The tables have turned on New York Attorney General Letitia James as the Department of Justice (DOJ) intensifies its investigation into her alleged civil rights violations and potential financial misconduct. MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos, hardly a conservative sympathizer, admitted on air that James should be “very concerned” about the DOJ’s sweeping grand jury probe, warning that such investigations often uncover “never before known issue[s].” This stunning development exposes the hypocrisy of James, who weaponized her office to target President Donald Trump in a politically motivated witch hunt—only to now face the consequences of her own alleged corruption.
Cevallos, speaking on Chris Jansing Reports, laid out the gravity of the situation: “There is nothing scarier for a citizen [than] to get a subpoena or find out that they’re being investigated by a federal criminal grand jury. It’s terrifying. And here’s why: Grand jury investigations sweep broadly. They gather terabytes of information. And they’re very efficient at going through it. And the problem there for people is that they may be investigating issue number one and then stumble across never before known issue number two when going through all those documents.”
The DOJ’s subpoenas reportedly focus on James’ dubious civil fraud case against Trump and her equally questionable lawsuit against the National Rifle Association (NRA). But as Cevallos noted, the feds could uncover far more than they bargained for—especially given the bombshell allegations that James herself committed mortgage fraud. The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York have already launched a formal investigation into these claims, further jeopardizing James’ credibility.
James, who brazenly campaigned on a promise to “get Trump,” has predictably cried foul, calling the DOJ probe “political retribution.” Her attorney, Abbe Lowell, whined to The New York Times, “Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job is an attack on the rule of law and a dangerous escalation by this administration.” The irony is rich—this is the same Letitia James who abused her authority to slap Trump with a $450 million penalty in a case widely criticized as legally baseless and politically driven.
Meanwhile, President Trump continues to dominate the legal battlefield, with multiple courts overturning leftist prosecutions against him. The DOJ’s scrutiny of James is yet another vindication for Trump, proving that the Deep State’s attempts to destroy him are crumbling under their own corruption. The liberal media, which cheered James’ persecution of Trump, now scrambles to downplay the probe—further proof of their bias.
