“This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.
“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost. The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.
“His decision to fire a United States Attorney who refused to bring charges against me – and replace them with someone who is blindly loyal not to the law, but to the president – is antithetical to the bedrock principles of our country. This is the time for leaders on both sides of the aisle to speak out against this blatant perversion of our system of justice.
“I stand strongly behind my office’s litigation against the Trump Organization. We conducted a two-year investigation based on the facts and evidence – not politics. Judges have upheld the trial court’s finding that Donald Trump, his company, and his two sons are liable for fraud.
“I am a proud woman of faith, and I know that faith and fear cannot share the same space. And so today I am not fearful, I am fearless, and as my faith teaches me, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. And I will continue to do my job.”
She’s a tiger! Go get ‘em, Ms. James!
I cannot fathom how the DOJ is going to be able to find anybody to argue this case. She’s going to eat them for lunch.
A state AG that has more guts than all of them. No one the gop will make waves, admit the felon is wrong or stand up for our constitutional democracy
It’s time to change the stars on the flag to bananas.
This is actually an impeachable offense for him and the Bondi.
Meanwhile, Tom Homan took $50,000 bribe in paper takeout bag. No investigation
Maga: “We are the party that is against the weaponization and persecution of political opponents”
Another lie

Impeach AND remove for high crimes. The president takes an oath to FAITHFULLY execute the law and DEFEND the Constitution. Trump is doing the opposite of that and so is completely unfit for the Office of the Presidency. He needs to be removed post-haste.
I thought this was brought before a grand jury? There must have been enough evidence if she was indicted.
Statements like these are made to muddy the waters and skirt accountability
Trump’s next move is to rename the Department of Justice to Department of Vengeance.
Can Letitia James sue the Justice Department and Bondi for false accusations? If so I’d say a few million for damages would be fine.
