New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) was arraigned in a federal court in Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday, where she pleaded not guilty to mortgage fraud charges two weeks after a grand jury handed down her indictment.
The remarks she gave outside the courtroom to a crowd of supporters as she was leaving to head back to New York were the height of chutzpah, given her and her party’s history of weaponizing the justice system against Donald Trump:
“I want to thank all of you. I want to thank each and every one of you. I want to thank you for your prayers. I want to thank you for your emails. I want to thank you for your support.“It has strengthened my spirit. And it has anchored my soul. And so, I want to thank you.“But this is not about me. This is about all of us, and about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge. This justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge – and a weapon against those individuals who simply did their job and stood up for the rule of law. And a justice system which unfortunately is being used as a vehicle of retribution.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) had to invoke race into the discussion because of course:
But the facts, as it turns out, don’t care about James’s feelings nor those of her defenders, as others observed:
Last but not least, some final thoughts from Tish James herself, from February 2024:
When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people.Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them.There simply cannot be different rules for different people.
Except when you have a (D) beside your name, apparently.
