Judge dismisses James Comey and Letitia James cases, finding prosecutor's appointment invalid

[Factotum]

Donald's financial shenanigans were well known in New York and have been for decades.

Yes, the largest and most-criminal city in the Western Hemisphere --with the most loan-securing businesses in USA history... had never before, in 105yrs, experienced this type of crime until Trump was charged with it.

Ordinarily, that phrase is one of the forbidden, but it seems apropos here. But what an unserious Congress we have! One part I don't get is why this was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Latest Action:	House - 05/15/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Oh look! A deflection! Not taking the derailment bait, thanks just the same.

 

[RocksInMyHead]

Yes, I agree with that. As it is the sole point I was trying to make... that Tish likely sat up, imagined that Trump might be committing the same bank criminality she's been committing for decades, created a campaign around the goal of prosecuting him, then... charged him, just like she promised to if she won.

Just a reprehensible and corrupt woman.

This presumes that James committed a crime. Given the lack of success in even obtaining an indictment against her, that seems a very dubious presumption to make.

Sufficient drawer space for it to die quietly in.

Incorrect. New York Executive Law Section 63(12) has been on the books since 1956, and has been used to successfully prosecute many cases, including Exxon Mobil in 2018 and Martin Shkreli.

-- A2SG, that was very easy to debunk, you need to do better research....

I don't think Exxon Mobil nor Shkreli showed up to sit at any defendant's table, in this similar circumstance:

"Trump and his lawyers said his financial statements weren’t deceptive, since they came with disclaimers noting they weren’t audited. The defense also noted that bankers and insurers independently evaluated the numbers, and the loans were repaid... Trump’s lawyers argued that many of the case’s allegations were too old... The defense also contends that James misused a consumer-protection law to sue Trump and improperly policed private business transactions that were satisfactory to those involved." Trump's massive civil fraud penalty for exaggerating financial statements is thrown out by appeals court


You can do better research next time, to avoid excluding vital info.

That's completely irrelevant. You claimed New York had "never...experienced this type of crime until Trump was charged with it." I showed you the law, and two recent examples of prosecutions based on that law. Neither Trump's defense in that case nor that the judgment against Trump was tossed changes anything, Trump was still found guilty of fraud under New York Executive Law § 63(12), just as Shkreli was.

New York Executive Law § 63(12) is not some obscure law that has not been used in 105 years, as you asserted.

-- A2SG, nor has that law anything to do with the failed indictments of Letitia James....

I believe i misstated what I meant. You @A2SG helped me figure that out --by your attempt to point out the law that Big Tish was empowered by, and not focus on the veracious actions by Trump that wrongly were called fraud by Big Tish. New York hates Trump so all of NY will agree with the lawfare result.
Perhaps it is what Trump did that has not been treated as a crime, in 100+ years.

What was wrong about it? Trump committed fraud, James proved that in a court of law by a preponderance of the evidence.

New York hates Trump so all of NY will agree with the lawfare result.

Um, in 2016, 2.8 million NY residents voted for Trump. In 2020, 3.25 million and in 2024, 3.5 million. Granted, more voted for his opponent in each election, but it can't be said that "all of NY" hates Trump. A lot voted for him.

Sorry, but fraud has absolutely been treated as a crime for a lot longer than a hundred years.

-- A2SG, especially in NY.....

No, Big Tish proved only that there's an unethical judge who hated Trump as much as she did. And he helped her fleece due process via lawfare.

I disagree. The 3.5M likely voted against the Liberal-Democrats disdain of the USA. They hated Trump that day, but they hated Socialism and living 'woke', waaay more!

Trump didn't commit fraud, so the banks kept lending to him.
He committed fraud only to lawfare experts (Big Tish, Engeron, etc) who prosecuted and convicted him.

So you're now accusing Judge Engoron of judicial misconduct? What is the basis for this claim? What evidence do you have that the judge acted unethically?

Other than that you disagree with his ruling, of course.

Wow, your mind reading powers must be strong if you can discern the motives of millions of people all at once. So tell me, if they hated Trump, why did they vote for him? Why did Trump win the GOP primary over all the other GOP candidates?

Trump didn't commit fraud,

He was proven to have done so in a court of law, based on evidence.

so the banks kept lending to him.
He committed fraud only to lawfare experts (Big Tish, Engeron, etc) who prosecuted and convicted him.

The appeals court that threw out the judgment did not reverse the verdict, so they didn't find any judicial or prosecutorial misconduct or legal errors of any kind. Why do you suppose that is?

-- A2SG, are you able to read the minds of everyone on the appeals court too?
