Yet, you fucks still support a convicted felon and sex offender. There were other solid cases, as well. But those got sidetracked for reasons other than evidence.Well duh. Of course she’s innocent until proven guilty. That’s why there will be a trial.
However,
On 2020 New York ethics forms, James reported $1,000–$5,000 in “rental income” from the property.
• Federal tax returns treated it as “rental real estate,” claiming deductions for expenses while reporting rents received.
• She informed her insurer it was “owner-occupied,” contradicting the rental use.
Actual Use:
• The home has been continuously occupied by her grandniece, Nakia Thompson (age 36), and Thompson’s three children since 2020—shortly after purchase
We shall see at trial.
But like I said , don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.
If proven she did commit fraud, it was incredibly stupid for her to go after Trump . But the plan was not for him to get elected.
That’s what she is. Real estate lawyer. Trump’s own toady.
The career prosecutors wouldn’t touch it.
Illegal and impeachable.

No shit, Einstooge. I was referring to the criminal expertise of the person who was hired specifically to obtain that revenge indictment. That expertise?That’s not the lawyer that made the post on X.

I'm looking forward to seeing how many of Trump's lackies will be dead or in prison by 2028.
Even a short civil war will result in a lot of dead MAGAts across America. Mostly dumbasses no one would miss. LOL
The problem with that entire argument is that it is based on no facts.
What evidence is there that James rented out the secondary home? (I have seen reports that her Schedule E declared between $1000 to $5000 in income for renting real estate.)
How much time must a person spend at a secondary home according to the law? Two days? Six months?
Speculation by somebody with no facts about the case as to what they think should have happened is nothing but pissing on yourself.
Also, the mortgage company/bank is no longer in existence, they sold her loan, so who is being defrauded, exactly?
It is very common for banks to sell loans. Fannie and Freddie were designed to buy FHA loans from banks so they could make new loans. It's the rare loan that ends up being serviced by the original lender for the full time of the loan.

Fact is we don’t know what the facts are. Or are you privy to the facts somehow?
An investigation would no doubt discover where that income came from. Or have you already done your own research?
All states are different.
Here’s what is publicly known:
- When James bought the Norfolk property in 2020, she signed a “Second Home Rider” as part of the mortgage. That rider required her to “occupy and use the property as her secondary residence” and prohibited its use as a timesharing/shared occupancy or being rented out, unless the lender agreed otherwise.
James allegedly declared the property as a non-investment secondary residence but never occupied it, instead renting it rent-free to relatives while claiming rental deductions.

James, who led a civil fraud case against US President Donald Trump, was indicted in Alexandria, Virginia.

You’re speculating yourself in that there are no facts. Of course there are. Nobody really knows what those facts are at this time.
One fact is know. Trump had to find his real estate lawyer to even seek an indictment. Retribution, pure and simple.Fact is we don’t know what the facts are. Or are you privy to the facts somehow?

I agree it’s retribution. Not sure what makes it illegal if she actually received a favorable loan fraudulently.
Is this it ?
Shouldn't the investigation have been done before the indictment. It's interesting that the indictment is pretty sparse about the facts.
The problem comes in when you actually look at the FHA guidelines for a second home which allow rental income from a second home.Here’s what is publicly known:

B2-1.1-01, Occupancy Types (10/05/2022)
This topic contains information on occupancy type requirements, including
must not be rental property or a timeshare arrangement1
If the lender identifies rental income from the property, the loan is eligible for delivery as a second home as long as the income is not used for qualifying purposes, and all other requirements for second homes are met (including the occupancy requirement above).
Just because there is rental income is not a violation of the rules.
Then the prosecution will have to prove that James never occupied the home at any time during the first year of ownership and never intended to occupy it. Good luck to them to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt when the standard is the jury will have to assume she did until proven otherwise.

Lindsey Halligan didn't have a strong case against Letitia James. She indicted her anyway.

Revenge or vindictive prosecution is not only illegal, it’s a violation of due process. So, it’s unconstitutional, as well.
Impeachable.

I'm sure that was just another mistake. Strange at how her mistake always favored her getting a lower interest rate.Fact is we don’t know what the facts are. Or are you privy to the facts somehow?

That’s what her lawyer is saying. And that the “mistake” was later corrected. Problem is she still got the preferred rate after the “mistake” was corrected. Oops.
Indeed.Strange at how her mistake always favored her getting a lower interest rate.

Of course not. But it’s a source the loons have respect for. That’s why I link it frequently here. It sure shuts them up when it doesn’t agree with their arguments!
