fuck him.

Heads up Todd. You basically defamed L.James in your thread title.
No evidence, no trial and no conviction.

There is a difference between the James and Trump cases.

Trump's case is based based on cold hard data (proof), court proceedings and a jury decision.

James's "case" relies on writers employed by Ruport Murchoch.
There is no evidence, no counter arguments and no judicial edict

Also, judges do not pick the "case of the day."
Revenge motive eliminated, at least on the surface
